Real God

[bearheart]

It is a bit odd to claim he's beyond understanding, yet we can be absolutely sure he's good. Despite doing things that modern audiences would cringe at. although some will be honest and say they might as well worship him because there isn't anything they can do about it. You're either going to heaven, or going to hell. deal with it.

Assuming that there is a GOD, and he or she is a benevolent parent like figure as often described, would this GOD prefer, independent self spirited individuals who believe in themselves and make the best of their abilities or "cry babies" who disturb him for almost everything with annoying flattery.

The thing that baffles me is that people almost always define god so as to be outside our realm of reality and understanding, yet they know and understand a whole lot about him. This often includes a 100% trust that his motives are pure. I think such a being could deceive us twenty times before breakfast. He could makes us convinced beyond all doubt that he is telling the truth, while lying through his holy ass.

Or the devil killed god long ago and has since been impersonating him. If this is the case and he has fooled everyone into thinking he is god, how could anyone tell the difference? And it would make much more sense if the bible was written by the red dude.

If I may quote Meg Ryan out of context...
"YES!! YES!! YES!!!!"
I like to ask theists, "What part of ineffable don't you understand?" My less than civil implication is they don't understand any of it but are too stupid to recognize their ignorance.

FFS. Is this still going?

God is not what you think He is. He is not a a physical entity that you can feel. He is a force that exists in no tangible form, in a separate dimension.

How do you know that?
