Please, take time and think about this.. Do not answer on a gut feeling but take some time into thinking about this.. Put yourself in our shoes.

I have taken years to think about why you believe in God, and still take honest consideration in it. So, I ask you to try to do the same for a few minutes.

Fall is in the Air

Air filled with the splendid colors of leafs that gave me the pleasure of their last memories

Memories of my childhood jumping into leafs that had changed from green to the colors of the rainbow

Rainbow pile of leafs a reflection of who I am now

Now I remember compassion of song

Singing in my fathers church choir

Choir where my friends and I laughed and teased each other before walking up the stairs where we would perform

Performing expressions of what we were taught while expressing myself with my own interpretation of love and music

Music that filled my soul with purpose and being

Being me different but without peace

Peace that is indifferent with childhood memories

Memories that bring back thoughts of apple bobbing

Bobbing for apples that fell from my grandfathers orchard trees

Trees where me and my brother climbed

Climbed up a rock hill where I fell while laughing at my brother's laughter

Laughter that paused for a short time when he passed

Passed to a better place a place where heaven is always fall

Fall my heart went when my grandmother passed

Passed was the blackberry cobbler's she would no longer serve

Served my grandfather a plate of BBQ a few months before he passed

Passing barbecue ribs and pictures of my pets while he sat in slumber not knowing first who I was but shared a story of his admiration of his brother that planted tomato plants where the rain water fell from the house gutters

Gutters not too far from where my great uncle hung himself a few years after his wife passed

Passed family members like the falling leafs of fall

Fall to me is a remembrance of the past

Past me a child remembering my grandfather’s wise words "be a peace maker" and "get a job in a office" words that I followed

Following him in his footsteps he was a WW2 vet and I took an office job in the Marines

Marines where I discovered myself a gay man with a purpose in life

Life me a person that has a love for the passing of one season to another

Another season approaches but I want to stay here in fall

Fall where the air is cool and crisp where my memories are clear

Clear is my love of fall

Fall gives reflection of my childhood

Childhood filled with bad and good

Good thanksgiving dinners where my family appeared happy and cheerful

Cheerful despite the the pain and suffering we experienced being poor

Poor wearing bread sacks over my shoes to protect my feet from the snow

Snow that made my walk to the barn difficult but the beauty of the snow was so overwhelming that my feet felt warm

Soul my mother's love that is unconditional though she lost the love of my father

Father that chose pride and greed over a his own family

Family that persevered through hardship

Hardship a memory still felt but is blinded by my love of fall and my memories of happiness

Happiness me a person that loves fall

Fall a passage from old to new

New me a new beginning.

are Atheists wrong for questioning your beliefs? Please explain why.. Can you see where you question other beliefs when you feel they are wrong?

This is not a question of if your God exists or not, if you think so please read the question again.

Since most people believe that God is everywhere and everything and has no body, what the hell does this mean about us being created within his own image, I thought the dude was a ghost?

Jewish Ruling concerning Christianity :

"...according to the known Jewish ruling that Christians are IDOL worshippers." (Likkutei Sichos 37:198)


http://www.noahide.com/infiltration/xmas.htm

------------------

Jewish Ruling concerning Islam :

[36] Maimonides, Responsa, 448

The Muslims [Ishmaelim] are not in any way idolators. [Idolatry] has already been removed from their mouths and their hearts, and they unify G-d in the appropriate manner without any admixture [of idolatrous beliefs].

So does that mean you believe he is omnipotent, omniscient, & omnipresent(in spirit or flesh?)

Also, can you state anything in the bible that is related to God being once a MAN?

Would you agree that multiculturalism is destroying aspects of American culture?
