What do you think aboutGod?

He is also my Lord & Savior.\n\nBut volumes have been written on what people think of God.  Could you be a bit more specific?

Yes. I have asked my pastor and friends to share their ideas after answering questions. There have been concepts covered here that I had not thought of before. It has served as a tool that has deepened my understanding and fortified my faith. My church is open to all questions, and we discuss whatever is on our minds on Wednesday nights, so the reaction has been as it always is, very welcoming and non-judgemental. A topic that I am currently mulling over is the concept of hell - whether it is the eternal burning and torture most think it is, or if it is obliteration by being thrown into the lake of fire. I'm leaning towards the latter lately as I have found nothing that indicates that hell is eternal torture.

Whew-- Here's a question to all those who post about religious folks and non-religious folks... Are we ever going to settle this? Yeah didn't think so.\nStill I commend Wrathpuppet and the more thoughtful responders by espousing their beliefs in as clear a manner as possible, and Schneb- That's got to be one of your shorter replies, kudos on the mutual respect.\n\nI'm going to shy away from a grandiose analogy, for a simpler one that might still fit.\n\nEver went to see a movie the day it came out, was blown away by it, and when you told your friends they needed to see it, and right away, they blew you off? Ya know like they'd heard bad reviews, or just didn't think the material was something they were interested in. But it's killing you because you love and respect these people and you wish them to share in this wonderful cinematic experience... and you're sure if they would just take the time and go, they'd thank you for it later? ** to carry this theme out... it's not that you believe these folks (that you're trying to tell about this great movie) have never seen a good picture before or that they couldn't discover it on their own, it's just that it was SO good for you, SO moving, SO vital, that you really believed if they never saw it, their life would not be as rich as if they had.\n\nShortest answer possible, they think they're doing you a favor or a kindness, you may already have an interesting life that has happiness in it, but they fear for your eternal happiness. \n\nI for one will leave each to their own, and only try an help the ones who say they are unhappy or in some need, and the answer from me rarely will have religious overtones. \n\nMy God is just love. Wrath, judgement, the need to be worshipped and obeyed are the attributes of other's Gods. \n\nThe afterlife does not hold auditions.

I like the song. The video looks kind of cheesy though ;)\nThe album is called "Believe" by the way!

God says He's a jealous God and I imagine He knows more about Himself than I do.\n\nConsider this: God is supreme.  He is GOD.  He wasn't invented by man, or He wouldn't be God.  He is all-knowing when we obviously aren't.  He's all-powerful when we obviously aren't.  He has always existed when we obviously were born not all that long ago.  He is holy and we definitely aren't.  He is GOD and is infinitely more awe-inspiring than we are.  Basically, He is worthy of praise.  He deserves it.  Just like kings and royalty get respect, He should get just as much and more.  He created us, we didn't make ourselves.  So imagine all that; imagine what the word "God" infers.\n\nAnd then read Exodus 20:2-5: "'Iam the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.  You shall have no other gods before Me.  You shall not make for yourself a carved image...you shall not bow down to them nor serve them.  For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God...."  \n\nIf God is really God, He has some claims on us.  Because we are not God.  We are His creation.  And one of those claims He has on us is that we worship His awesomeness.  I mean, imagine your favorite singer, actor, writer, athlete, and then imagine you trying to tell the media that, no, YOU are better than this person when obviously you stink next to their talent!  That is how we act as humans most of the time.  We don't give God His due.  And He has a right to be jealous.  Don't know if that answers your question, but that kind of jealousy is righteous.  Ours is petty.

I pray every day, many times.  I'm not usually on my knees with my hands folded and my head bowed, but I talk to God just the same.  I tell him everything.  I thank him for things large and small.  I ask for blessings on those who have made my life easier (like the guy who invented air conditioning! LOL) and for help for those in need.  The best part is he is always there and listening.  How very cool is that?!?

Well duh...what do you think?   LOL   \n\nSorry, son.  (yes, he's my son)

StarGate SG 1 hit the nail on the head, and I think it would be a good idea to pray the prayer that zqx357 has written if you want free from your sins. This is just my take on it, but, wouldn't you rather die believing in something that does not exist than to die not believing and finding out there really is heaven and hell?

Cool.\n\nWith love in Christ.

well im atheist myself so i dont believe in gd. i really dont care for it him or whatever you wanna call it. i think that "god" is a security blanket for the weak minded. all of the wars that we ever fought somehow tied into religion. i think its bogus

I Can Only Imagine. Just to think about what I would do in front of Jesus. I would want to sing to Him, but would i be able to? It is nice to hear othres think as I do. What would you do on that day? And "My Redeemer Lives" Nicole C. Mullens. And Awesome God, and God Of Wonders. Ultimately "Amazing Grace" What Powerful words to think about.

Good stuff how about\n\nThou shalt forgive all sinners, however only in the most patronising way possible\n\nThou shalt threaten 'burning in hell', 'everlasting torment' and 'demons with pitchforks up your bottom' to all sinners in the name of the God of eternal love.\n\nThou shalt not listen, think or form a logical argument

I like you're question.  I'm a Christian, but I just wanted to tell you I like you're question.  It really may get some to think.  I'm sure God likes it too.  Really.  God Bless!!!
