JJ are you drinking again? Its okay if you are, but I prefer to talk with you when you make sense to me. And there is a video I would like to watch so if you're drinking I'd prefer to just talk later.

It's in the past stunned, and I don't need to think of him roasting in hell because Jesus says so.

Actually, He doesn't want you to think of the man roasting in hell. He wants you to do something much more difficult than that.

Joyce Meyers has her place...
I am not a fan, but I know people who like her
Joyce Meyer is what she is, could that be due to her father molesting her? Is she a Christian simply because of that one critical event.

Oh boy, the thing's I think.

I know who God is. He is a man who lives in a room in a back Packers, who waits for the opportunity to advise those who are looking for a better way to learn.

I think God is more like a man who walks around until he finds an animal with its paw snapped shut in a trap. He makes a move toward freeing the hurt animal but when it snarls and snaps at him, he sits down and waits until it wears itself out trying to escape. Then when it's laying there too exhausted to care to ward off anyone trying to touch it, he depresses the trap and bandages its foot.

What if God was one of us, just a slob like one of us...

It would be awful. God just like one of us? Broken, conflicted, angry at the drop of a hat, selfish, petty, always looking to get even, an emotional wreck, not able to ever forgive...it would be awful.

When I realized it was all just smoke and mirrors, I thought, if this is all there is, and I've seen the sheer vanity and illusion of it all, then people who kill themselves are the smartest among us.

I began looking to science and to different theories and also to different philosophers, tried nihilism for like a day, realized there was no help there - I just floundered around looking for anything to prod me out of my lethargy.

Then I was watching a show on the History channel about Nostradamus and...well, won't bore you, but the rest of the day turned magical.

But hey, you're way more ahead than a lot of people. They haven't even got to the step of seeing its all an illusion.
