Popular Post XenoFish Posted July 21, 2016 Popular Post #2 Share Posted July 21, 2016 God doesn't deserve my love, people do. They are deserving of love, compassion, understanding, and kindness. I think a better term would be humanitarianism. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorvir Posted July 21, 2016 #9 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Well, he's going to get neither my belief, nor my love. He shouldn't have to ask for either, it should be given freely because he's earned it. Just like everything thing else in the universe. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Hammerclaw Posted July 21, 2016 #10 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Who cares? Spilling your guts on the internet about it don't make no never mind. We'll all find out the truth when we die...or not. Either oblivion awaits us all or something more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't, since you're doing the thinking. Of course, we speak for ourselves. It would be presumptuous to speak for someone else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then why not just act out of love and disregard the whole worship part? Less steps, then again wouldn't acting out of love be a sign of faith (depending on the religious paradigm). So your actions are prayers in motions. Then why pray when you can act. Putting faith to the test. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XenoFish Posted July 22, 2016 #20 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Then why thank God when it is your actions that produce results. All that means is God is a motivator not an active force. Anything can be a motivator. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pallidin Posted July 22, 2016 #23 Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) I LOVE God. The Creator of all that is, and far beyond my simple understandings. Looking forward to meeting God upon my death. With all my incredible faults and bizarre ways, I have a serious love for God. I hope it is accepted when the time comes.
