And He is my Friend, not my Father, and I don't recognize religion as anything but one mans way to fleece another man. I'm not an asshole all thru the week and go to church and accept Jesus as my saviour so I can be an asshole all next week again. If the man on a mountain is from the Bible, excuse me, The bible is not my God's words, I don't believe a word in it. If it was, there would be no misunderstanding. My description of God probably wouldn't fit anyone else's description. It doesn't have to, I'm not looking for approval from others of my views. I don't discuss religion either because it involves a middle man and somebody else's opinion of where you need to go to talk to Him. I talk to God without anyone's help, and His house is this world, so I talk to him anywhere, and I listen for His answer. Sometimes His answer is 'NO'. I'm sorry you took offense at something I said. Maybe I was wrong, I'm open-minded enough to admit my defects, there's alot of them. Maybe you'd rather rant, without hearing what others think. If so, rant away, I only offer my views when I think someone is ready to look at views other than their own. My last post stands, regardless of whether you leave Gods name in or take it out, it's still the way of life as seen thru my eyes.
