"You want proof of God? He wants proof of your intent first."

And there we go again with the cheapo christian koolaid. "God will show himself when you convince yourself he's real." No shit: Delusion'll do that.

Bored now.(not Epimethean your post hit before mine)

So. Just as expected, a bunch of vague, highly generalized predictions, just enough to dupe the credulous.

Spiritual leader, my ass.

Drich, Those predictions a re vague, pretty much meaningless. I was a Christian many years ago, but deep down inside I thought it was all BS considering all of the different religions out there. I now feel better about life and myself and i never looked back. religion works for you because you want to believe so bad you lie to yourself. your story is either made up or you are deluding yourself.

Lol, he really was a psychic, they are masters at making general predictions sound specific!

I love those unspecific predictions. Like - You'll have good days and bad days. Or, things will happen in the future. No shit!

You know what would be a good prediction to make? Give me next weeks lottery numbers. If those numbers come up, I'll be convinced!

I can tell you that if I was told that I would have to endure a 250 dollar aday herion addicted wife, for the first 5 years of our marriage, or near bankruptcy, or alienation from my family, or loss of friends or being shunned from our church, or any of the really bad things I am not going to talk about here I would have probably taken the easy way out along time ago. I was given exactly what I need to endure those trials and nothing else. These things were not told to me so I could convince others, nor did I change them in anyway to convince you of what I know to be true. I have given you an accurate picture of what it is like when you get what YOU Need from God. It will mean little to nothing to anyone else. But for you Nothing else will matter.

If your last couple of posts are anything to go by, you seem particularly angry today, Drich. Hope there's nothing wrong.

Also a general clarification: I was told that I would get one shot at what was them my love interest. That I would know without a shadow of a doubt that she was willing and interested in going out with me, but I would refuse her even though I was not dating anyone and my feelings did not change. Then I would be given another chance, that she would approach me and by then my feelings for her would have changed, and that i would be interested in one God had prepared espically for me.
These things happened as described. She approached me and told me that she wanted to go out that night. I had worked all night the night before and just did 12 hours at church and simply did not have it in me to go. so we rescedualed and when the date came she had been swept up by someone else. A year later I met my wife to be and she (the first one) came to me and asked me out in front of my wife to be (before we actually went out on our first date) but by then it was too little too late.

Actually no. Thanks for your concern.

First off it's too bad you went through that, but there is a problem in you thinking that God gave what you needed for your situation. Many people including Christians go through bad times and end up killing themselves.
God was not there for them. I am sure you will say at this point God called them home, a great excuse Christians always use. Maybe you
were just stronger. As far as how you met your love interest that means absolutely nothing. If i turned down several women sooner or later i might hook up and then foolishly believe it was destined You see there are a million people for, you, me and everyone out there. If it gets you through your day to believe that God is looking down from heaven (always thought that someone looking down at me from heaven is creepy) knock yourself out.

PS I am more interested in how God communicated to you Is it just a feeling or does he talk to you? I am serious with my question. If you are uncomfortable with answering that don't worry about it. just curious
