I also didn’t say I believed in a specific God. Just God. There’s so many different people around the world that the Christian mythos wouldn’t make sense to that it can’t just be one answer. So many different religions exist and so many people who are good at their core don’t believe in the Bible, and I just don’t think God would shit on ‘em for not being in the right club and not knowing the handshake.

Evil is real. The darkness exists. But so does its opposite. One creates, and the other destroys. We can choose to be as far into either camp as we want, because we have free will. I don’t buy the whole “Divine Plan” thing; existence doesn’t make sense to me if it’s all pre-determined.

And, in the end, none of us KNOW anything. We’re too small to see the big picture anyways. (Or do anything about it.) Life is about trying to make things not suck for ourselves and others. All the other ceremonial and iconographic trappings of religion just get in the way.

(P.S.: To anyone else reading this, I have read the Bible, and it took me 5 and a half years, because it’s not written very well. A lot of the Old Testament seems like it’s fallen victim to both Politically Motivated editing and the thousands of years old game of telephone that comes from a document that started as oral histories in languages that no longer exist. People should experience God for themselves anyway. Not just take someone’s word for it. Like falling in love. You think you know what that will be like, but until you really do it, you don’t know at all. Or any other experience, really.)

(P.P.S.: Sorry about the length. Kinda got carried away.)

Thats not a ‘theory’. in order for something to be a theory, you must have facts and evidence to support it. You have neither…just a naive pipe dream, no more credible than the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

You need to get your brain check, Tyler.

“Honestly, research before you begin to harass the only God who is loving enough to die for you.”

First of all, you’ve got some balls being a Christian and telling someone to be honest…since your ENTIRE life and foundation is built on believing that which has NO evidence, efectivly lying to yourself and other everyday of your life.

Secondly, what kind of a weak god do you worship that would be ‘harassed’ by me, a puny human ?

I’m done with the negative shit now.
Sometimes I just get too stoned and certain comments piss me off.

The new album by
HORSE the Band is fucking infectious, I can’t stop listening to it.
Even when I need eat, sleep, or drop a deuce.

An old lady once approached me while I was wearing a Peace Sells shirt and said it was devil worship. In
New York City of all fucking places. I told her she should move to Utah.
She might have been from there in the first place, in which case, fuck her anyway for being ignorant.
Why do Christians get so easily offended? I’m an atheist, we don’t even believe in the devil.
Everyone knows that in order to truly believe in Satan you have to believe in God.
Rock and metal just appropriate the idea of Satan for the sake of badass imagery.

Point is, if we are God’s children, that Father/Child relationship wouldn’t work, wouldn’t be real, without our free will to accept or reject Him. At least that’s my theory. If the universe is really one big organism like I proposed, I’z just a molecule, son.

Sorry this comment wasn’t too metal, but I do try to be heavy.

(P.S.: I believe in God, but I’m not religious. You can call me just plain “Unorthodox”.)

Next thing you’re going to say that he really gave us free will…

Is that the highest level of discurse you wanna talk? pff
