then why did you just lie? lol...i'm NOT asking you. you said, essentially, seek and you shall find. well, i sought...and i DID find. depends on what god tells me. actually...i do try to share...but god told me that the stuff he told me would be waaaaaay over the head of the imprisoned...

Of course you don't. That would be irreverent...disobedient...defiant in the face of the Ultimate Authority Figure. That pushes your fear / guilt / child button. If everyone who makes the claim of "understanding" god had the same story, you might have a point. But pretty much every fanatic...

Sheesh...god himself says he is a jealous god. And he most certainly has an anger-management problem, destroying civilizations with a flood. You've bought into the narrative hook, line, and sinker so completely that you'll let god off the hook for ANYTHING...simply because he's god. So, yes...

Well...if the deceiver is merciful, loving, consistent, compassionate, understanding, honorable, intelligent...all worthwhile attributes / characteristics...yeah, that would explain the attraction there, wouldn't it? Compare that to bible-god...vain, petty, jealous, angry, vindictive...

Your spin is that you don't put a spin on it...just like everyone else. Sheesh...that takes care of every god out there. Good job! And the source of your information is...uh...what now? The bible, right? Or someone with a brain. Ahhh...so a decent, loving, merciful god isn't real then...

Lol...whaaa? Hardly a response to match the comment. The UB paints a picture of a desirable god. If that's the work of satan, then god needs a new advertising agency. God's own followers sound like they work for satan...driving people away from god, rather than towards god. That may be...

Well...the satanic influences in bible interpretation want you to believe that. The UB paints a picture of a god that's much more worthy of the name than the bible paints. What if that got out? Satan would lose his punch if folks found a god they actually liked. Those who think the One True...

Ahhh...now I get it! The "god-inspired" folks, filled by the "holy spirit", who wrote the bible are all legit...but any other god-inspired folks who wrote any other book are all filled by demons. Whew. I'm sure glad that's all cleared up now.

Amazing that more people don't think that way, FL. My own version of god is entirely unique...it's not inappropriate to say that god "revealed" himself to me in that way because it's all I could understand. That "god" is the source of life to me...the meaning of life...the reason to live.

Well, if you're not perfect, then your assessment of who lives in you and who doesn't is only belief and opinion, isn't it? There's nothing wrong with that...but let's call it what it is...and quit pretending that it's anything more than that. If you're not perfect, then it's only your best...

You're avoiding saying that you're fallible here. You can only know this if you're infallible. Otherwise...it's just another belief, another opinion. Okay...so we can hold you to that? Well...unless you're infallible, your "knowledge" is subject to error. Belief is not fact...so what...

Aimiel...unless you're perfect...unless you're infallible...then your "only" god is nothing more than your opinion. Are you infallible?

Well...unless you're perfect and infallible, Aimiel, you're not really qualified to tell folks who the "right" or "wrong" god is. The UB at least paints a vision of a god that is far more honorable, more accessible, more appealing, more god-like than the god of the bible. A better god can't be...

Okay...so your word is worthless. Glad you finally admit it. Strawman. I think your interpretation...which includes all the stuff that I regard is ludicrous...is ludicrous. Try to at least keep the context right, eh? I think it's wise to attempt to discern between the word of God and the...

Adam / Eve / serpents / gardens as literal existences are ludicrous...for starters. < 10,000 year-old Earth? Ludicrous. A world-wide flood that covered by mountain tops? Ludicrous. Humans with lifespans of 900 years? Ludicrous. A book written by humans as the source of "absolute" truth...

Well, no, it doesn't. Or...it proves itself the same way an Ian Fleming book proves the existence of James Bond...by referring to specific locations that actually exist. True. It's partially the fault of folks like you who make the Bible and God look so ludicrous that only a fool would...

Translation: "I don't have a whiff of proof for anything I believe, so I will make up whatever facts I have to in order to avoid facing the implications of my own ignorance."

Well, it actually speaks volumes about humans' virtually infinite capacity for self-delusion...for rationalization...but that's too nuanced / subtle a point for folks like Aimiel. Hey...if folks trust Marshall Applewhite, they'll most certainly trust the Bible...true or not.

What happens if someone never hears about the kingdom of God? Does he automatically get sent to hell...do not pass go...do not collect $200?

What race is that...the human race?
