"Blind fools"....I love that line from Jesus Christ Superstar...OK, that dates me, but what you have in the above image is a fools circle. If you have faith, you don't need a "Bible" and just having a "Bible" does not create faith. IF "god" is all powerful, all knowing and all loving, why does this "god" need a published document? Why does this "god" demand from inferiors such worship and groveling in fear and awe? Why does this "god" worry about sexual acts amongst it's created beings? Why would this "god" send its own creation to an eternal fiery place of pain and suffering because they don't believe? Substitute the word Koran for Bible in the above diagram and you are a Muslim Fundamentalist, aka terrorist. Are they going to the fiery place of pain and suffering because they follow their word of "god"?
Do you start to see the silliness in this yet? If you believe, and I do believe, in a "god", then what type of "god" is it? What all powerful being, who controls all life in its mind, NEEDS to be worshiped and praised? Does not this "god" know itself to be what it is? Is not self knowledge the first step in real knowledge? Why does "god" have to create creatures to bow before itself? Does an ALL POWERFUL "god" have to have minions (and in some cases millions of dollars) to tell others about itself and its power and might? What "god" do you believe in?
I am sorry if I offend you. If I offend you...move on..it's my blog, my ideas.
Oh, why do I use the word "god" in quotes and lower case, because I am using it as a noun, not as a proper name, so that it is applicable to any god you may believe, even if it is the god of absence. For anything that you place belief in, that becomes your god. Your life starts to center around the belief system and your behavior becomes your worship and ritual. By the way, I am writing a book, it is infallible because I say so, and well...you get the idea..I hope.

-our behavior is the result of our decision.

> Joanne, In Catholic teaching, ritual=liturgy and Liturgy is the expression of belief in action, so all things we do are in essence an expression of what we believe in or choose to make important in our life.
>Hannah, nothing personal, but you should have read my other posts before making judgments upon my knowledge of scriptures and its origins both historically and spiritually. I choose to remove your comment due its "preaching to me" quality, and assuming my ignorance of what I am quite literate and informed upon.
I like your perspective, no man holds a monopoly on "God" or as I like to say the "Truth." I liked to hear more of your ideas fleshed out...
so much blood wouldn't had been spilled If some people knew that whoever their "god" is, it means love
I see your point although I don't necessarily concur.
Is your book out yet?
So are you a true Christian (adherence to the Bible) or not? Fail to see your point.
You ask questions as one who does not seek. You will be damned as one who did not want to find.

I suppose I agree.
>thad jones My..what a loving god you have! Just because I don't seek him (though he is ALL knowing, ALL powerful and ALL loving) I am sent to hell to burn and cringe in pain. Wait, that sounds fair...sure..silly me, sort of like the 10 year old boy with a magnifying glass over the trail of ants...one goes astray...burn it's ass off! Just like your god! SIMPLE! After all, what is the use of being ALL powerful if you can't punish!
well, i like your blog. not that i agree, but i just thought everyone had their own judgement. for me, it is okay, if you already made your research, you know, searching for the truth by yourself and not just thinking. mind if i ask, have you ever read Koran? have you ever try to understand Bible? what are you, an ateis? it is a little bit sad actually that it seems you dont know why you exist. (i'm sorry if that seems rude) i am a muslim, and i study about christian and ateis. so, i love reading this kind of blog. your idea is something i
ve been looking for. i'm looking forward to read you updated blog. (please visit my blog if you have time n_n = arigatoallah.blogspot.com
i confuse of where to answer your comment in my blog, so i think it is okay if i state it here. i think you already know of pharaoh. he wants everyone to worship him as god. he thinks he is god. at that time Moses was chosen to be a messenger. he disobey and brag about his wealth and power. look where is he now? lying in his comb, unable to do anything. i mean he is dead, he is not a god. he wanted to be god. HE WANT TO BE GOD. you see, human is a unique creature. we have emotion and mind to think. sometimes, we forgot who we really are. not because we are clever, we are powerful. but some people think that way. that is why we need to worship god. to feel inferior. to remind us, always, that we are only human. i think there are a lot of answer out there, if you have time, search for it. oh ya, i'm glad you visited my blog. thanks. =)
Great Blog!!! I would love it if you would visit my blog, and become a follower. www.roof-detective.blogspot.com and www.momzblotter.blogspot.com. I look forward to seeing you there.
Interesting..... thanks for sharing. I have often pondered the same kinds of thoughts. But having been brought up in a southern Christian home, those thoughts are forbidden......
I totally agree that If people knew that whoever their "god" is, it means love...
