Anyway,
God pretty much just ignores me. Salutary neglect, I say. I've prayed to him for three distinct things, one, to see an angel, two, to have dreams about flying, and three, to be taken on the morning of the 26th.
Has any of these happened to me since I asked for them? No, of course not. And I try my very hardest to keep good faith and enforce the Ten Commandments.
I obviously don't get what's wrong.
dude, what could make you give up belief? there is no actual proof, just your faith. and you honestly, if you dont live this life to the fullest, what happens when there is no afterlife? you die, and you dont wake up.
death is natural, yes, but it is the only thing thats keeping the human race running. without death and war, humans would focus on medicine. and that means the average human life expectancy would raise tremendously. the world would be over populated instantly. honestly, what if your wrong.
i highly doubt that when you die, you get sent to heaven or hell. no man can finish life without sin. and dont go carrying on that jesus did, he is only a figure of statement. even auburnattack has sinned. therefore he will be sent to hell? his mere name could be a sin. and if a normal, committed man will go to heaven, how polulated will heaven be? hundreds of millions of faithful men have died.
and as i said before, what will happen when we discover a different being? if we were based of god, what would they be based of. what would christianity do? god has never revealed himself, and never will. and those people who say they have talked to god and see angels, they will just be so high on bible that they dream it.
i used to believe, but soon came about that nothing makes sense. and someone tell me, does giving yourself up to a greater being prove yourself in any way? doesnt that make humans a weak and puny species that cant care for our selves? yet look at us. without help from god or anyone, we have created cities and conquered the planet. through out history, humans have adapted and evolved to what ever troubles and obstacles that fall in our paths. watch what happens in the year 2012. watch as millions of you christians pray and beg for forgiveness. watch as you get humiliated in front of the world for believing.
i am sorry if the above wording offends you in anyway. i am simply stating my point, and give absolutely no poo, big or small, about what you think of it.
