Thread Name: BS: Is there a god or not?
Subject: RE: BS: Is there a god or not?
Terry - I do not believe that God, by definition, must be worshipped. I do not believe there is anything anyone must do in regards to God. We have free will. Absolutely free. There are no restrictions or demands placed upon our use of it. The only restrictions are those that rest upon natural law as governs the use of physical forms and energy patterns in nature. Example: I cannot jump higher than a certain rather limited distance, given this physical body and the existence of gravity on this planet. Therefore, there's a natural limit placed on my free will in regards to how high I can jump.

Those restrictions are basically the rules which establish the borders and structures of "the game" we are all playing here. You can't have a game without rules and structure of some kind. Except for those rules, we are free to make any move we want at any time, and we are most certainly NOT required to worship God.

It's the friggin' organized religions which require people to worship God, and people created those religions.
