8408, god and you.
Posted by praverbs, Thu Mar-28-02 10:36 AM
¿how do you relate to god?

have y'all ever met?

if not, is it because you don't think there is any one to meet?

or is it that you wouldn't care to meet the bastid?

do you call god "me"?

when i asked this question, did you say which one?

do you got beef wit god? the gods even?

personally i talk to God like i talk to my niggas. God's the big homie like that. he prefers i come as "¡I AM!".

*note: i don't want to hear about your religion, just your relationship wit god*

Okay, I'll give it to you. Technically you do meet the requirements to be here. But be considerate. Just because the sign above the express lane in Wal-Mart says "20 items or less" does not mean that you should take your 19 item holding cart to the lane and hold up the rest of us who only want to buy a package of toilet paper.

>¿how do you relate to god?

i just do. Always have. i've never had a doubt in the existence of a God/Creator/Source of All Being


>have y'all ever met?

hmm...maybe in a way. Like if i see a beautiful sunset or a kid smiles at me for no reason or some randomly wonderful things in life I attribute to "meeting" god.

as a child i used to talk to god all the time, for what it's worth...

let's just say i know how to listen when the universe is speaking.


>do you call god "me"?

i am a manifestation of god & god is manifest in me. but i am not, for all intents and purposes, god.


>do you got beef wit god?
>the gods even?

no.

dude...is this post supposed to be taken seriously?

cuz this part:

*note: i don't want to hear about your religion, just your relationship wit god*

brings on a slew of assumptions and ideological "narrowing" that would prevent alot of people from being able to answer.

just by saying "god" you limit responses to a certain group so as to make some of your other queries pointless and unanswerable...

i was just hoping that everyone could answer at least one question in some way.

i am interested in hearing from those that hold idealogical beliefs that stand independent of a god concept tho...how would you suggest the question could be stated while targeting folks personal feelings on the matter and avoiding dogmatic responses?

i wanna know how people feel in regards to spirituality (or whatever it shall be termed) personally, instead of institutionally, is all.

Posted by Utamaroho, Thu Mar-28-02 11:39 AM
this:

"how would you suggest the question could be stated while targeting folks personal feelings on the matter and avoiding dogmatic responses?"

is impossible. you'd have to find someone who THINKS for themselves and not been affected by religious dogma. for those in the "big 3" it's impossible only because everything they'd say to explain themselves would be rehashed from something they've learned and been socialized from the get go to believe...and thus not THEIR thoughts.

the whole "spirituality" thing is also a creation. more modern though... think about this: when you ask peolpe of their spirituality and they all give the SAME answer, would you not think that they've been tainted by the Oprah-esque new age rhetoric that's been happening lately? it's more "open" but it also has people trying to connect with ideas that they don't understand themselves. Boodah and i were talking of this in general (damn i wish i'd posted it over here) where peopl eget into this "spirituality" new age, "non-defined" ideology and just straddle the fence on EVERYTHING so as to avoid being contested on tier belief...also called "PC Religion".

i don't know HOW you'd phrase it.

since this is so, and i can't be all inclusive, the post stands as is then. i feel everyone can answer at least one question tho (they are pretty general) and define the specifics. if not...blame whitey for conditioning me to be so ideologically limited and not allowing me anyone who can help me expand my boundaries.

i believe in the One, and i know that the One believes in me, but i don't think i'm so special to be watched over by the One specifically...nah'mean?

i think God watches out for me thru the Holy Ghost...the Comforter..etc...i think maybe that's how God is ever present in all our lives, whether we choose to acknowledge it or not.

it's funny, a while back i was led through this journey of acquiring knowledge and i was shook, thinking that something was trying to tell me that God doesn't exist, but instead it revealed that God was much greater than i first believed and strengthened my belief.

but to feel the immediate presence of the Creator, i dwell among creation.

i'm sure there are other spirits about tho'. i just wouldn't call myself an animist.

>The questions you chose show your
>perception of "god" is still
>rooted in religion.

please tell me what religion? it's admittedly faith based and limited to the god concept (whether that god is one, many, self, or whatever...i just asked what the relationship was) but if you don't subscribe to either concept you coulda just answered the following:

>>have y'all (you and god) ever met?

as in, "of course, i am god"

>>if not, is it because you don't think there is any one to meet?

as in, "i haven't met god because i don't believe god exists"

>Truth 2 U

unfortunately, nope...I hear he's quite the character though.

