Why not worship Hubert, the invisible dancing beaver deity?

I know exactly what you mean , and how you feel.

after long time seeking , I found that people need God to justify their own bad actions , just like a trash can , where people put their trash away
or like a hanger where people hang dirty clothes

why do you ask others for a new God , find your own God in your heart , in your soul , not in churches and temples

GOD DOES NOT LIVE in a particular place , God is everywhere and and he is here with us all the time
he is here for me when I need him to answer my prayers

may my God hlep you find your own

For a fact that the christian God does not exist,if he does he is not competent enough to tell us about the dinosaurs and the oil in the earth before we find them.

Exclamation

I split the artistic derailment of this thread to Sufi Poetry so we could get back to the topic here.

Thank you,

What kind of help do you want God to give you?
You know, none of the Gods mentioned, will just "give" you things. You'll have to work for it. Maybe you should give up on Gods and just believe in yourself.

Yours is a funny statement. You sound like you're about 2 years old. hee hee

There was a story on NPR this afternoon on a new religion called: Volkswagenism. Apparently you worship your Volkswagen Beetle. And now that I think about it, Beetle's don't break down as much as other cars; they are quite reliable - more so than the Judeo Christian God. I think the ancients indeed may have been correct about animated gods living in various woods and streams or what not. Only now they live in machines that control are lives. Got a problem with your computer? Try sacrificing a chicken to it. Talk nicely to your car and see the results. At least it knows it's loved. In any event, try this link out:

Volkswagenism

My wife worships me, and she gets results. However, I am a god that wants something in return for what I give, at least some of the time. You can send me an email with an offer of what you are willing to give, and tell me what you want, and I may be willing to help you out. Of course, I won't give you what I give my wife, but that does not mean that you may not worship me.

Serious emails only, please.
