There is a book I really like. It is the number one seller of ALL time.
I had radio once that had a lot of cool features. The more I READ the manual, the more I learned what it was capable of doing. I read the INSTRUCTION manual... and found out what ALL it did.
Read the Bible...... It's life's instruction manual. :)
God loves u and KraMell does too... and I like weed :) What do u guys think about God, Friend or foe??

A lot of people could take offense at this...I am not one of them.
I was raised as a Christian, despite the fact that I never believed in it. My father was so obtuse in his thinking that he grounded me for a summer when I wanted to stop going to church...he thought I was lazy, when I had no faith or purpose to go to a place of worship.
Ya man, I totally understand. I was raised to believe "Go to church every Sunday, Don't cuss, Don't smoke, Don't drink.." on and on. Until one day, I decided if God was real, I had to know. I sought whole heartedly to find out, and because I KNOW HIM, I believe. Everyone should seek him, just once. I discoved God don't care what I do (Drink, Smoke ect..) He just wants something better for me :)

pce 'n' goood tokein'
i beleive in god, theres a passage in the bible that says everything used in moderation and theres a passage that means its our choice wat we put into our bodies, meaning god may not codone smokind and drinking but its our choice and we wont be condemmed for it, this is my personal beleif, and i also beleive god would rather we smoke pot than be stressed out or pissed off alot and its a natural plant not a manufactured thing like coke and acid and sh*t(altought i wanna try acid:)
It also says in the bible you should stone certain people to death for which we consider normal, also it states slavery is ok. I dont think "god" is ok with that personally. Also you wont find even one archeologist that has found more than cursory evidence for that which is stated in the bible ie: sodom and gomorrah's fall the "hebrew slaves who supposedly built the pyramids" apparently too many ancient documents which werent "interpreted" directly contradict the bible, so I'm totally against it. I'm along the lines of Nowhereman ill believe it when i see it. I find it strange "god" found it ok to use giant columns of flame to destroy an egyptian king who didnt even exist at the time they claim, yet he/she/it does nothing now in today's world? All it would take is one appearance and poof we'de behave or be "damned" for eternity. Plus to be honest one mans heaven is anothers hell has a good connotation for myself as I would prefer the biblical hell overr heaven, it seems more fun and its where every ancient philospher would be ie: socrates, plato etc all ancient polytheistic diety worshipping societies would be there as well and I have alot of questions for some Trojans and the "golden horde" (genghis khan and sons). and after all its hard to feel the "burning fire" if I have no nerve endings isnt it?
Does God even understand human american cultural conceptions like left and right wing??? lol....
We're all human and we all fuck up, even our parents, our most respected citizens, our presidents. In fact, the most successful people are successful because they make the most mistakes and they allow themselves to do so.
I doubt God is sitting up there criticizing every person on earth and pointing fingers b/c you love/hate gay people or because you make a lot of money or because you are a communist. lol, God gets dragged into every tiny dispute. It's like 'if you don't listen to me, I'll tell you that God will hate you for doing what in actuality, *I* don't want you to do.' This is the crazy world we live in, where priests molest children and 'good godfearing people' are gun crazy military fanatics.
To find answers, you need to find an objective plane to think on. Don't bother with the institutions, they'll only confuse you and they like to exert authority. The great director Terry Gilliam once said that 'all authority should be undermined'. Its a personal thing, and u know, when you find your happiness, you'll feel like this is what is meant for you, and that is God saying 'hey buddy I'm on your side'.
Forgive my ranting, but I'm just enthusiastic about people believing in something. Even if its just the natural balance of the universe. Even if its the tree in your back yard. Believe in something greater, visualize it, and you will become greater. There is no doubt about it. Focus on the shit in the world, and forget about the good things, and it will kill you no doubt.
I know God as well, and u know, I only take the things from the Bible that speak to me, that ring true...Victors write the history, guys. The Roman Catholic church had a hold of that shit forever, u think they're just going to leave it alone? Or you think they might tweak it a little if it gives them more power and more money in their collection basket? What do you think?
Personally, I'm not a hairshirt fan lol
I read that book cover to cover.
Theres some good life lessons in it and some crazy shit about many headed monsters from hell.
But you can pretty much find a passage to back any old thing up.
Let me ask you this- if we had proof of God, then everyone would be [/B]afraid[B]. Would that not eliminate free choice in your mind? And if we do believe in God, as humans we believe ourselves to be complicated beings, would'nt we believe him to be superior to us? Would'nt that mean we simply would know he would desire our love and not demand it? There would be no reward in that for him, no? The world is the way it is because of our choices everyday, people run the world, not God.
