and since I don't ascribe to an belief, I want you to KNOW another passing comment about my beliefs:
I am mixed about any faith in a GOD. I do believe in a creator but that same belief does not permit me to go out of my way and create methods of WAR around the planet.
buck, I am flattered that you want my attention, I really am. My faith in God is bigger than the concept of war. However I am also not a passificst or delusional to the point that I believe that passivity is safe, in a fallen world.
There is a time and a season for all things under the sun, including defending oneself against people who are violent ,and wish to enslave or kill people.
You, perhaps would prefer to be dead or be a slave, and that is your right.... but no matter WHO created you, you do not have the right to decide for anyone else.
And apparently you are not able to grasp the finner points here. I agree with you that the religions of the world are dangerous to peace.
I do not have a religion, and neither did Jesus. Both he and I stand up against religion....
Surely you are smart enough to understand that at some level. So, I wish you well in figuring that out.
As far an unicorns- well, I sit in peace and prosperity. My prayers are answered. I feel the weight of God in my life on an hourly basis. I sense the awe of a great and mighty creator. My life has been saved numerous times, and I have a complex understanding of the Bible and of the world that is not of my own making.
It is pure logic for me to have faith in what I know is real in my life. I pray that you will get this. I pray that you will be saved. I pray that you get to Heaven.
I pray for people to be healed and many times the people I pray for are blessed. Why you keep relating my faith to war- screams fear. You just do not want to accept that you very well may be wrong about God and Jesus. Well, I am here to say that it is never to late to figure out what your beliefs are...
Well, yes it. It is going to be too late to figure it out, when you are dead.
