O child grow tall and strong
Become not a stunted shrub.
O child grow tall and strong
Become not a stunted shrub;
nor live like a pot plant all your life
come out in the fresh air, you grub!

ATHEIST IN THE WOODS
An atheist was walking through the woods.
'What majestic trees!
'What powerful rivers!
'What beautiful animals!
He said to himself.
Suddenly, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him.
He turned to look . . . and saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him.
He ran as fast as he could along the path.
He looked over his shoulder & saw that the bear was closing on him ....
He looked over his shoulder again,
and the bear was even closer ....
and then ..... He tripped and fell.
Rolling over to pick himself up, he found the bear was right on top of him ......
reaching towards him with its left paw ...
and raising the right paw to strike ...
At that instant the Atheist cried out,
'Oh my God!'
Time Stopped ...
The bear froze ......
The forest was silent ....
A bright light shone upon the man,
and a voice came out of the sky ...
"You deny my existence for all these years,
you teach others I don't exist
and even credit creation to cosmic accident .....
Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament?"
"Am I to count you as a believer?"
The atheist looked directly into the light ....
"It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now ...
but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christian?"
... a pause ...
"Very well," said the voice ...
The light went out.
The sounds of the forest resumed ...
And the bear dropped his right arm ....
brought both paws together ....
bowed his head & spoke ...
"Lord, bless this food,
which I am about to receive.
To be called a boy is the gravest insult in my culture.Quote:

He Fooled Himself
“Be sure your sins will find you out.”the Bible
The story is told of a young actor who was trying to impress an important movie director. The actor wanted to send an expensive gift, but he didn't have the money, but he had an idea. If he could find a valuable vase which was already broken and get it at a very small cost, then he could mail it to the director. He would think it had gotten broken in the mail and would be impressed anyway.
So this actor went to an exclusive store and found a vase that had been broken into many pieces. It was just going to be thrown out, so he was able to get it at a very small cost. He told them to wrap it up and send it and gave them the address. He waited to hear from the director, but heard nothing for several days. Finally he sent a telegram: "Did vase arrive?" Shortly he received this response: "Vase arrived. But why was each piece wrapped separately?"2
As Abraham Lincoln said, “You may fool all the people some of the time, you can even fool some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.”
But with God we can never fool him any of the time. “Be sure your sins will find you out”—mine too!
Suggested prayer: "Dear God, deliver me from the sin of denial and trying to fool myself into justifying whatever wrong I want and choose to do—let alone trying to fool you. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully in Jesus’ name, amen.”
1. Numbers 32:23 (KJV).

try to fool God!
While the God-fearing look at them with awe!
For this reason alone, it seems
God created this Universe!!

Then God created the Universe for us to commit sin, is this right?Quote:

To sin is man's own act not endorsed either by God,Nature or common sense!!
If God is all-powerful, why did he create a sinner?
your govt may be all powerful; your country's laws more powerful, yet crimeQuote:

All living things are 'slaves' to air, food,water and sex; non-living things to their ' sensual stillness' and lack of 'motility'.
God has given humans a road map to live their lives, the same as your government, institutions, family and society gives you one. Try get out of their limits and feel the brunt. Why then believe the Creator, God, for being lesser??? If He's not important to you why is His name always on your lips??
If Moses and Jesus were there..... What would have
been their reaction to this????

This technology is already being used to make bio-diesel to power cars. Other researchers are looking at how we might, one day, control human emotions by sending biological machines into our brains.

What is God's point in creating an atheist?
G L WILSON IS BACK!
Welcome back Willy. If God created us he would have created along with us the possibility for atheism. If I was God I would have added to creation a few fat pinches of chance. I would make free men, not slaves.
So you must think it's ultimately determined?Quote:

The only thing that stops us from anarchy is an obedience to human law and nothing else as is clearly shown by example.
The ancient Greeks had a code of honour and decency and look at their gods. I understand the significance of the so called "death of God," but really, there was more than just God keeping us at least moderately in line for those two Christian millenniums. Look at the Chinese, they didn't have our God.Quote:

Imagine a world bereft of those two things and this world becomes by contrast "good."
Evil is who Evil does
Why blame God??
God isn't will work with you, if you'll work with him. If you want to follow the rules then God will play.
Because it is supposed that God is omnipotent. As Stendhal said, "God's only excuse is that he does not exist."Quote:

The problem, people has taken God literally but there is actually more to it. Early human beings have been enlightened with their thinking and realizations that they can actually create beautiful ideas such as creating gods and goddesses and other allegories or symbols. They were enlightened so much that they appreciate every atom in the world
