    A "relationship" with God?

    look, I'm angry. i'm dissapointed. I feel let down. I'm sorry if I should just shove all those aside and give God the benefit of the doubt, but to be honest, i'm not sure he deserves it. In all my years of doing that (giving him the benefit of the doubt), he never showed up. so why should he now?

    A "relationship" with God?

    if i've got a disrespect, it's because he's never shown me any reason to respect him.

    A "relationship" with God?

    again, please define relationship. in communication, do you hear his voice? do you see any kind of tangible sensory manifestations of his message? or is it all in your head? if so, (and i'd gladly accept even this) how do you know it Is God? how do you know it's not just your own desires...

    A "relationship" with God?

    why should I humble myself, when I spent literally years that way, and nothing came of it?

    A "relationship" with God?

    recongnize. meaning, I can see that it is god. not that he comes in a big ball of light. just that i'm aware of his presence. just that I know he's there, and loves me. if those expectations are too, high, then I wonder why I ever bothered looking for God in the first place, if he doesn't...

    A "relationship" with God?

    my expectation that God should communicate with me on some kind of recognizable plane is too high? man, God must really not want to strain himself.

    A "relationship" with God?

    alright, I'm not. i'm not assuming anything. I tried my best to communicate with the big man in the only way I knew how. It just so happened that the only way I knew how is the same, exact, friggin way that everyone keeps telling me to communicate with him. so maybe i'm just busted. maybe my...

    A "relationship" with God?

    well, i'm glad to know that people don't know how to read here on the internet.

    A "relationship" with God?

    although I appreciate what you guys have said, it's pretty much a reiteration of all those i've allready heard. yes, i said the sinners prayer, and yes, I really meant it. though I don't see how saying a couple words will magically open God's mouth more than years of devotion. well, enough...

    A "relationship" with God?

    alright, a term I hear often, and have used often myself. how exactly would someone define a "relationship" with an incorporeal being? In all my years as a christian, I never once went out to lunch with God, or had communication with him (note: communication with him means an exchange ie...

    an honest question. the fruits of the spirit.

    I'm going to reply in more depth later, but I wanted you to know that it wasnt untill recently that i regected the idea of belief based on faith alone.

    an honest question. the fruits of the spirit.

    yet in order for me to appreciate gifts as such, I'd have to assume a God. the logic is sort of circular, you know? In order to know God, you must already believe in him. how then, could someone discover God? How could one like me, who is seeking, ever find him? I'm not sure i'm willing anymore...

    an honest question. the fruits of the spirit.

    I'm not dismissing proof, let me elaborate. It was poorly phrased. I don't want to go from the bias and pressupposed notion that God is true, or not true. I want to be as objective as possible in finding my answers. Obviously, christians would like to have thier beliefs ratified, and...
