In retrospect, God is simply LOVE, not a 'he' who makes any decisions...
"Yielding means inner acceptance of what is. You are open to life. When you yield internally, when you surrender, a new dimension of consciousness opens up. Circumstances and people then become helpful, cooperative. Coincidences happen. If no action is possible, you rest in the peace and inner stillness that come with surrender." -Eckhart T. |

dont u believe in government and society either? |
It's hard not to believe society exists when society is just a short word for "a bunch of people around you" and there is, in fact, a bunch of people around me.
I used not to believe in government, then I stopped paying my taxes and found out it does believe I exist, and is very good at demanding retribution. |

Me neither! Since I heard about it, my mind's been bulging with new ideas. What do you think we should call people if they're actually brainwashed sheep? How about "sheeple"? I kind of like the way that sounds!
Sheeeeeeeeple! |

You do a study to back up your new hypothesis on what "people" actually are, now that we know the government and society do not exist. See if you can get it published before proof of God's existence. |

Actually, publishing all three at the same time would be much more awesome: I'd get to say what people really are and that the government and society don't exist but God does!
I'm totally going to add a chapter about Chem Trails and 9/11! |

Actually, I'm going to make it a novel and I'm going to call the protagonist Ashleigh Williams!
...
Wait, this is actually a good idea! Can you imagine how epic a novel this would turn out to be?! |

ARGUMENT FROM UNINTELLIGENCE
(1) Okay, I don't pretend to be as intelligent as you guys — you're obviously very well read. But I read the Bible, and nothing you say can convince me that God does not exist.
