Life?
Folder:
Myspace Blogs When you ponder upon the very thought of life what do you think? I want to know what people, who are not me think about life. Is "God" some gigantic child with a very pissed off ant farm and if he is then what gives him the right to controll our fates. Does god have a god in which he prays to if your christian or religious at all have you ever thought about this? If so why? If not then why not? Do you realize that the concept of a god is absolutely stupid as is the concept without a god? I believe that there is some form of a god and humanity had that truth in the very beggining when all was one he showed himself and humanity split and wrote out their own version of what they saw and later politics corrupted the most delicate aspects of this omnipitent creature/creator. Only the most pure and peacefull aspects of what god is can be fished out of todays corrupted literature and that isn.t much at all no more than a few sentences. We had a god and we killed him thats what I believe, what do you believe(ask yourself)?
These are a few of the comments off the mypace site. I thought this would interesting to see. I'm replying as "Headshott".

NAW SON! God never existed. We made him up to have something to look up to. Humans are basic creatures. We eat, kill, mate, and have basic desires. Then this thing "creativity" came along and fucked us all up. We actually thought about how things work. but that doesn't matter!! Technology is useless just like religion. All this thinking and pondering is nonsensical. Live your life. Eat. Mate. Poop.

If God were God, then how could we kill him? If we could kill him, he wouldn't be God at all, but simply some other form of life. I believe God is not just another form of life, but the source of life. Which is also what gives him the right to control our fate (if you make something, is it not yours? Do you not have a right to decide what happens to the Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich you hobbled together? And copyrights show that we believe there is some intrinsic value in owning what we create, especially that which is dear to us. How much more would you feel your rights violated if you were to make a masterpiece and someone took it than a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Well, we're a LOT more complicated than that PB&J...) Here's something interesting though, and it's a point on which a lot of beliefs split. Supposing God, and supposing his right to our fate, but does he exercise his right to the fullest? I believe that God is not inactive, and that he does influence the world, but I also believe he gives us a choice. He has the right to force any of us to do anything, but instead he gives us the choice to follow him or not.
Being God doesn't make God good or pure or benevolent... but I believe he is all those things, and boy would we be in trouble otherwise. I agree the state of the world is not so great, but that's the natural decline of a world which through its choice has embraced sin and embraced idols that are not God. But my heart has peace which this world doesn't know and can't understand through all its scientific exploration or philosophical reasoning. Not that I'm perfect, or that I don't have stresses and problems, but that I have a hope which carries me through the darkest times.
Furthermore, I believe that God has a love for his creation we can scarcely imagine, a love that was so strong that although we as a human society had done everything which he had decreed from the beginning of time to be worthy of death, and we had done them a hundred or a thousand times over, turning from God, or even spitting in the face of God, that despite all that, he had compassion on us and a desire to give us another chance, a chance to be redeemed and to find a hope that had been missing in this plane of existence. He sent a part of himself, himself fully embodied in human form to pay a debt we owed... God is the man who gave you five bucks in the grocery line when you could barely afford bread, only on a much grander scale. This is the part where my belief gets a name, and gets specific. God sent Jesus to die for us, that we might live. Now, i realise, and I think it was Mark who mentioned this before, it's not much of a sacrifice for someone to die if they know they can just come back to life whenever, but I don't believe that was really the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. That was the payment that was due for our sin, but what it meant for Jesus to do that was so much more than physical death. Jesus came in form of human, but without sin, and in perfect connection with God the Father... they were one in the same yet two... which makes very little sense... but on the cross he took on the sins of the world "My God My God, why have you forsaken me?" He was separated from God the Father by the barrier of sin. For Jesus, that separation even if it were only a few hours, was worse than a thousand gruesome deaths... God, in essense, tore himself apart in order to give us a clean slate, a chance for freedom. Through that, God had the power yet, to pay the price and then to show his glory by Jesus's rising again, more glorious than before, because he had conquered death itself (true death, not just the physical side). The best part, is that all God asks, is that we accept the gift he's offered. One doesn't clean themselves and then present themselves for salvation, or try to put his or her life into order first. Nor do you need perform some elaborate ritual, all you need to is to realize that you have already been payed for, and accept the gift. "Believe and you shall be saved." The life we live, the "morals" so-called that "Christians" have are a by-product of a new life, not the way we attain anything.
That's what I believe.
Also, if I'm wrong, and there is no God, then I will have missed a lot of chances to pleasure myself with eating, mating and poohing, but once we're dead I suppose I won't be any worse or better off than anybody else.

According to the bible, God created man in his own image.
Why does man sin?
This has to mean that either God didn't do a good enough job creating us in his image, or that God is suceptable to temptation the same as we are.
Either way, he is not a just God because man cannot change the fact that man will sin.
That means God likes to punish actions which he knows we cannot help.

First of all Josh let me thank you full heartedly for your comment it was very fullfilling and I hope you had no sort of angst when it was written. I didn't mean to offend if I did. When I said we killed God what I meant and should have elaborated on more was we killed the true concept he wanted to convey of himself to us with corruption. About this though "(if you make something, is it not yours? Do you not have a right to decide what happens to the Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich you hobbled together? And copyrights show that we believe there is some intrinsic value in owning what we create, especially that which is dear to us. How much more would you feel your rights violated if you were to make a masterpiece and someone took it than a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Well, we're a LOT more complicated than that PB&J...)" You don't trully believe that do you? A woman and a man can create a child does that give them the right to kill it?? Isn't that very thing a sin that God created? If he writes the rule book why is he allowed to contradict himself? Killing is a mortal sin is it not? Why does he kill in the flood of Noah? Sure we have a choice to follow God or not, but is it really a choice when the alternative is ETERNAL DAMNATION? Why should he have to do that couldn't he just leave well enough alone? Our justice system on earth is flawed but not as much as God(or the human version). What I'm saying is that those things that don't make sense are my red flag to true human corruption because like you said God is glorious and perfect and that doesn't leave much room for some one so stupid. Also please keep in mind I'm not attacking the christian god I feel that everyones concept is not to far from their own neighbors I just want people to think and like you so fullfilled make me think. Thank you so much for your input I hope to hear again soon. Jesse
