What does God mean to you? Do not respond to any message except message #1

I hope God exists. If he does, He knows this about me.I believe God exists. If he does, he knows this about me.I don't know if God exists. If he does, he knows this about me.He knows I hope, believe, yet don't know. He is content.I hope God saves innocent babies from violence. He knows this about me.I hope all good people go to heaven. He knows this about me.I hope all evil people never wake up again, as only good things deserve to never end.
This He knows about me.I guess if he exists, he knows things about me. I'm content to acknowledge that I'm naive and
I know little.I hate people judging one another. He knows this about me.I hate being judged, as it impinges onto my freedom, and I am expected to do things people do, or
act in a certain way, that other fellow-servants will not judge me.If there were no judgements, life would be heaven.I'm pretty confident if people were selfless more, we could create heaven on earth. Maybe God knows this, I
guess he's a patient guy, like the bible says.I hope for all these things. Why? Because if God exists, all the good things
I hope for represent him. He becomes my good works. Christ knew it, and that gave him permission to
call himself God. He died for others, and was holy, if you do this too, then
when people look at your face, they have seen God, literally.Doesn't matter about any of those silly little labels. You can be anyone. An atheist,
theist, naturalist, rich man, poor man, lollypopman, weather girl, shoe-shiner, businessman, boffin, scholar, teacher, pet dog.. whatever....., (as I said, these are judgements of you). If you follow this goodness that is inside you, you are God on earth. It's in everyone, that is, goodness.Even serial killers can be friendly. People are shocked by this. I'm not. There is good in everyone, and evil. It's all a matter of choice. Choose the bad, and you get the glory of the world and then die. Choose the good, and you don't get anything. Maybe it's not about getting something. Maybe it's about being more than an animal, hence Christ was not tempted in the desert. Maybe the only way to truly be a giant, is to be small. To be a servant. Maybe to not be an animal, you have to be as innocent and as humble as an animal. Like an orang. To have that all-conquering Groundhog day that Bill Murray finally got right! Oh if only, the world was full of Jars!(not cookie ones).I know what You're thinking. You're thinking, "what the hell, what a mind-job, I can't be bothered with all that". That's the very thought man has been having since day one, and he's going to end up at square one with that attitude. Heaven itself is achievable. What if Christ's return is infact the return of what Christ stands for? Goodness? How's that for an interpretation? Kind of contradicts the literalist- interpretation eh? But so what! Just because their interpretation is popular doesn't mean mine isn't true!So don't call my good works a fantasy, when they're full of reality. Believe my works! and judge me not.If you say my God is a fantasy or fairytale, then you directly contradict every good work I have ever done.This message has been edited by mike the wiz, 11-03-2005 07:29 AM
