and when i die, i hope i get the chance to tell him/them that.. there was a great song in the late 80's early 90's by depeche mode called blasphemous rumours(spelling ?

) "i don't want to start any blasphemous rumours, but i think that god has a sick sense of humour, and when i die i expect to find him laughing.".

Do you believe in God or Jesus ???

by run dont walk in

personally, i could care less about god and/or jesus, have no use for either of them, very disappointed in how they run things.

not really, no. to me god of the old testement is a bit of a twisted psycho, jesus is a token gesture. there's more to it than that, but no i don't really believe in them... 'believe in', meaning that i do not know if they really exist, and if they do, i do not have any faith in them doing what they say or that they are who they say they are or any of it.

i do think there is something else going on, but i do not think any of the beings mentioned in the bible or any holy book are the almighty, if there is such a thing.

this song says it all...

Bob Dylan - Positively 4th Street

You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning

You got a lotta nerve
To say you gota helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that?s winning

You say I let you down
You know it?s not like that
If you?re so hurt
Why then don?t you show it

You say you lost your faith
But that?s not where it?s at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it

I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You?re in with

Do you take me for such a fool
To think I?d make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he don?t know to begin with

You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, how are you? good luck
But you don?t mean it

When you know as well as me
You?d rather see me paralyzed
Why don?t you just come out once
And scream it

No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps I?d rob them

And now I know you?re dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Don?t you understand
It?s not my problem

I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You?d know what a drag it is
To see you

Is God Happy?

by dh in

jw
friends

maybe he/she/it isn't happy now, but can you visualise a happy god?

is the god in your belief or faith system capable of happiness?

is it emotional?

dh

What do you think? Maybe He/She/It isn't happy now, but can you visualise a happy God? Is the God in your belief or faith system capable of happiness? Is it emotional? Is it possible for an almighty being to have a capacity for emotion while maintaining absolute control over itself?

There are a lot of ways to expand on this question... anyone got any thoughts?

so, how many of you got presents all year round?

most worldly kids get 2 days of presents a year, birthdays and christmas.

some even get something on easter, valentine's day, and st. patrick's day!

i remember telling other kids that i got presents all year round, knowing full well it was a lie. i never really got many presents at all, the ones i can remember i can count on one hand.

belief in angels & demons, the same as extraterrestrials?

.

are angels/demons/god in fact aliens?

i know that word 'alienz' will put a lot of people off, but really, are extraterrestrials the same thing as the beings in the bible, and is it just a choice in terminology of which words we are more comfortable with using, if you think they are not the same thing, why do you think this?.

hehe, that was about right shera, something went badly wrong when i was writing that post and i had to recover my computer back a few days, i forgot about this topic until i just saw it again today!

thanks everyone for replying, it is encouraging to read that you all agree with me, and that angels & demons ARE in fact aliens!
