Suppose God spoke to you and said "listen, I hate to disappoint you but you've really got to lower your expectations. For mortals, there can be no existence outside a body. All of that is bunk. I'm powerful, but not 'all powerful' which I'm sure you realize is a logically flawed concept. There is a kingdom of heaven within and while you're there it will be sublime, seemingly timeless. Nothing lasts forever. You've got to stop taking it all so personally. The universe will go on and so will consciousness of it. Everything is fine. Just play your part. Everything is part and collectively it is Me, but I'm nothing without you. It's like the old Beatles tune 'You are me and I'm in you and we are all together.. koo koo ka choo .. or somthing like that'. Dig?"
What would you do? What will you do?
Nothing - because it's just the ramblings of your mind, rather than god speaking.
You're absolutely fucked up, how's the galaxy babysitting going?
Quote:However I've chosen to believe and know God who is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. The god you describe is far to limited, my God doesn't expect me to play a part but, to be involved with Him in his work for mankind. He expects me to believe in the impossible because, He makes all things possible, omniscient you know
He sounds just like Santa to be honest. I mean Santa made impossible things (getting down approx 1 billion chimneys in 24 hours) become possible.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
