Sure, lakini even you'll have to admit that you're in the minority. You've mentioned that you do some missionary work. Based on that experience, please tell me which venue would yield you more converts, a death row of a jail ama an ICU unit full of AIDS victims - or the flashiest most happening night club in Miami. Of course the death row and the ICU unit. Chaps who are bling blinging and about to walk into a club full of beautiful women and alcohol won't really want to hear about god. Of course if things go thick and the guy is in a nasty car wreck on the way home, you can bet he'll be looking for a chaplain to save him. Which means that most chaps get saved coz, like I mentioned, their sh*t is extremely thick.

I don't believe in ANY god. It doesn't matter if it's the Hindu, Christian, Muslim, Jewish or Pokot god. I think it's all a bunch of baloney. Man made god in his own image (which is why the Jewish god looks like a Jew, the Hindu god looks like a Hindu, etc) to satisfy a craving, an emptyness. Same way man invented marriage to satisfy that craving of companionship.

But, like I always tell you, even if I did believe that the Christian god existed, there's no way that I'd worship him because, according to the Bible, he's a sadistic killer and a genocidal maniac. He punishes innocent people for the sin of others and he willingly partook in the gruesome murder of his own son. Man, he even goes even as far as killing innocent kids and accepts innocent kids as human sacrifices! Plus, he's the one who made the devil - Satan - even though he knew from before he made the devil that the devil would cause all sorts of misery to mankind.

TM, you justify to me why I should worship such a god - and why you totally ignore all those things when you worship him.
