Karagatho,

You are correct on one thing, I am simply here to throw things up for discussion, to maybe have one or two people sit back scrath there heads and go... hmm you know thats a different perspective... It would just be nice if some people used there own heads for a change instead of all the preprogrammed stuff thats already taken over who they are.

What you have to understand is that I am noty going to argue my points, because they cant be proven.. but i accept that. Im just making my thoughts public. Just as loosers like Tiger32 and Nubian, and many more use the bible to condem others, Im just using the Bible myself to show all the contradictions, and ethical injustices such as slavery being endorsed. Im also showing how times change, and yet the bibloe remains rigid, still reflecting the mood of the people of that time and era.

Now, Please take this with an open mind, cause im going to put myself out on a limb and comment on your experiance of God, which seems to be your proof that god exists.

The simple fact is this (in my opinion). Every choice you make in your present life, creates a new set of possibilities and options. If you are aware, and intune, you can make the most of opportunistic moments,or even if you are not, and simply living blindly from one day to the next... the same set of universal laws apply to everyone..

you made your own choices to get you where you are today.. you did that. You are responsible for your own position now.

If I spill something on my shirt, and so nip of to the laundry mat to get it cleaned, and on the way, I pick up a lottery ticket off the floor with no name on it and walk to the shop and check the numbers and win a million bucks..... Your going to tell me that it is due to Gods will that I won the million bucks?

If I had on the other hand bent down to pick up the lottery ticket off the road, and a huge truck ran straight over me, and caused me to have my arms amputated, are you telling me that was Gods work too?

Come on.. take some responsibility back for your own life... You can go around saying God this and God that.. but in the end its you, and what you choose to do with your life.. When you want to thank God, thank yourself, give yourself a pat on the back, you deserve it.. when you say "God, why me?" think why anybody.. its just the way it is..its life.

I have found for myself, that since I have accepted this fact, and taken responsibilty for my own life, things are better, my needs are less, im happy and content.. when **** happens I deal with it, and when good things happen, well then cool. But i dont run around pretending that some other entity is responsible for my life... no way. Maybe this is why i have spent the last 8 years traveling around the world, because i want the most out of this life.. and no one else is going to help me get it if i dont help myself.I follow my dreams and pat myself on the back when i achieve them.

I actualy love earth and everything on it, Im in no rush to leave this place just because most of the world couldnt give a ****, and only is concerned about an after life.. thats there problem not mine.

I want to see as much as i can, experiance as much as i can... but when i die, i die, who gives a ****.. its going to happen.. and what happens after that well, we will just have to wait and see. No fear : - )
