I personally find Shakespeare a lot more interesting.

Please quote Shakespeare.

I'm sorry you feel this way BuckLaser, this is by no means my purpose. One thing about the Christian faith is that it is a "Jesus way or no way" belief I will agree with you. I want to be gentle and to the point if at all possible. Thank you for your response.

A great question windsofchange. I have pondered that same thing before. I have found no biblical answer at this time for you or me on that one.

I will use the bible often but not everytime.

Sure, He is the beginning. He is the first cause. He holds the atoms together and keeps everything in balance to sustain life here. He is love and He is light. God is a spirit and not visible like the wind. You see His cause and effects but not Him.

[emphasis mine]

Could you please point me to God's cause?

Funny, I thought you just claimed that he is the first cause. But now he is caused himself!

The Emperor's New Clothes.
It's a story that well describes religion.
