    People who do not know god, and just know of him do not understand. I was not blessed and yes it a blessing to be raised knowing god. Not just knowing that christmas is the birth of jesus and having a small plastic baby jesus orniment on your tree. Really knowing him on a personal level. Reading his word, studying him if you will so that us as sinners can Not try to be perfect but try to live a life that is pleasing to god. God is for everyone. No matter your race gender or sexual prefrence he is FOR EVERY one even the screw ups , or the Harvard graduates. I am sure she was not judging anyone for as a godly woman she is well aware that our father in heaven will judge us by the standards in which we judge others. But as followers of jesus christ we must spread the good news, the news that gives people hope to be made right with god. My dear, if you feel so against all of this as it appears but yet you are reading and commenting on post that deal with god maybe you should realize that god might just be talking to you. God works in ways unimaginable. He chooses US we just have to accept him in return. May god bless each and every one of you wuo reads this. The ones that agree and disagree alike.

    I like how you combined two types of crack into your Elk God.

    There are either inconsistencies to what you're saying or subtlities to your language that elude me. How can you say you're on this earth to spread God's word and yet you don't believe in converting people. Look, I'm all for a lot of what you find in The New Testament. I'm even in favor of some of God's laws in The Old Testament. I'm completely behind Moses when he stated on God's authority that "If two men are fighting and the wife of one man grabs the testicles of the other, then her hand shall be cut off without pity." I mean, that makes good sense to me. Look, I can relate. And perhaps I was hasty to judge. I don't generally share this, but I'm the living avatar of The Two-Cocked Lithuanian Elk God of Crack and Anal Sex and I spent years trying to spread His Truth, but it was slow going to say the least. I guess my view of inspiring others with your own personal dogma was somewhat jaundiced by the experience.

    I don't believe in God, but i don't care if other people do. If it makes them happy, they can totally go for it and i hope they are also nice people and would be without believing. If they don't hurt anyone, there aint no problem. I just don't like fanatics who get into everyones business and try to push laws through and such.

    It's just about sharing and caring about your fellow man on this journey called life.



    It doesn't have to be about any specific religion or church.



    Help your neighbor, share a smile with a stranger, lift someone's day.



    We can all do that no matter what part of the globe we reside.



    It just helps break down the barriers of hate which is too prevalent in this world

    I am no saint and do not claim to be. I also never said that I am on a mission from God. I am not even a Blues Brothers fan, nor am I for other reasons, arrogant in how I spread The Worsd. I am not one of those people who go door-to-doo, handing out literature and such. In fact, I cannot stand when people do that. That is called converting, not spreading The Word. There IS a difference. I merely just don't back down when somone tries to convert me to their idea of beliefs, or even lack of. Once again, another person who twists words.

    "I'm on a mission from God." Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, The Blues Brothers. It's not so much your message that offends people. It's the unbelievable sense of arrogance that you believe you're hep to a system of belief so perfect that you need to spread it. I mean, I'm tuned in enough to know that bad sex and good drugs are the cornerstone of any great society, but you don't see me standing around, preaching it.

    It's not judging or converting beliefs, it's about sharing a love and respect for your fellow man by living the gospel and letting the *ripple effect* work through the world.

    I really don't get people who judge others, and try and convert to their own beliefs.

    When you share the love with uplifting comments and support, His love comes through and via the spirit, people feel Him. I believe they will on some level be more open to hearing the gospel through deeds.



    When we *live* His word, people are more open.



    God bless you and guide you on His mission



    Love and Hugz
