We are, within, a small spark of the one Divine God, as each living being has a living pearl of light. God, as the Bible touts Him, is given anthropomorphic feelings, motives and directives, a book of fairytales that truly demeans, slanders and maligns His greatness by making him cheap, in man's image.
In that God awful book, God is always portrayed as mean, vindictive, jealous, vengeful and full of wrath, especially if we don't follow his Biblical (man-made-up) rules and edicts.
Ancient Man- Made rules
The Bible states that one may make a slave of a neighboring nation; does that mean either Mexicans or Canadians or both; which is it?
It insists that a sabbath violator must be stoned to death; can I get assistance or do I have to do it, myself?
The Bible states that homosexuality and eating shellfish are both equal in abominations; but which is worse?
It states that I must sacrifice perfect cows(white and unblemished with red hair) in a blood sacrifice (Cain's sacrifice was rejected as it was merely produce) that also requires that blood be splashed on all four corners of the altar, more reminiscent of demonic worship, rather than of obedience to the one true God; will my driveway be acceptable?
Creation Nonsense and Myth
They also thump, repeatedly, that the Bible is correct when it states that an omnipotent God, hanging out bored on some clouds, created the world in just six days and had to rest on the seventh, because this omnipotent God was pooped.
Primitive man, with his fear of death, sensed and feared the unseen as well, and invented this book's version of God in an honest but silly attempt to understand His probable nature.
Some 5000 years later, today, sadly, so called modern day Christians, and ever so devout Jews, become livid bible thumping evangelists because they have been brainwashed; they blindly accept this book as one true source of divine inspiration.
Science is Ignored .
Nobody really knows about who and what God is and what God demands of all of us.These fundamentalist yahoos also deny evolution.
They insist, against all scientific proof, that the time line of Earth is just several thousand years and go on to declare that man walked with dinosaurs.
When I hear them pontificate and read their answers about what God wants and what we must do to align ourselves with Him, by quoting from this Book, it appears that they seem to only fire up their own egos, in false self-righteousness. (E.G.most"right-to lifers" welcome the death penalty) Listening to them and reading their essays, I begin to doubt evolution, myself.
We Must Rethink Ourselves .
The Old testament is a tree and Christianity a mere branch. God creates star systems and sentient creatures; He does NOT write books.
Not content to quote the Old Testament alone these holier than thou Christians stitch it to and quote the New Testament, which is not a Bible, but a slim addendum, five differing versions, written 80 years after Jesus walked the Earth.
What ever happened to the answer; "I don't know."about God and death and goodness and "rules"of heaven? Man made religions and the God that man invented, fuel these people to give all sorts of answers, that makes them feel so very important when proslytizing answers that no one truly knows.
Spiritual people have much to teach us while religious people are just scary.
Spiritual people are open to flexible thinking while religious people are quick to say;"no, I don't believe in THAT".
The major difference is in the brainwashing and cult mentality.
Spiritual people accept the mysterious while religious people are fast to explain away the mysterious with pat answers with the accompanying sound of Bible thumping, in the background.
One thing is for sure;
It is a paradoxical problem that Heaven is such a utopian realm; that since there is little or no negativity there we must come to Earth within a physical body in order to 'grow' spiritually towards God.
We appear to grow spiritually, only and oddly, by experiencing myriad experiences of negativity on this plane .
One may affirm oneself an Atheist and be one who like a goldfish never suspects a greater world beyond the pond's surface and in that limited awareness float beneath the surface of a greater reality in total ignorance for our whole lives.
The fact that the bible was written by man who created God in his own image is certain.
But If one studies all major religions, out of body experiences, near death experiences, hauntings, psychic's powers, and memories of previous lifetimes through regressive hypnosis techniques, one MUST deduce from the cumulative evidences that we are not people having spiritual experiences but spirits having human experiences.
The question remains, however, as to just how accurate a blueprint the ancient Hebrew Bible is for our expanded consciousness and lives in the 21st century.
Abductions and their remnant elusive memories have opened all this for Paul, a confirmed atheist, until he saw aliens float him out of his body, in his bed, at night. Then, he knew that they were interested in an essence he never suspected that he had; a soul. Our spiritual powers that interest and addict interdimensionals are the very powers that can be used to thwart further attacks.
They infect auras with attachments to themselves and ride the reincarnation roller coaster with people, to avoid the death that they fear and to steal the spiritual recycling that we have.
These joyriding grays can be sinister, discorporate alien souls ,stuck to your energies, who bring a new meaning to the concept of a silent invasion.

