Basically, if we live a happy life without him, and we don't believe in hell, you're not giving us any motivation at all to waste a lifetime trying to find him.
Then respectfully, this message is not for you. I am not trying to scare anyone into anything. I am providing those who want a relationship, or wondering why their relationship did not work some direction and a few answers.

Have a lot of Zeus worshipers where you live do you?

Quote:Quite frankly, I'd assume that an omnimax god would understand my beseechment even with my imperfect human emotions (which he himself created, as the Author of Everything).what if God isn't an Omnimax god? What if that was one of the cornerstones of the house you built on the sand that has to be washed away?
Quote:Either your god was so incompetent that he couldn't imbue in us the correct way to address him, or he is so maleficent that he will doom someone to apostasy for not dotting his "i"s and crossing his "t"s.and if God confirmed His presents to you while you thought He was an Omnimax God? Would you then tear down your house and seek out who God really is or would you continue to build your house that was built on the sand?
Quote:Either way, he looks like a big douchopottamus unworthy of your worship. Why would you like such a twat?
Or option three, God answers your prayer, shows you your crap theology and wipes your slate clean by not supporting your Sunday school effort to this point. In order that [/quote]you can either build the best house dedicated to Him that you can, or you can build a house dedicated to self.

That "knocking" shit can get you blown away in Detroit. Best to avoid it altogether.
Quote: Theodore Wafer, 55, is accused of killing Renisha McBride, 19, with a shotgun blast to her face through a screen door after she knocked looking for help last November.
Wafer said he was afraid when someone showed up on his porch before dawn and started banging on his doors.

Knocking did give the knocker proof of God did it not?
