The Voice of God

i love allegorical questions

WHAT YOU MEAN "ALLEGORICAL" ? DOES GOD NOT HAVE A REAL VOICE ANYMORE ? WHY YOU THINK OF VOCALS ONLY ? CAN MUSIC NOT BE SEEN AS A VOICE ?

If god spoke to people, I assume she (yes, god is a she) has a beautiful voice.

Similarly, she can see what we do, so I assume she has beautiful eyes.

I feel shortly I'm going to fall in love with god (maybe a love affair)...

on the contrary, the israelites were petrified of gods voice and asked that moses act as an inbetween.

That was the god they chose, and he was one mean sumbitch . . . they were right to be terrified.

I'm hoping that Francis will introduce me to his omniscient friend . . .

Rather YH`WH was the God of Jacob and Isaac and Abraham blah etc, they were born to him, rather than chosen by them, God had a prophecy to fulfill through them, he wouldnt have wasted his time if not for the Abramic covenant. Based on thier integration into Egypt, there would have been many more appealing gods to choose from, as on many occasions they did, such as Ashtoreth, Qetesh and Gareth Ba`al. God was only terrifying because they kept p`ing him off.

You savor your delusions, and i'll think my way.

The voice of god sounds remarkably like Cecil B DeMille. Next time they show The Ten Commandments on TV, watch it and learn.

The Voice of God is a radio station in West Texas. 50kw a.m

Turn your radio on
Listen to the music in the air
Get in touch with God
Turk your radio on . . .

Is this some kinky new fad? And have the Turks been approached about this?

A course not . . . you'd lose the element of surprise if they knew it was gonna happen . . .

"God was only terrifying because they kept p`ing him off."

Poor excuse. That's like saying my dad was only terrifying because I kept pissing him off. Being pissed is no excuse. When my dad pushed me down the stairs we call that abuse. When God burns an entire village we call that, what, fate? God's will? We hold people to a higher standard than we hold this God.

Another similar and equally funny aspect to the christian theology is that in the bible gods miracles were very extravagant and noticeable yet when you ask a christian for an example of a miracle that has happened recently they are petty and insignificant examples.

The reality is that god is a made up concept and one that many still can not seem to shake because they can not cope with reality the way it is.

That all depends on how you perceive justice. Your father does not have authority over your life, however a theoretical God would.

The question you raise, is "does God have the right to decide who lives and who doesn't" nothing more nothing less. The fact of the matter is that those that those who grant him the right to judge will say he is right, however those that do not believe he exists will be less inclined to consider him worthy to judge.

The part that I wont argue, is a theoretical God should he exist needs neither our acceptance nor our permission.

Didn't Jesus say, "don't look up, look in"?

Those who believe God speaks to them through the bible probably do not consider the centuries of political manipulation those texts have been abused for. Even if the texts of the book were originally God's own words (an absurd notion in my opinion) what does that say about all the christians who have modified and edited them to fit their needs? The original texts are probably nowhere to be found today, or perhaps they are one of the closely guarded secrets of the Vatican, those text they hold in their vaults with the justification that releasing them would be devastating to their religion...............

I think you will find that after Christ was crucified, God no longer spoke audibly to man as He once did.

I think you will find that once this happened :
- God no longer slaughtered people willy nilly
- extravagant miracles dried up (after the apostles left)
- God no longer spoke audibly to people
- God was no longer a fearful God, but a God of love
- Angels appear to have stopped walking the earth
- Giants no longer walked the earth (though apparently stopped before Jesus)

In fact, most any evidence of an actual God disappeared with Jesus...and arguably, also with the coming of science.

If god exists she would sound like...