ENERGY is the true God!
Religion and books about God(s) are just "things" people create to pacify their personal beliefs - while inflicting those false hopes upon others. There are few people more stubborn than Christians when it comes to beliefs, even when faced with undeniable facts that dispute them.
you make perfect sense but God is less than logical and much more an intuitive reality (He just ISNT what formal religions say that He is and He is frustrated with numbskull Biblethumpers,not at you,for being a free thinker)

Well, for me God doesn't exist, therefore I'm not worried about HIS frustration. That would make about as much sense to me as fearing being bitten by a dog in my house that I don't own or never have. No dog! No chance of being bitten! - No God! No frustration!
Be careful when you say, "God is less than logical and much more an intuitive reality." You set yourself up for having to provide proof in order to back up your statement. You put yourself in the same social circle as the believers who declare, "I believe in God."
I am a Christian and my belief is that, yes, the Bible was written by 'man', inspired by God. I don't 'thump' the Bible, but I believe that it is God's way of communicating with modern man. God gives us the option to believe or not to believe, to be good people, or bad people. Through the Bible we learn of His goodness and love, but we also learn that He can be a very strict disciplinarian (Father) when need be. The Bible states that 'narrow is the gate, and few there will be that enter in..' I pray for everyone (believers or no) and will take my chances on the Bible.
Maybe YOU can explain that God awful Book;The Bible states that one may make a slave of a neighboring nation:does that mean either Mexicans or Canadians or both;which is it?It insists that a sabbath violator must be stoned to death:can I get assistance or do I have to do it,myself?The Bible states that homosexuality AND eating shellfish are both abominations;but which is worse?it states that I must sacrifice a perdfect cows(white with red hair)blood sacrifice;will my driveway be acceptable?I was hoping that you'd assist me as I have dozens of other questions;paul
The bible demeans an all loving never strict God with these mistaken attributes of negativity;all of us(most,anyway except for ghosts)return to the place that we all came from;heaven; contrary to what the Bible states,the gate is wide and open
I was a profound cynical atheist until I saw aliens float me out of my body,in my bed and that not only terrified me but alerted me to many previously unthought of things not the least of which was that I had a soul,that they were interested in;I have been 'oiling' that rusty spiritual connection ever since.
I think the author has much to say in this article. I enjoyed reading the passion and knowledge he put into the written lines. As a reader, I found the subject matter interesting and, certainly, controversial at times. However, if I were the writer of this article, I would review it again, break the thoughts into shorter paragraphs to hold reader attention and fix the punctuation throughout the article.
I shall pay you handsomely to edit ALL of my writings, as that is one of my great weaknesses;I am sure that you are much more gifted than I,in that endeavor,and as a gray mare"ain't what she used to be",simply isn't true:Paul Schroeder
spiritual people have much to teach us;religious people are just scary.Spiritual people are open to flexible thinking;religious people are quick to say;"no,I don't believe in THAT".The major difference is in the brainwashing and cult mentality.Secondarily,spiritual people accept the mysterious;religious people are fast to explain away the mysterious.

You make some excellent points in this latest comment Paul. I'm curious to know what you feel constitutes "spiritual." I think of the mysterious as the energy within us. The thing that we KNOW FOR A FACT is there, but we barely understand and can't explain.
Some people feel card-readers, palm-readers, the I-Ching, people who claim to speak to ghost, etc. are spiritual, but I don't. Especially when you take into account how many frauds that have been uncovered.
Again I say, energy is my spiritual reality. It's working as I write. I will never understand it, but I will never give it the label "God" and then create or follow a religion based on that label. That to me is for fools......Kenny
Unfortunately, I didn't see any reasoning as to why God would be angry at "bible thumpers". I did see reasons expressed about why you are angry at evangelists, though I suspect there are deeper reasons not expressed in this article.
Didnt see any reasons?As the bible states:"there are none so blind as those who will not see"!For one,to quote,from above:"God is always portrayed as mean,vindictive,jealous,vengeful and full of wrath,especially if we don't follow his(man-made-up) rules and edicts."That would @#$@#&* Him off!Another reason given above,To quote: "The Bible touts Him with man- given anthropomorphic feelings,motives and directives ,a book of fairytales that truly demeans, slanders and maligns His greatness by making him cheap,in mans image."And,yet,another quote explaining why God would be angry:"They(Bible thumpers) insist,against all scientific proof,that the time line of Earth is just several thousand years and go on to declare that man walked with dinosaurs" They also thump,repeatedly, that the Bible is correct when it states that an omnipotent God,hanging out bored on some clouds,created the world in just six days and had to rest on the seventh,because this omnipotent God was pooped!How could you ignore the points made,above as reasons why Bible thumpers anger God??In addition,man- made rules abound throughout this erroneous book ,that" thumpers" always refer to;specifically;The Bible states that one may make a slave of a neighboring nation:does that mean either Mexicans or Canadians or both;which is it?It insists that a sabbath violator must be stoned to death:(can I get assistance or do I have to do it,myself?)The Bible states that homosexuality AND eating shellfish are both abominations;(but which is worse;are there degrees of abomination?)It states that I must sacrifice a perfect cow(unblemished white with red hair)in a blood sacrifice and that blood carefully be splashed on all four corners of the altar(,more reminiscent of demonic worship than anything else);(will my driveway be acceptable?)I equate evangelists as prime bible thumpers as they and others who thump have no other way to relate God to themselves or to others except through that God-awful"Book"
There was a time when I parroted my mom's and her family's expectations and professed to "believe" in Christ. Now I know better, that I never really believed, and to be sure, I'm pretty confused about Jesus. I know he's not any more of a god than I am. I have prayed that God make this a nation tolerant of the varieties of religious experience (to borrow from William James), and I see that He is answering my prayers.
