Why should i pay rent to a absentee landlord??

Question

I mean worship god? If he is obivosly not there.

Answer 1

Let me give you a little inside information about God. God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts. He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does He do, I swear for His own amusement, his own private, cosmic gag reel, He sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, don't swallow. Ahaha. And while you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' His sick, fu ck in' a off! He's a tight-as ! He's a SADIST! He's an absentee landlord! Worship that? NEVER!

Answer 2

Sad to find you believe this.
You may have forsaken Him,
but He will not forsake you.
Christ died once, for ALL.
So all will have the chance to accept or deny Him
Free choice, He can't command love.
Yes Virginia, there are some things God can not, and does not want to do. That includes xbox 360's.
Then again, He just might do that to prove to you that He exists.
Even though there is ample proof all around us.

Also, a comment to your "Read the Bible".

Do you really want to know,or are you self stroking, making yourself better than the well meaning people who honestly are trying to answer or help you.

Don't assume those who answered have no idea what you are talking about. I have read and studied gnostic works and the beliefs of Judaic and early Christian mystics. I am also aware of the councils of Nicea and Trent, the issues about Constantine, and what works were accepted in the library of Alexandria before it was destroyed.

I am also interested in science, and believe it proves many facets of religious beliefs. Quantum mechanics for example, has finally come up with the "String Theory" to explain that everything, all matter, is composed of these "strings" of vibrating energy. In my mind, this supports the biblical account of creation, that God "spoke" everything into existence, sound indeed being a vibrating energy. Science is man's way of understanding and studying the "nature" of the things of God. Even science is based upon assumption, believing the world was flat, etc. Einstein, Newton, and other great scientist eventually accepted the possiblilty that God exists.

Do not assume that those who are saying "read your bible" are using it as an excuse for not understanding what it is about. The lack of understanding may just be on your part.

Answer 3

did you know that many tenants do not pay rent thinking the landlord is not there? when they find out that he is indeed there, they pay a heavy penalty. before you make the same mistake, why don't you inquire from more knowledgable tenants? it will save you alot.

Answer 4

God don't require rent. God's there. Are you saved? If God isn't answering your prayers its either you are not saved or he answers but you don't like the answer.

Answer 5

You don't, the house is free, the landlord dwells elsewhere.

Answer 6

Stop and rethink what you are saying?
Jesus says he will never leave us or forsake us!

well, maybe he promised the apostles and disciples only!
and maybe it only applies to those that have not forsaken him, too.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Why should a landlord be present if you are not paying him?

Answer 9

you shouldn't. I'm not going to visit an abandoned building anytime soon myself.
