If you were god...

People are always saying what they believe is wrong with God, so, I thought it would be interesting to hear what you believe that God ought to be like???

What would the god of your choice, be like, and please put a little thought into your answer......

if you don't mind. As you seem to seriously make waves over what you dislike in the real one.

the god I would choose is the one we have right now god didnt promise joy without sorrow, laughter without tears, happieness without anger and I cant remeber the rest of the saying

Okay, well... I don't think anything is wrong with God. The reason the world is what it is today is because of Adam and Eve. They were the ones who chose to do wrong. And if it wasn't going to be them, then some other human would've. So he decided to punish them and the world they live in, which includes us today. We don't live in a very good world now, If it wasn't for the sins of Adam and Eve, we would all live in peace, and a happy world.

I find the idea of a god outdated, just like the idea of a king. I'd prefer a more representative form of the supernatural.

And todaly... exactly what would that be??? a more representative form...

of the supernatural???

I would have to say that if I were God I would think its important to have a prophet in all of our generations. Reason being I believe that there are very few people who realize that somtimes the sin of man can bring the glory of God. For example the story of Joseph. In the bible all of those who were used to glorify God with the exception of one were by todays standards wicked people. Many of them were opportunist with no respect for others property or life. What does this prove about God, well the first thing is tha the is a loving God and the second he is not afraid of a challenge. But the bible says we will soon have two witnesses who can not be silenced so I guess I need patience.

more equality

I like the universe the way it is: Without one. Let us sort out our own affairs, without any sort of divine intervention.

A representative supernatural would be one in which we elect the demigods who represent us. That way, we can fire them if they fail to do a good job.

One that isn't hypocritical, Dosen't want to be worshiped, he/she would be a balence of all things, one that guided each person down their own personal path without shoving them down one that dosen't fit. One that dose not descrimnate aginst anyone by any criteria. One that lets him/her self be known without a dout. one that would share all knowledge with us.

How could those who don't believe in god think there is some wrong with him. That is like saying there is something wrong with the tooth fairy, or the easter bunny.

If there were a god, I like Jesters description. But that is just a fantasy...

Toadaly... Ever the libertarian... lol

ah but jester, if we had all knowledge, what would be the point of God then?
that's actually an interesting notion...

Hmm I like the idea of God who is non interfering...

and silverwings... people arent complaining about God... just certain ideas people have about God... they may disagree with what you choose to describe God as...

SO THE POINT OF gOD IS TO KNOW MORE THAN US?
if thats is screw it

It's interesting to hear what humans would do as God...some want to elect god...then there's the indivual guidance plan...like counseling...the assumptions the he/she WANTS to be worshiped...

Somehow, I think if there is a God, he/she/it doesn't take much notice of the daily petty doings of mankind...Human comprehension tends to be limited, and leans towards individual self-centeredness.

p

ty... you could have fooled me...

jester... ok, so you want a god that knows less than you do, right?

And phrannie.. you are confused as to whether God is a she/he or an it, right??

and Ty... you might believe in a god, but, you do not want to believe in the God that the Christians believe in, right??

jmahl... that is what I keep hearing...

jester, so you believe that God is hypocritical, and undeserving of worship, and he discriminates.

and toadaly you want a god that you can hire and fire at will, right?

Interesting...

Wonder why noone wants one made of gold or bronze ???

or a fire god, now, that would be something, wouldn't it ???

Let see, they worship cows in India, and some worship trees, and nature...

hmmm...

But the real God, you have a problem with...

Amazing indeed...

thank you for being honest...

I dont WANT to believe in a christian God? that's like saying I dont WANT to believe in santa claus... it's not about wanting... it is simply the way it is...

your idea of a real God silverwings... doesnt make it any more real than any other idea...

so yes, people may have an issue with how your perceive things to be... does not mean they have an issue with God... just your God...

again... you seem to have a problem distinguishing between reality and perception... you cannot prove God is what you think God is... you can simply claim to know the truth... and that is what people have a problem with... your perception...

