gives you the option to become positive...
however if you look in the bible you will find that the biblical god uses mostly negative options to control his 'believers'... makes me wonder why someone would believe in an obviously 'greatest story ever told' (story... i.e fabrication)

I won't argue your position of the "greatest story ever told." It would be a waste of time. You believe what you believe, and I believe what I believe.
With regard with the negativity shown in the Old Testament within the Bible. I just have to say that people need to know how to read the Bible. It can't be read literally.
Furthermore, if at some points there are negativity with regard God's actions, we need to read it contextually. why such thing happened? and not just read that happened, and say: oh! what a terrible God is that.
My personal view is that the New Testament presents the real God to its fullest, and the Old Testament since it was written for a different audience shows an incomplete view of God.
That is why some theologians say that the only way to understand the Old Testament is under the light of the New Testament.

Although, throwing lightning bolts sounds like fun. Maybe I'd throw a ligtning bolt throwing party and give everyone lightning bolts as party favors to throw around.

TLW I am begining to suspect(after much carefull study) that NOT A SINGLE book that is claimed by man to be a book of god is true. What does god need with paprus and ink... The only time I have heard of that god actually wrote of something he did it in stone. (mentioned of course in a thing written by the tools of man and therefore suspect)

You know god better that any book could impart knowledge... Trust that knowing...

I partially agree with you.

First off: If I were God I wouldn't have created a dog-eat-dog world. I would have made a very precise and clear distinction between plants and animals and I'd make all animals be vegetarians. In fact, I'd make it impossible to eat meat. Trying to eat meat would be like trying to eat a piece of rubber, it would be impossible to chew, it would taste terrible, and it wouldn't do you any good even if you managed to get it in your stomach.

Eating flesh just wouldn't be an option in any universe I might create.

So to ask me how I would "Lord over" this universe is redundant because I didn't create this universe so to Lord over it would be to Lord over someone else's mistakes.

Second BIG thing: If I were God and I didn't want people to be having sex outside of serious loving and caring relationship, then I would tie their desires for sex in directly with their desire of love.

Why not? People might say that this would be interfering with their 'free will' but I say hogwash. A God who created us to be sexually excited every time we see the opposite sex has already screwed with our 'free will'.

Clearly this is an innate human instinct, it's not a 'free will' choice of individuals it's the way our creator made us. To then go on to proclaim that is it sin to be the way we were naturally created is utterly ludicrous.

So if God doesn't want people to be sexually attracted to other people unless they are attracted to them with compassionate love, then why not design those innate desires to be tied in with each other?

You can't make men become thirsty and then blame them for wanting to get a drink of water. Yet this is precisely what a God who makes sex taboo has done to us.

Also, if I were going to inspire a book on my behave, I'd lay all the cards on the table. If life is a test to get into some Heaven I'd just say it outright. I'd explain what the game is and how it's played. I wouldn't even talk in terms of wanting to be worshiped or love. It wouldn't make it about me (the God). I would simply make it about man. If you want to get into heaven this is what you do, otherwise you just perish. Your choice, and if you choose to just perish, then fine, that's your choice and no one should get on your case about it.

Finally: If I was going to make a law that "The Wages of Sin is Death". I'd make it instantaneous. I would also only define sin to be serious offenses and it certainly wouldn't be a sin to do something as harmless as masturbate, for example.

Almost all 'sin' in my world would have to do with harming or interfering negatively with the lives of others. If the "Wages of Sin is Death", then I would build it right in to the universe. If someone thinks about killing someone else and begins to make serious plans and begins to take serious actions to carry out that plan they'd be stricken down with a heart attack. Before they even carried the plan out.

I would be a God who nips things in the bud as much as possible. I would never have to drown out my whole creation because I would never allow things to get that far out of hand.

As a last comment, I'm not sure that I'd play hide and seek either. I see no reason not to truly be a fatherly imagine and participate in their mentorship.

After all, why am I growing these pets for in the first place?

Are they going to grow up to be Gods like me and go on to raise their own universe of children?

Is that what it truly is about? Am I just raising baby gods?

I'm not sure that I'd even be interested in bothering with it at all if I was just raising these people to serve as my own personal servants to do my will. I have no ambition to be the King of Kings and Lord of Lords to rule over a bunch of people who are bowing down and worshiping me.

I just wouldn't even bother creating them for that purpose in first place.

If I'm God and I can do anything I want, I think I'd rather create a single partner who is more compatible with my own nature. Then we could do things together and live happily ever after. flowerforyou

If we did decide to raise little humans as pets, I'm sure we'd try to do is as 'humanely' as possible. And as I've said above, I'd start off with a whole different approach. I wouldn't start off with a dog-eat-dog world, and I wouldn't make people naturally horny and then blame them for being that way.

What will you do when you discover that Jesus Christ spoke the truth when he said, "Ye are also gods."?

What will you do when you discover that God wants you to grow up to become a God in your own right?

What will you do then Feral?

You'll be forced to answer these questions lest you fail your own God. huh

They are legitimate questions that God himself may be asking you some day to see if you are ready to go out on your own as a God in your own right, or whether you will forever be dependent on him and be unable to grow to full maturity on your own.


~ Butt Prints in the Sand ~

One night I had a wondrous dream,
One set of footprints there was seen,
The footprints of my precious Lord,
But mine were not along the shore.
But then some stranger prints appeared,
And I asked the Lord, "What have we here?"
Those prints are large and round and neat,
"but Lord, they are too big for feet!"
"My child," He said in somber tones,
"For miles I carried you along.
I challenged you to walk in faith,
But you refused and made me wait.
You disobeyed, you would not grow,
The walk of faith, you would not know,
So I got tired, I got fed up,
And there I dropped you on your butt.
"Because in life, there comes a time,
When one must fight, and one must climb,
When one must rise and take a stand,
...or leave their butt prints in the sand".
