Thread Name: BS: Why does 'prayer' scare people?
Subject: RE: BS: Why does 'prayer' scare people?
For some reason I feel obligated to clarify what I said. (I sound like Barry Goldwater)! In the first place, where did the cook GET all those raw materials? Let me be quite clear on this: To me, GOD is not a personal diety.He/she did not create the world for us. We are all Johnnie's come lately. God is a force, an energy, a creative energy. God is the source of the universe, and it all boils down to one word, ENERGY.That energy created the favorable conditions for the universe to come into existence. The problem is, mankind in his supreme arrogance has to believe that God is a big brother, and, in my opinion, that is simply the wrong slant. God doesn't cause horrible things to happen, WE DO! Hitler, Stalin, poverty, hatred, war, none of those were caused by the creator God Bless America. Ok, GOD HAS blessed America by creating some of the most favorable conditions on earth. This is the core of my belief, and, like anyone else, I could be wrong, and, in the end if I find out that GOD is a Muslim not a Jew or a Christian, I can say "well,I'll be damned."
