Who cares: are you trying to tell me that it is Krishna, Allah, Thor or Santa Clause who is great?

My_tyms_up makes what I think is a very true statement in the way belivers see things: Don't question; just believe first and then you will believe.

god is not what folks think god is, in this reality the word god is just part of this reality. The use of the word was placed in the minds of humans by those who genetically altered the humanoid of old to become slaves after finding this planet. They used them just as humans use other animals to do their bidding, but more in a sophisticated way of course. They trick the sheeple into believing that they are gods (while now working behind the scenes) in order to control and manipulate. Life is only a game for spirits to challenge themselves and learn from. The biggest hurdle is to overcome the idea of having a god (in my opinion). The trueself is eternal, but choosing to play this game on earth means memories of true self had to be blocked and immortality is no more. The goal is to remember who you truly are through all of the false realities created by the sudo gods after chosing to be born into the temporary prison called a body you have to work with. No matter the race, color, gender etc.. each situation presents it's own unique challenge.
You are not a human being in search of a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being immersed in a human experience.

Without God, nothing exists. He is the beginning and the end. If He were to remove His breath (or Spirit), all creation would end. Since He is the only uncreated entity in existence, He would be the only entity left. He has always been and is without end. His greatness precludes all created existence, (which means you and me and anything we in our human finiteness could possibly conceive of) but He cannot be greater than himself. Of course, you would have to not be a "skeptic" to understand what I'm talking about. You cannot understand the things of God without first accepting the truth about who His Son is and why He came.
Without that you will always remain in the dark.

To acknowledge greatness one must acknowledge existence regardless of what topic of which you speak. That is nothing can be great without first BEING.
I have no reference to Krishna, Santa Claus is not great for he does not exist. Allah is the God of Abraham as my God is therefore I view them as the same and Thor does not exist and is not great.

I don't believe in a god or ruling entity so i guess no
plus through existence we have gained knowledge AND WITH THAT KNOWLEDGE WE KNOW THAT WE ARE SO SMALL AND PRECIOUS, so rare, we live on this tiny blue jewel in the midst of this great big ever expanding universe. it shows us how through all this space the only thing we can grab onto are each other
P.S. sry for the CAPS it was a mistake

God is not constricted by time or space nor is he confined by the laws of physics. He is existent on levels man can not comprehend.