>if not, is it because you
>don't think there is any

well...he's never introduced himself to me, so I live my life as if he isn't there. I actually don't have any idea on how "god" communicates. The only examples I've heard are indistinguishable from regular human emotions and thoughts in one's brain.

>or is it that you wouldn't
>care to meet the bastid?

depending on what "god" is. The God of the "Big 3" religions seems like quite an ass though...probably still a enforcer to have on your side though. Bob Probert even (if my hockey knowledge is correct)

>do you call god "me"?

lol, only when I'm whooping someone in a video game of some sort.

I talk to God everyday, just like I talk to anyone else, using blasphemy when I'm angry and not understanding things, thankful when things are going good and upset when things are bad.

But all in all, it seems as if I'm talking to myself so.........

I'm at the point of "I dunno" and I just live for the moment.
Funny thing my sister said after my mother passed away, "I'm ready for my time so I can be with my God(in Christian view)" and I thought about it, coming to the conclusion of not knowing what's after this life and I figured why rush it, just live your life on this earth til your time comes, so that's what I do.

no. not that i know of though. i remember telling my cousin that i could never be possesed by the devil or meet him (and know without doubt that its him) because then i'll get the complete proof that theres a god.

i dont know. there could be one but i dont know him/her so its kind of difficult to believe. i mean, why do i have to go about chasing after a god. he/she brought me here, i dont remember asking to be 'born'. so why put me here and have me running around after you. thats messed up

Ultimately, it's whateva your own perception is of what drives you to check your conscience/do good/play nice etc...

Love for Love's sake, be kind for kindness' sake. If there is a God, I hope they gon' be down with that, and that that's all they want from/for us.

I've always found it interesting that when people would post questions of this nature it came with the post script: I don't want to hear about your religion.

But I would like to know how can this question be responded in a truthful manner if that is the case? Isn't religion a means to return to a Godly state?

Isn't it true that the differance between man and beast is intellect? Due to this intellect man has to LEARN how to worship God, unlike the beasts of the world who know how to without being taught?

Just asking....
I try to respond anyway.... tell me if this is acceptable.

My relationship to God is that of worship. From the time that I wake to the time I slumber I worship God. This is achived by knowing my ends and reealizing that my means is a way to that end. More specificly I know that my goal is to meet God in a status of not oweing,or being responsible for negative actions, and having my good outweigh my bad. So everything in my life... every moment is a step towards that. Then it was a matter of making all my actions have intention.

But I am straying. Short in sweet... My relationship with God is that of worship.

I don't need god. I need myself. I don't need god in order to be happy. I don't need god in order to be a good person.

That's not to say I'm always happy or always a good person. But when I'm not, I need to check myself. Not check a book or check a preacher to tell me what to do.

Am I lost? I don't think so. Why would god create me, and then take away my ability to reason and act for myself? Why would god want to make a bunch of sycophants who can't cross the street without asking for help?

If god doesn't exist, I'm glad I have the self-confidence and power to rely on myself. If god does exist, I think she would be happy with my self-reliance and proud of her creation.

And if god is really like the asshole from most religious texts, scaring people into worshipping and following him, then "when I die, fuck it I wanna go to hell" (c) Biggie.

First off, I ain't a fan of any religion. I think the whole concept of worshippin' religions is just another ploy to keep us divided.

>¿how do you relate to god?
>have y'all ever met?

I don't think so.

>if not, is it because you
>don't think there is any
>one to meet?

Naw, I think there is a god. Maybe I'm just to polluted to come in contact with him. Who knows.

>or is it that you wouldn't
>care to meet the bastid?

Well, I have to admit that I have some issues with him/her. Sometimes I feel like god imposes too much sufferin' on some folks.

I'm just thinkin, "God, is it really that necessary?"

>do you call god "me"?

What? No way. I am far from bein' godly.

>divided we stand
>united we fall
>but if united we stand
>we won't fall, at all.

Ain't this ^ the truth.