***Wonder why noone wants one made of gold or bronze ??? or a fire god, now, that would be something, wouldn't it ???***

...BORING. Try using your imagination for once.

***Let see, they worship cows in India, and some worship trees, and nature...***

Yeah... they do... and they aren't dicks about it either --OH THAT'S WHY WE'RE OKAY WITH IT...

***But the real God, you have a problem with...***

Nope... I have a problem with YOU desecrating the very concept... but still you continue to hide behind that big imaginary ankle of his, as if he's speaking through you. Well he's not... you would NEVER qualify. Just for a sense of scale; God would speak through ME, long before he'd EVER considering using you. Maybe that will give you an idea of just how deluded you are...

My life is all the proof, that I need

NOthing could have changed me from who I was, to who I am now...

but, the REAL THING...

and that is the God of the Holy Bible.

The God of Abraham, Issac Jacob...

The GREAT I AM... that is written about...

That is spoken about... .

that is revered and worshiped... by Christians, all over the world.

He is the Alpha Omega, the beginning and the End...

The Everlasting Father,

The Rose of Sharon...

The Prince of Peace...

Jehovah...

El Shaddiah...

I will shout his praises, as long as he gives me breath in my body. I will love him and serve him, I will gladly bow down to him, I will exalt him, I will glorify him, I will magnify him, with every fiber of my being... his presence in my life is what I live for, he give me strength, when I am weary, he comforts me, when I am in need, he fills me to overflowing with his spirit. NOthing...nor NOone... could ever persuade me differently... and I pray that one day, you may truly know him too

I'm slipping out of my faith. for my life has not been happy, miraculous, or anything good. all around me I see pain and suffering, so why should I believe in a so-called god? they say he loves us. I'm sorry, but that's just HARD for me to believe. once people start to have abetter life, and they are not suffering, THEN I'll believe it. for now, if he does exist (Doubt it with all my heart at this moment), there wouldn't be suffering.

***NOthing...nor NOone... could ever persuade me differently...***

Nobody is trying to 'persuade you' of anything... you are fanatical... beyond help. My main purpose in responding to your insanity, is to make others aware of it...

Simply put, anytime you say something fanatical, psychotic, condemning, or anything similar... I will continue to point it out, and shut you down, just like I always do. Of course, in your tiny little world, you like to label me anti-religion, anti-christian, anti-god, etc. Well you're wrong. There are many believers (on this site, and close personal friends) that I can talk to amicably about God Christianity. I am in contact with some highly-educated Christians (PhDs, Masters, etc.) that I regularly talk to, exchange ideas, and learn from. Their LIFE WORK involves studying scripture, and very concept of God. I present information I gather, in the SAME way I received it. Not to crush anyone's faith... but to make people THINK. If you REFUSE to think, then you aren't listening...

You don't listen... then you don't learn...
You don't learn... then you don't grow...
You don't grow... then... you don't matter...

It doesn't matter how many people claim to be of some Christian denomination... YOU'RE abominable views are dying off from society. And there's nothing you can do about it. You can't stop people from thinking, learning, and growing. You can't use God to intimidate people, because YOUR version of God is a LIE. You can't condemn people for not believing you, because your version of HELL doesn't exist.

We are strong in the REAL Lord and the power of his might. Crooked Banshee be gone.

***so why should I believe in a so-called god? they say he loves us. I'm sorry, but that's just HARD for me to believe. once people start to have abetter life, and they are not suffering, THEN I'll believe it.***

According to silverwings testimony... you have to be mentally unstable... gullible... oppressed... unimaginative... and dim-witted...

one day every tongue will confess you are god, one day every knee will bow, still the greatest treasure remains for those who gladly choose you now... (wish you could hear me singing, although its better that you cant or else your eardrums may burst) Silverwings one day...
