It doesn't facilitate bigotry, so it has no practical use. Besides, these people are trying to escape their bodies and their lives. Why on earth would they want the kingdom of heaven to be within?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

What has sparked this thread rhythm is recent conversations with various ppls on this forum about "conversations with god" I maintain that "You are talking to yourself" and yet am assured that "Oh no we are talking with god and he gives us stuff" (after we go through many and varied physical exercises to get said 'stuff')

So I am using their own 'wholy words' that clearly states..
"The kingdom of God is found Within"

aka it has been a fucking con job from the start you dimglows!! Argue

Yep, marks, the whole lot of em. If I didn't have a conscience I'd be fleecing them too.

What isn't in the holy writ? It's a bit like picking up a thesaurus, throwing a dart, and claiming that the passage you hit has something to say about whatever it is you were arguing. ROFLOL

This whole thread reminded me of a Family Guy skit, where Black Jesus says to some woman "the kingdom of god is going to be inside you very soon".
