This is something that has always bothered me. I am without your God, and yet I know more than fear. I won't sit here and say that I've never felt fear, because I have just like anyone else. But the majority of my time has been spent with other feelings (a good bit of that being lust, but hey...). It's another one of those "Without god nothing you do is good and right" arguments from back in the day.

Red God, hi

I see what you are saying. However when it comes to the big crunch and you are without God you will know the true meaning of fear. Some people reckon that even with God nothing you do is good and right. Crazy. But the thing is, RG, is that if you don't check God out at some stage of your life then God won't check you out .

I'm not saying that you can't move in a positive direction with this experience, but I am saying it is based off of a messed up western concept of God. God would never refer to you as an ant, you are made in his image, you are an icon of God. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I am very suspicious of the nature of this revelation.

That was *not* God.

I think it is maybe a sort of internal identity struggle manifesting itself in a familiar term which looks like God.

jmdewey,

You are free to say what you like but nothing you say will change the facts. You can't be seen to give me any credit because my experience with God doesn't fit into your idea of what is possible. All you can do is insault me. I have spoken the truth and you call me a liar. Well I call you a fool. An ignorant strutting fool.

Kallisti,

Ditto, as above.

I'm not denying anything you say. I'm not even addressing anything you said, directly.
I was just agreeing with something Kalista said earlier, and giving my opinion of what it may be, if not God.
If you think you have a particular experience and tell someone else about it, if you were mistaken, that does not make you a liar, because you believe what you are saying.
And this is not your thread. I suggest you take your posts so-far, and make a big post out of them to start your own thread, then you can go ahead and criticize those who come on your thread to show their disbelief or whatever you want to label their behaviour towards you as.

You make no sense, if this is not my thread then whose do you think it is? Everything you say confirms my initial impression that I am looking at a fool. I don't think I had a particular experience, I know damn well I did and I am certainly not mistaken. And its not about what I believe, its about what I know for a fact. But I doubt if you could recognise a fact if one bit you.

Ok you are right.
I just checked and it seems you did start the thread.
I thought someone else did, and I started reading at a point after the first post.
Alright then never mind and good luck and all that.

You should be banned.

Zamini,
In virtually every post to my threads you have openly insulted me. You appear to have developed a completely irrational dislike towards me simply on the basis of what I write. Or do you think that you know who I am in person? Have you got me mixed up with someone from your past who hurt you? I only wonder because your intense adverse reaction to everything I write must stem from somewhere, surely.
I want to make it clear that I have no idea who you are. Furthermore I have done nothing that would cause any reasonably balanced person to take offence towards me as you appear to have done. I have reason to suspect that you have gone to lengths to malign me behind my back, its not enough that you attack my threads you run me down to others.
