Communicating with Him

[Welsh cake]

I spent 8 years as one and truly believe I was as lost then as i was before I went to church. your work does not make you Christian. It is a matter your heart.

If I were FallentoReason I'd be rather pissed off with you right about now.

You're seriously comparing FtR's efforts to start up missionary work and raising the necessary funds, to you getting off your fat arse to go to church for one Sunday morning service?

Where do you get off?

There is no "Your will be done," in Islam, or Hinduism, or in any other religion on earth. These are by nature "selfish" religions. People pray to the gods for what they get out of it. In Christianity, we pray for what we can do for God.

Bullshit.

Because:

The more we do God's will the more content we are.

You pray for your own personal comfort and benefit.

Moving on.

It's spiritual.

Meaning what exactly?

As such, answers come in the form of inspiration. See the word root there- "in-spira-tion." It means to breath in.

Don't be so ignorant. The word inspiration comes from the Latin noun 'inspiratio' and verb 'inspirare' which originally meant "to blow into", not to breathe in.

You're getting 'inspirare' mixed up with the translated term 'divinitus inspirata' ("divinely breathed into").

Question you need to ask yourself is does your background of Christian theology blow or suck?

In Greek, breath is synonymous with spirit.

Oh crap not this bollocks from you again. No it doesn't! The word "Pneuma" (πνεύμα) is the ancient Greek word for "breath" in classical antiquity means "air in motion, breath, wind,". It is not be confused with the easily distinguishable word "psyche" (ψυχή) which in classical philosophy originally meant "breath of life", but is regularly translated in religious context today as "spirit" or most often "soul".

Question you need to ask yourself is does your background of Ancient Greek history suck or blow?

It's your thought, not a voice or a radio signal. God made nature to do His work for Him;

This does not help your argument for God. Not in the slightest.

You are basically asserting it all happened naturally, without any intervention from a god. So once you've dug yourself out that stupid assertion perhaps you'll explain whether you think the universe first came about naturally or divinely? You can't have both.

I may be having a problem with my boss, thinking he is irritating. I find myself reading 1 John 4 and the section on love. Instead of fixing the situation by removing the stressor, God has helped me see that the problem lies in my heart, and not with my boss.

Or maybe your boss really is fucking irritating? I digress, I don't know what your boss is like with regards to interacting with other people in and out of the workplace. Nevertheless, telling us all this is senseless as we've no experience in dealing with your boss on a day-to-day basis.

Prayer is partly about mending faults in yourself, like in this example, and also about comfort/encouragement, and lastly and just as importantly, for helping others.

Couldn't you just skip straight to the part where you, oh I dunno, help others. It doesn't matter how much you pray, if the act of prayer itself is counter-productive and a huge waste of time, you're not going to improve your faults by continually committing more time to the pointless exercise in mental masturbation. >.>

God is in all of us.

Ewww.

I think non-believers don't experience this "draw" because their minds are walled up.

Yeah that's right keep telling yourself its everyone else who's close-minded and not you. >.>

That is not an accusation.

Its bad comedy. From you.

Because a non-believer is unwilling to admit their predisposition towards evil they feel no answer from God in the form of impulse or thought.

In what context are you using the word "evil" in?

Then you must put His wishes above your own.

Ha. No. God can kindly get off his cosmic fat arse surrounded by angels constantly singing his praises (according to your theology) for one damn minute and inter-fucking-act with humanity.

The love story between you and God is the purpose of the universe.

I'm asexual mate. I find talk of romance and love stories to be a complete and utter load of bollocks as it is. Adding god to that mess doesn't woo me over I'm afraid. Either that, or you're terrible at selling god as a product to me.

You are only satisfied when you are in it, and before that you don't even know what true satisfaction is.

Ewww (again).

That is heaven.

I'm content with what little I've got. No god or gods required to make me happy. You have issues about wanting more status and power with an all-powerful creator on the other hand. Serious issues.

Do not take any of my words as absolute truth.

We'll just keep humouring you instead then until you finally run out of puff...
