Does existence exist? If so, God does. What I am saying is, God IS existence...

That being the case, Dianavan, how can God punish you? God would have to be apart FROM you to be motivated to punish you, and I don't believe that's possible. Besides, are you important enough in the greater scheme of things to merit punishment? (grin) Are any of us???

The only reason people imagine God dealing out punishment is because they are insecure, fearful, and self-important. They figure God is kind of like that too...only bigger. That's ridiculous. Such a God would not be worth having in the first place.
