You state rather unequivocally that SoCal and you can actually prove that your God exists. I simply asked that you prove it.

SoCal states that she cannot provide a description of God because I do not have the soul development that would "enable" her to "express the exact truth through my brain." Now, I think that is a not-so-subtle judgment of another person that is based on what? Plus, no one expresses through another person's brain.

Not bashing. Openly challenging. There's a difference. I checked out your link. It's no different than a thousand other groups who think they are the truth, the way, the Divine Love, etc. In fact, it is pretty much the same rap, different wrapping.

I would respond by saying: Don't make bold proclamations that you can actually PROVE your God exists, and when asked to "prove it" then you come back with "You have nothing to prove."

Thanks for the link. I checked it out. Yes, you are right: I do not believe or want what you are proselytizing.

Have a nice day and good luck in convincing people that, unlike Christians, your God actually exists and can be proven.

Hey you,

I'm glad you checked out the link... I've done my job.

I specifically didn't mention that those are not my words. They come from the highest source in all the earth and beyond. If you don't happen to agree with them, that's okay. At least you can't ever say, "No one ever told me."

And you have a splendid day.

Seems to me earthman, you want me to tell you something of yourself. I can't do that. You didn't ask how to prove God, you asked me to tell you something of yourself to prove that God exists. Sorry, I don't do that.

If you want to know that God of Divine Love, you will have to ask for His love and after a period of time, you will receive His love if you want it with all your heart, mind and soul. It will not flow into you just by mere words. It doesn't work like that. You have to want it. Seems you don't.

Think of it this way.

One is like coal.

The other is like a diamond.

Well, awesome.

You don't have to believe.

I was in your shoes once myself and I didn't want to know or care to know about this stuff.

What usually happens with people is this... when they are at their lowest point in life and they begin questioning why it is happening and what and who can help give them a boost, this information is helpful to them.

So this is what happened to me... and here I am merely wanting to share something cool.

I can assure you that I am probably at the highest point of my life. My experience, education, almost 2 decades of marriage to the same person, great kids, money, happiness etc etc are working out dandy. If I were ever to reach a low point, I would rely on myself, not on any religious crutch.

Awesome... congrats on a successful life.

Well, relying on yourself is what it's all about, because ultimately it's up to you and we each have to take responsibility for our actions.

So is this one of your little hobbies, just checkin' things out here? What does your wife say?

She thinks it is a waste of time -she is probably right. But it is fun too.
