We don't need to "find God"; He isn't lost.

We need to find what blocks us off from God.
We need to do the work, then God can come to us and through us.

Do you agree that it is our responsibility?
and
how do we remove our blocks?

I am a smoker. :( I worked with the teens in our church, and loved the opportunity to minister and support them. I never smoked around them, and if the asked me about smoking, I would tell them the truth, and explain the dangers of it. The pastor from our church eventually prohibited me from working with the kids. Was this right? Why?

It looks to me that militant Mormonism has hijacked Christianity and twisted religion into a blasphemous and sad answer to their feeling of inadequacy. Most notably I would like to take note of their doctrine that promises that they will become a Deity at death and further that they will have single women sealed to them. So being a subject of the King of Kings isn't good enough you have to become a Deity as well. Sad!

Lets also take Brigham Young for example. It took 51 wives to make this guy feel like half a man. Good grief. When you look at the evil men that started that religion how can you regard it as a legitimate religion?

They like to say that King Solomon had 700 wives but they fail to remember that King Solomon is of the Old Testament. Jesus taught us not to follow the sinful ways of characters in the Old Testament. Jesus died for our sins and he didn't teach us to repeat the sins that Brigham Young openly flaunted.

I don't understand why so manyt Christians are proud to be "God-fearing"? Doesn't logic dictate that fear based relationships are dangerously one-sided? For example...When a person is in an abusive and threatening relationship are they not told by loved ones to leave the relationship? Shouldn't a relationship be completely equal? If so, is it not ones moral responsibility to make these "God-fearing" Christians aware of their circumstance so that they may free themselves from it?

FYI: As a curious creature I have read the Bible(many versions) on numerous occasions and went to Church from the age of birth-15. I have read many books on religion and discussed religion in many groups as I find it fascinating. However, this one question has always lacked an answer that satisfied me.

That was what was submitted as an answer to a previous question.

Am I to believe this actually makes sense to anyone?

Am I to believe this sounds like a god worthy of worship?

God can do -anything-!

He doesn't have to "sacrificed his only son to be murdered for your sins.".

A real God could simply forgive them, period.

A real God wouldn't need the melodramatics of torture and crucifixion.

A real God of love and compassion would understand Humanity and forgive, as a Father with his child.

A real God would not have to pull out someone and have him crucified to convince the child God loves him and forgives him.

I will -never- understand the mentality that believes the crucifixion was necessary to forgive sin.

A real God can do -anything-, and needn't resort to bloodshed to get done what he wants done.

And a real God of Love would -never- resort to bloodshed, ever.

I hear a lot of people talking about seeing them all the time, and I pulled up a few receipts from this week, and three of them were $21.12, and one was $11.11.

Is it good luck? Like a superstition thing?

What is the big deal? Each one their own? Why down Wicca? Don't give me crap about t.v. and movies. Because if any other pagan religion was popularized by the media it would have the same effect. So what's the excuse to judge another pagan?

It's pretty great, Richard Dawkins speaks at Randolph-Macon Women's College and a bunch of dorks from Liberty University show up to ask him a litany of sophomoric questions including the dreaded "What if you're wrong?"

I have nine dogs (mom, dad and their 7 pups, now 5 years old) & four cats. When the pups were young mom managed to lead them through a hole in the fence they'd made & off they went onto a cattle ranch.

They're Australian Blue Heeler/Border Collies.

See cow: make cow move.

You can imagine they thought themselves in heaven. Until the owner of the cattle took a shot at them, & managed to shoot off mom's front leg.

The pups ran home right away. Mom took hours to get home, her leg dangling by a piece of skin.

Were I the thing in the bible, I'd have just watched her bleed to death.

I scooped her up, put her in the car, drove like a maniac to the vet, & she is the sweetest most loving three-legged dog I know.

I look at her & I feel love & I feel guilt as she wouldn't be in this position if I'd done a better job building the fence.

How anyone can believe a god can feel less compassion for us than I feel for my dog, is beyond me.
