"I had a dream and refuse to accept the fact that it was just a dream. I also failed to take into account all the other dreams, which a majority we don't remember, and or chose to ignore the ones that don't fit. I fail to consider sample rate errors and selection bias. I am merely seeing what I want to see."
My eyes were open to something I did not know could exist. The clarity and realism of it has been set in my mind as a physical memory and not a dream. (meaning it seems and plays out as if I were there.) It is as real as anything else I have experienced in this life.
Honestly. If my experience of God was like yours i would most likly share your beliefs. I am not a man of great faith. I am a show me person and even then... I've experienced alot because it took alot to convince me, and even then I question and get scared when things don't go as I think they should. The only real difference between you an me? A/S/K.
IF you earnestly Take God up on His promise He will show up.
Sorry. Good logic doesn't involve drinking the Kool Aid first.
Now see if you can spot the pattern.
If you earnestly take God up on his promise, he will show up.
If you earnestly take Allah up on his promise, he will show up.
If you earnestly take Yahweh up on his promise, he will show up.
If you earnestly take Vishnu up on his promise, he will show up.
If you earnestly believe the Ouija Board works, you can talk to the dead.
If you earnestly believe witches are dangerous, you should kill them.
If you earnestly believe slamming planes into buildings will protect Allah, then you should do it.
Assuming first is a cluster fuck for humanity.
No, I don't swallow crap merely because someone else does.
I'll make you a deal Drich, if I ever buy a business, you can come and work for me. Every pay period when you ask for your paycheck I'll just say "It's an invisible paycheck, if you earnestly believe it is there, you will get paid." See if that logic will get your bills paid.
