  Your God asks for too much

  by Qcmbr in

  i was wondering (again) about what i got out of my deal with mormon god.

  the more i thought about it the more i realised that the xian god asks way too much and offers too little.. what does xg demand:.

  1 - obedience to changeable often arbitrary commandments normally with little clarification of when and when not to apply them.

  Oh you did? I didnt see who you had pointed your question to. Oops you didn't. I wrongly assumed it was a question opened to all. My bad. Ignore the above then. Had a really nice link to post related to your question but not going to now.

  so i'm sure some of you have seen this already...but read this crap that was sent to me this morning, while i was sleeping in.

  it was sent to me by an uber dub in my former congregation....i think it's a chain message:.

  if someone asks about your educational background, proclaim boldly that:.

  Funny, all over the above will only succeed in folks looking at one who dared to say those lines like this

  " The point is to use our power of observation but don't make too much out of or reject the obvious."

  LoL, point taken. In RL I tend not to jump to conclusions about folks I first meet. I never trust my first impression but often allow myself to get to know the person if I see something in them I like. I tend not to trust too many folks. I'm especially wary of ones who come on too strong. Where I have gotten in to trouble is ignoring my small voice that says somethings not quite right. I rejected the obvious. That's where the self kicking comes in. I should have known better.

  Actually floods myths are numerous. Doesn't mean these mythical floods all happened at the same time or were global.

  " Then what is the need for God, Christ, etc.?"

  Reminds me of something in 'Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy' concerning middlemen.

  " Is that what you two are suggesting?"

  I'm not suggesting anything, there is no "you two". I said I got a whiff. Not of racism but of an attitude that is on this board. That's what I meant.

  " Allow me to add:

  14. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, swims and flies like a duck, waddles like a duck, it is almost certainly a duck."

  Which sounds similar to if someone tells you who they are believe them. Recently I have found I didn't have my listening cap on and my reading glasses were foggy. Been trying not to kick myself. I'm better now.
