Oh Dear.

OK, Hi Anita! Good Morning Everyone!

OK, to me Atheist means you don’t believe in God and Agnostic means that you think something might be out there, but you don’t want to define it. Anita, I never lumped you into angry Atheists in my mind! One of my neighbors is Atheist, but she is not angry. She doesn’t think about religion at all!

And guess what? I don’t believe in hell (BOO!) LOL. In the OT the Hebrews named it SHEOL, meaning the literal place you go when you die (death/the earth). There are only a couple verses that might allude to fire and brimstone. But guess where that concept came from? The artists from Europe in the Middle Ages!!

I look to the Orthodox Jews, frankly, as my clue to what they meant by what’s in the OT. If they don’t believe in hell, then neither did the ancient Israelites in Jesus’ time, most likely!

Yes, I had a spiritual experience. I did not have a mental experience however, meaning I did not get a download of what all Christians (might) believe!

Glenda, yes, Jesus wanted his disciples to spread the good news, but dear, you are going about it ALL WRONG!! If anything, you are turning people AWAY from Christianity!!

Blessings.

Glenda: here is my .. prayer for you:

God whom I do not believe in, Almighty Father in Heaven of which I do not believe in, forgive Glenda who I do believe exists. She knows not what she does or says. I honestly tried to shed some light into this sad and dark place in between Glenda’s ears but I’ve failed. But that won’t stop me trying some more.

Here is my trying some more, then: Glenda, are you married to the man you have been living with for about ten years? Or are you fornicating?

Funniest thing I’ve read in a while Anita 🙂 A classic!

Your title is “Christianity works for me. How about you?” Which give me the impression you wish to hear about our own personal path and what completes us. Then you starting shouting “Jesus” and posting your personal prayers, so congratulations on the misleading title. I am thrilled you found a path that speaks to you, but by carrying on as you do will cause more people to turn against you. I am happy on my path, as people are happy on their own. Good luck on your path, but please don’t try converting me, I found my spiritual path and I am perfectly happy as a Wiccan just as you are happy as a Christian.

I find it interesting that Glenda thinks she is doing God’s work. From a psychological point of view, you’d call it delusional? Delusions of grandeur? So aren’t all those hardcore Christians, who are using arrogant language which just turns people off, also delusional? They need to work on their sales technique if they really want to sell their product.
Glenda, admit defeat. You owe it to us and yourself really. Don’t be so serious!

It is possible, Inky, but looking at previous posts leading to this, I don’t know. She may very well be real as truth is often stranger than fiction. She wrote god spoke to her LATELY, must have been quite a conversation. If she is a troll, how does one explain so many people outside the online world, speaking in tongues, extracting demons out of people…how does one explain a Ben Carson, a brain surgeon?

Thank you for your explanation, Nekoshema. I like do no harm. The world would be such a different place, an extremely different place if that rule was followed.
