No, not when you look into how it was formed. God is an infinite consciousness beyond space and time, the source of all that is. I would be crazy to set myself against such a being. However, you think I've turned against him, because I've dared to criticise a man-made religion that elevates itself to the level of claiming to be the "one true religion" that perfectly represents God to man. But you're all wrapped up in Christianity as being the absolute truth. And unless you're willing to question that, Raf is right, this is pointless. Best Darryl Claire,

“is the bible not evidence enough?”

On many occasions God has worked wonders for me. i really advise you to read a book bluke like Jazz by donard millar. it is from a non religious view. very interesting. i believe in everything i have said and i say it from the heart. you don't have to see to believe as i said before that is what faith is, our faith defines us. claire. please don’t mistake them for threats. i am simply saying and as for evidence is the bible not evidence enough? to have belief in something is the strongest thing i feel a person can do in their life. for you once to believe and speak like this makes me doubt that you actually ever experinced God.

Speaking of judgement to come ... how do you know this is going to happen? Because I certainly don't know it. I know that I'm being asked to believe in something, for no other reason than I'm being made to feel afraid not to. I'm being asked to bet my soul on a historical probability, and simply BELIEVE. How can you, in good conscience, speak these threats, without offering me a shred of evidence to back them up? We do not live in a world where everyone simply believes without question that the events of the New Testament really happened as recorded for us. I, for one, have many questions about that. I would challenge you: are you simply repeating something that has been told to you, or have you done any real research of your own? Darryl Hi, Claire.

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:24:04 +0000 http://darrylsloan.wordpress.com/contact/#comment-3326 Hey, Ok so my name is Claire, and that is all you really need to know. I heard recently a lot about your site and to be honest I don't think highly of it...personal opinion, you seen to have a lot of your own; so thought I would share mine. You are a writer and that is great your need to be rewarded for you have written great books, they are good! I myself alike have a desire for art and English and I do understand that yes, you may be trying to boost your public profile on sites likes this so that your dream of being a famous writer may come true. After reading a lot of your posts something that hit me was that you are always talking about God. I myself am a Christian, I love Jesus Christ and I have a compassion for him. I feel that every day in my faith I am growing as a person, growing also alike in my faith. However, I feel that your need to constantly shut God down for your own personal experiences/faith is shocking. You here are not portraying the right characteristics of faith. Faith is something every person has, its fact. Every person makes their own relationship with Christ and it is through that then that you are recognised. Seeing is not believing. God is there for those that want him. You seem to have shut him down a long time ago, but truthfully, God never shut you down. Be careful what you say on here... for God is real. you may feel you were was naive to believe but you I think you have told yourself so many lies that you are believing them. you wrote under a bog you wrote you don't want to live in fear of what other people think of you; that’s great nobody should, however it's life and on a daily basis no matter how much you tell yourself that you don't care its something that will affect us all eventually. God is near; judgement day is near... are you going to care then? be careful what you say on this Hey, Ok so my name is Claire, and that is all you really need to know.

My name is Julio i born and live in Brazil, I'm 23 years old. My English is not very good, but i will try make my best. I saw a lot of your videos on Youtube about Telekinesis and I did some experiments, and i can move the aluminum paper over a needle, it's very impressive. So i have some questions for you, i see sometimes some blue light, like a luminous blue ball, i see on my mind since i born, i don't know but, i think is chakra, i never saw supernatural things like ghosts or something like that, i don't really know, but i think i have some kind of "power" who is locked. What you think about that? - What is this blue thing on my mind ? - Is possible the chakra have something with this blue thing? - You know some way to prove i have some hidden "power" and how unlock this with No Negative way (Like bad or evil) ?

So i have some questions for you, i see sometimes some blue light, like a luminous blue ball, i see on my mind since i born, i don’t know but, i think is chakra, i never saw supernatural things like ghosts or something like that, i don’t really know, but i think i have some kind of “power” who is locked.

What you think about that?

- What is this blue thing on my mind ?
- Is possible the chakra have something with this blue thing?
- You know some way to prove i have some hidden “power” and how unlock this with No Negative way (Like bad or evil) ?

Man I’m a good guy, i do good actions, i don’t wanna go to the bad path.

Please answer this questions for me.

But <i>Reality Check</i> was just such a perfect fit, given the theme. Unfortunately, putting a common term like "reality check" into a search engine means that you'll get a thousand results quoting the phrase alone, without any relation to anyone's book.

It's only after a proof has been generated or a file has been "accepted" that you need to pay. Check with your rep for the rules.

The bit I read looks good. I'll look forward to grabbing a copy when it's available. Whenever I lose a friend to my beliefs I just remind myself that they weren't my friend after all. It's tough, I know. Sometimes you look at all the people who are willing to go along with absolutely anything to be popular and it may seem tempting. Just remind yourself that we need people to come out with the radical ideas every now and then. It's like taxes: no one likes them but someone has to be the taxman. Radical philosophy wouldn't be radical if the ideas were popular. Well done, and best of luck on the release. Well done for getting another project completed. The bit I read looks good.
