free will paradox

[Mystical]

@EsQ: That's great that you're good. As God is pure good then no one, not even you (no disrespect), comes up to that standard.

Love is God, because no matter what, he still loves you. God won't force you to worship him, but nothing would make you happier than to do so. That's what God wants for you: the best you can be.

How can god be love and not love certain people? Drich says god doesn't love us and backs it up with your Bible. I'm not loved until I bow down to god according to scripture, and I'm not his child until I do. God wants me to be the best I can be? How is it that the second I stopped believing in him my life has been the best it can be? Nothing has made me happier in my entire god-filled life, than dropping his ass. It's not because the devil is rewarding me, there is no devil. Just people, just life. In my opinion. It's because my choices in life have been purified, without the influence of god making them. Because when I made decisions based on the will of god, they weren't what was best for my life--I was beat down to a pulp for no reason whatsoever, by myself. You know, I made the decision to deny chemotherapy treatment at some point for my auto-immune disease because my family and a pastor told me god can heal me if I just let him instead of taking the medicines--and I almost died. I'm lucky I'm here, hence my name. I do what I need to do to get better without god in the picture, and hey! I'm getting better! How bout that?

Also with regards to the jews: why don't you ask the multitudes that he opened the earth and swallowed?
