and live through his rules just to find meaning in your own life? Doesn't it sicken you to be a clone of religion, a follower, a person with no thoughts of their own, only the thoughts that have been told to you? Are you not just a pawn, a sheep being led to the slaughter, a sinner in angels costume, looking for a meaning because life is to hard for you without the prospect of a greater being? It is sad, isn't it, that you must live a life through someone else, and not yourself?

Actually I believe we are all gods living in human bodies saying that we are not. If only we all knew this and live it.

I have a question for you, are you a real believer?
To people who have opened themselves to God, he is not as you say "unseen". God shows himself in many ways, also he is not leading us to be slaughtered, and a sinner in an angel's costume? Please, God is trying to save our souls and yet you make jokes.
No one man is perfect and there is no easy way to live life, there is always something that is trying to bring us down. God is the only way to survive and prosper. To some christians it may seem like we're pawns on a chessboard, but for some people it is easier to look at the whole picture if there is another person there going through what they are going through.
Each individual has their own thoughts, if you truley live for God than your thoughts are what you can do to help others that don't know the meaning of being saved.
God is the light and the air, He is everything, because I know this I am comfortable with the experiences that I share with God. You make yourself known to Him and He will make Himself known to you.

Sometimes I do wonder if perhaps believing in God, or anything, is pointless because the thing that always gets to me is what if it's all fake, if we as humans have created like you said, just some way to deal with our lives, and find some meaning out of nothing. But even if in the end we learn it's not real, at least I know that I lived my life, to the best of my ability and was able to make it through all my trials and tribulations b/c even when I couldn't believe in myself, I believed in God, or at least something else that believed in me. So in that case, it doesn't hurt. Then again, you hear all over the world, the devil's greatest trick was convincing people he doesn't exist...well I'm not convinced. I believe the devil is just as real and prevalent as God, but it doesn't destroy me.
Then I wonder if what I believe is completely wrong and I'm just setting myself up for hell, but that's just too difficult, so I just make the choice to believe even though my actions and language doesn't always reflect my belief.

You sure seem to have a problem with God. You sound like a child who has had his feelings hurt, and must now make someone pay for it. Doesn't it make you feel horrible that you believe in nothing? That you have faith in nothing? That your life is meaningless in yourself?Jesus died for you. I know, you could care less, you do not believe, but that is irrelevant. God believes in you. Jesus loves you. He only asks that you love Him back. Is that too much for you? Does love mean so little to you? I feel sorry for anyone close to you, to care for someone like you, who has no faith in anything but yourself. How sad you are. How I pity you. You are empty. God have mercy on you. I'll pray for you, even though it will mean nothing to you. Peace be with you, if that is possible.

I walk by faith and not by sight. It's much better than seeing, it's knowing! My God in heaven doesn't have to be seen to be real to me. I will pray for you that somehow someway you shall be shown the truth. Don't you want to be sure about what you say? What if your life ended tomorrow? Are you going to tell me that if you knew you were dying you wouldn't say a little prayer just in case?

What is your god?
Drugs?
Peer pressure?
Media pressure?
Advertizing?
Political correctness?
Teachers?
TV?
Negativity?
Antidisestablishmentism?
Putting down other people who believe different things?
It is alot easier to tear others down than build others up.
That is the Satan spirit vs the Holy Spirit.
The Satan spirit tears down, puts down, accuses, tears down, frustrates others' efforts, gives them low self-esteem.
The Holy Spirit builds up. Makes whole. Forgives. Gives grace, even when others do wrong. Ministers good. Encourages good behavior, treating others as you would be treated. Teaches. Makes a basis for the fabric of society.
Christians live their own lives! However, they choose to make different choices!

No. I am myself, I'm happy, I have my own thoughts and I don't follow people, but I also believe in God. Isn't it sad that you can't even follow what created you, and show God appreciation for everything he has done for you?

Not at all.
While God the Father is unseen and I gladly worship Him it is also true that Satan the God of this world is unseen and as Bob Dylan sang "You're gonna have to serve somebody" "It may be the devil or it may be the Lord, but you're going to have to serve somebody."

UHHHH, NO!!!! It's a choice I make. No one forces me to believe anything. That's the beauty of it. God doesn't FORCE anyone to do anything. He gave us all a free will and the ability to make choices. Those who choose not to follow Him are exercising their free will equally as much as those who do follow Him.
