You guys who follow your feelings wonder why you are always failing..
You lack faith... Not just faith in God or Jesus or some other disciple (whoever) none meet the level of Jesus.. For he was the only who rezzed. All the rest lay in their graves to this day.

If you believe god was created to keep people in line...
Think of todays beliefs, there has now been a religion to cause chaos..
People are now using religion as an excuse to do things outside man law.

Believe what you want. But I feel sorry for you..

3 People were at the edge of a cliff. Looking over the land.. Feeling got too close to the edge, being the emotional one and fell off the cliff.. Faith looked over the edge to see if he could save Feeling and fell off himself... Fact, knowing the truth, quickly threw his hand out and saved Faith.. and along with Faith, came Feeling...

Don't trust your feelings.. They come and go, your Mind controls your feelings. We're habitual emotional beings. So its your habit to decline the fact that Jesus existed and the Lord God created all you see and do. He loves you even though you do not believe in him. He knew you would. But it saddens him that he's provided all these treats and perks and you push it aside for your material and superficial things and distractions..

Would you eat junk food before your mother cooked you dinner??
Why would you push your Fathers plate away from you after he provided for you??

Yes these are my beliefs, but I'm a logical thinker as well. Since you guys say this is about 2000 years old. How else are we to know Jesus than to read his book. The book his disciples wrote after he taught them how to pray, how to love, how to accept the lord in his life, AND he gives himself to cleanse us of our sins that we have and will do.. The lord knows we'll slip, but looks upon us as if we've never sinned.

You may believe yourself today.. And believe God tommarrow.. Keep an open mind sir..
I hope you do not believe in a christian god.
Because if you do, let me give you advice: don't.
Believe in the words of Jesus, for he is not related to this so called god.
He is like Buddha - a spiritual man. And by saying that he is god you are insulting Jesus himself.
It is fine to base your life on the words of jesus, for what he said was true. But basing your life on a fictional idea only spawns ignorcance.
And as said by Buddha himself, ignorance is the root of all evil. And I agree 100%.
