Ask Not What God Can Do For You But What You Can Do For God

[_John Larsen]

What does God need with a starship?

[_Nightlion]

Nah. I'd rather not.

Here's a rock formation for you to project your delusions on, buddy. What do you see?

I see you, Stanly. All petrified with a funny hat on.

And a new name, but its Spanish for some reason, um ah, yeah its Ricardo Grande.

What does God need with a starship?

don't know what brought this up but why does God have to NEED anything? Maybe he just wants one.

I'm pretty sure that God can take care of Himself and He doesn't either want or need anything from me.

I have spent forty years juxtaposed with the thoughts of God and my own stinkers. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts as his ways are higher than our ways. I want to take you higher.

What's funny here is that what you think are god's thoughts really are your thoughts. Essentially, you suffer from a sort of multiple personality disorder.

Again, I recommend you see a doctor and get on the proper meds immediately. It's just the right thing to do.

Man, that dude looks hard as a rock.

Here is what I can do for God. I will show my appreciation for the fact that he gave me a brain.... by using it.

By using it, I'll suppose that if God is a personal God who gives a crap about what I do on this planet, then he'll not beat about the bush and tease us with his interest, through centuries of religious claims that always seem to fall outside the real of falsifiability.

Notice how this board, supposedly dedicated to the TRUTH, is all about people and what THEY think. PHOOOEY! The truth is not about what we think. What we think stinks.

You really are a retard.
Your god doesn't have the power of an ant.
Ant is at least alive, enjoying life,
You god is stuck in your fiction brain.

I know that Rock from Kodachrome Basin!

My intent with this thread was simply to point out that we need to turn around and approach God in our thoughts and actions and seek to respect God by not taking what he provides and ignoring him. Of course we cannot help but receive daily much more from God than we can return. But to go our own way as if all God wanted to do was launch each of us out away from him is wrong.

When you love someone who is responsible for so much that needs to be done, how do you ignore it and just do your own thing? What I have done for God is learn how to help. Now I am ignored, just like God, and resented, just like God is, and hated for judging that people are insulting God by not turning around unto him with full purpose of heart.

If you will not forsake your own interests in the crafts of men then you have taken from God selfishly. God will be worshiped for having done all. He is not a Father who can be abused by being used without consequences. There is a theological reality as to the jealousy of God and his fierce anger against those who blaspheme his Majesty.
