I see people such as yourself shouting amen as blood rains down upon their manic faces. "Love love love", is the refrain from this ghoulish chorus and I cannot even conceive of something that might compel me to put my foot on that bridge..let alone walk across it.
LOL! Well my friend, you make a great case for Atheism!
I'm actually trying to "vicariously" put myself in your shoes. But to do so puts my spiritual evolution in diapers. And I cannot conceive being w/o faith in Jesus!
I guess one could look at the devil and see eloquence and refinement, and God as a leader of ghouls. But what leads a person to that vision? Well...rules would!
The devil is freedom from rule..... and God? We don't have that option.
But freedom is chaos w/o order. All the devil worship has always baffled me! Why would anyone take the inferior entity? LOL!~ my cash is on the BIG guy!
I've spend a lot of time trying to give an explanation of "my thoughts" and "feelings" about God. But, it seems all I've done is baffled you more than you were before. I put things in the simplest terms I could, and much to my dismay at diminishing what God has done for us, for Love. When trying to explain God in secular style...well.... it just don't feel right as a Christian!
Sometimes I feel like I'm better off...and you/all are better served by me/us just blurting out scripture, and general bible thumping. At least, the Word gets out there, and the Holy Spirit can do His thing!
The saving grace? I see hundreds, if not thousands are reading these words. Maybe one or two will get a spark, and go on to explore the Lord and find their own bridge to cross!
Quis ut Deus?
