I don't fall into any religion, but I have a good life. i am surrounded by good people, I have food, shelter, running water. i am loved, and can love. All this despite the fact I denounce all religions, I mock all versions of God (except my own) and nothing bad really happens to me. Sure I've had my heart broken, the Canucks didn't make the playoffs last year, I work at jobs I hate, but on a scale of 1-10 my life is a 9. Why? Oh wait nevermind I figured it out, becuase i stay positive, not because a God lets me.

"why are you so hateful?"
I love all mankind, and hate ignorance.
"why are you so egotistical?"
If you knew me you'd know I am actually very humble.
"why are you so stuck on your self?"
I am all I know for one, I have to live with myself 24/7 and am the only constant in my life. Having said that, I focus greatly on others helping people every chance I get.
"just because you are making it here on earth... doesn't mean a hill of beans.
build your treasures here on earth, for once you die .. they die too... for you can't take the earthly treasures with you."
making it? i'm broke, i make less than 12 dollars an hour, and most of my money goes to food and bills, I'm living good not because of money, but in fact in spite of it.
Thanks for the ignorant comments though.

"God never said that we wouldn't be able to have a good life if we didn't follow him! how about you go read the bible before you make any more false claims about God "
Have you read the bible, cause I have and that's exactly what he said over and over.
10 The LORD's anger was aroused that day and he swore this oath: 11 'Because they have not followed me wholeheartedly, not one of the men twenty years old or more who came up out of Egypt will see the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
That's just one example of people who paid for not following God. NEXT!

"Who do you go to when you DO have a bad time with life?"
My friends, my parents, people who love me. How can talking to someone who never responds help me?

For all of you asking about the next life, shouldn't all good people have a good next life. is your God really that jealous that i could spend my whole life helping his creations only to spend eternity in "hell."
"I am curious as to what your "version" of God is and what you base it on. and you are not positive your question statement shows this."
My God is everything, everything with no conscious, but yet is all knowing. I'll admit you're right I'm not sure, because it is impossible to know for sure, but at least i can admit it.

Probably because Satan is using you as a tool or something.
Kind of like how Satan uses things like science, reason, and evidence as tools.
He's a tricky guy.

Your life is not finished yet.
Look at Rome. They were once the greatest nation of all and now they are one of the smallest countries.
God allowed them to grow and become bigger and bigger, thus, there fall was even greater.
You know, it doesn't really matter what you say. Many people like others to think they have it all together and don't need anyone, because they are great themselves. That is exactly why Satan who kicked out of heaven into a lake of fire and whre he will return when its all over with.
Satan was once the most beautiful angel of all and his arrogance caused him to fall. Your arrogance will give a Christian goosebumps because we know the end of your story unless there is someone to pray for you and God does a miracle in your life.
I would rather be miserable and living a life with Christ than to be happy living a life without Christ.
It doesn't matter what you believe are how strongly you mock God (wow, I get shivers when I re-read your note), God word says in Romans 14:11
11 For it is written:
“ As I live, says the LORD,
Every knee shall bow to Me,
And every tongue shall confess to God.”
So it really doesn't matter what you believe, well yes, it matters a great deal, but what I'm saying, you will believe in God one day and your tongue will confess, but on which side of your life will you do this, before death or after death? Either way you will bow. For your sake, I hope its before your last breath.
Remember there is only one truth, either I'm right or wrong.
If I'm wrong, I've lost not nothing. If I'm right, you've lost your soul to a lake of fire that has a supernatural fire that will burn greater than anything on earth and you will feel every bit of it for ever and ever.
No scare tactic - just simple truth.

Hi Friend
In the first century Christians were called 'The Way" because religion is more of a life style than all of this man-made junk we have today.If people were to eliminate all of their false doctrine and do the two greatest commandments that Jesus gave"Love God with your whole heart...........and love your brother as ourselves I think a lot of people would feel more like you do.
You probably had good upbringing and have a natural love in your heart.
The kind of people God is looking for to live in his new kingdom which will be on this planet shortly is people like you.If God was to take most people and put them in the Garden of Eden they would wind up turning this planet back to its current condition.
Jesus said that most people would take the wrong road.

Matthew 5:45 (New International Version)
45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
This means that God has been blessing you in hopes to bring you to him. I do not mind you reject religion, but rejecting God will have its own dire results.
Do not be too quick to mock others ideas of God read Psalm 1 it is the way to fall from grace and find yourself on the wrong side of judgment.
I am curious as to what your "version" of God is and what you base it on. and you are not positive your question statement shows this.

You just answered your own question:
Ive mocked all versions of God (except my own)
which means that you are true to God, and you are a positive man who doesnt hurt anyone , choses to give off positive energy instead of negativity and you receive much prayer from good people in the form of happiness...
happiness is a prayer too
when you make another human happy....their heart swells and God hears them say: thank you
Youre helping the world as you are. and thus you get rewarded for it.
But we dont live forever...and who knows what will happen to us when we die..we only pray and hope its a reflection of the goodness weve done here and a lot of mercy for the hurt weve caused ...even in the smallest amount.

Even if you had a "happy life," it's not going to last forever.
Have you thought about your salvation?
Or do you think you dont need that?
Dont let your pride get ahead of you on this one.
I just want you to think about this:
If you died today and found out that God was real and heaven and hell was real, would you still say that you don't need salvation?
God loves you so much--dont throw His love away when He gives it to you so freely.
The Roman soldiers didn't cause Jesus to die on the cross; we all put Him there. It was because of OUR sins, that He made that sacrifice.

This is true. I believe in God, but one must have faith.it says for us to have the faith of a mustard seed, does a seed have faith in God? no. it simply has faith. faith opens a person to positive forces.it doesn't matter if that person believes in God or anything really. just the act of faith does so very much.Your saying a big truth there by saying its great to be positive.I could write a book on the advantages of being positive and how it has changed my life so much for the better.at the same time I have seen a number of supernatural miracles that if I told you some of them you probably wouldn't believe me.Peace.

My friend, even the cattle in the fields grazing have a good life, the bubble bees, and butterflies have a good life, the Canadian Beaver and foxes of the forest have a good life, the cats and dogs at each home have a real good life. I guess they all stay positive..through, wind and rain, snow and sleet, sun and heat.. through drought and famine, they stay positive.. and not because God Lets them..

the devil only attacks God's followers... He's got you settled.
We've got the victory
Fact is, you can always rule your own life and make your own purpose for living... but on your scale there... God's way of doing things for you (if you follow him faithfully) is like 1,000,000 out of 10 :D
The creator of the universe (I have learned this) has a plan and purpose for me WAY better than what I can make myself happy with.
Who do you go to when you DO have a bad time with life?
Third day puts it in a good way in thier song, "Cry Out to Jesus"

because god leaves some unbelieving people live on earth a happy mortal life yet they will suffer eternally in hell if they really don't believe in him and good people who believe in god suffer whenever they do a mistake because god wants to spare them from suffering hell as god knows that they're way better than that
