Why would ANYONE want to meet someone who admits that his screen persona is a lie?
it's not a lie you super-nice person. I already addressed this.
oh, and by the way, to you and
@Isaac , and anyone else a little confused....do you guys think it's any surprise that certain groups of people (that I can see, are all like-minded people) don't believe in God (or anything for that matter) or anything religious oriented? I'm willing to bet that you, Richard, Issac and anyone else here that think like you 2, probably don't believe in God primarily because of any of these 4 things, or all of them:
1) your life experiences weren't necessarily classified as "loving".
2) you're so smart that you fall into the category of "people who know better and/or have reached the age of reason".
3) you've talked to way too many people on Earth who hide behind Jesus' name because they're scared to death to face the world with courage and/or don't want to deal with the manipulative and evil people that run the world who do not care about them.
4) you get seriously annoyed when you are approached by someone who wants to ""show you the love of Christ"" because they seem so happy that they literally seem fake. Either that, or you know in your soul that, based on who they are and that they are accepted in some parts of the world/in organizations where you are not, you get angry about it and prevent them from showing you that they really have good intentions and honestly don't think they are more accepted/more intelligent/better than you are. (lets face it, people gather together based on like mindedness/comfort level with each other in their interactions, and that will never change).
do any one of those describe you guys? I'm willing to be at least one of them does. I meet so many people on this Earth that, can be described specifically by any or all of those points. Now, I could care less, however, one of the reasons I exist and have come to be said to live the life I'm living now, is to encounter people like this and give them information and/or relay a persona to where hopefully they reconsider their beliefs into the true God and why he exists or died a long time ago and what the purpose of it was. Yes, that sounds like bible thumping, but of course it isn't. I'm willing to bet that I will encounter many people in the years to come, whether it is supposed to happen or not, that will be so taken aback by the truth I show in my words to them or the truth of the life I live, proven by many factors and scenarios I won't mention here, they will start to ask themselves ""wow, he's a nice person"", or ""I wonder what he meant by what he said"".
and you can bet your ass Richard, and all of you guys here, that the ""loving attitude"" of churches and that which is supposed to come from their members, will change as the future rolls on. Some churches will become less loving as the possibility of them getting automated out of their day jobs gets closer to a reality, thanks to the corporate people of the world. but that of course won't happen until the africans, hispanics and anyone else wake up and realize that they are the ones in the USA currently being targeted as easy prey to buy products that are advertised to them, without questioning it. I'm well aware of the fact that corporate America always wins, even if they have to kill/go to war over it. They've done it before, and they will surely do it again, due to their lack of faith in anything.
But, given the negativity I've just throw out there, I do have great hope for humanity at this point because it is becoming very evident that there is a HUGE movement around the world (maybe just in the USA, I don't know) regarding people wanting to cooperate with each other and make capitalism a more fair and balanced system, for many reasons that I personally believe. One obviously is that, since capitalism is now the ecnomonic system of choice of most countries of the world thanks to the injection/influence by the USA and it's massive amount of a greed-motivated attitude, people have become very comfortable with it and realized that, for one reason or another, it seems like the best system to live under and therefore they accept it as it is. Another reason too, is obviously that, the intelligent people of the world realize that if corporations don't keep bringing the money in, the system, as it is right now, will die. and of course, no one wants to die (they especially don't want to be poor) or become financially unstable because they're comfortable with their money. The 3rd reason I will mention, which is not the last one in my personal list, is that NO ONE in this world wants anyone else (especially a government) to set off a bomb out of anger over what corporations have come to make of this Earth and everyone on it. They've done serious damage, and of course the only reason is because of their own mistakes (which they never think about before acting/behaving). But then again, they never think about the consequences of their actions at the time they're doing them because they're only interested in the massive amount of profit making at the time they are behaving this way.
So given all that, and as a man of God, dare I say again that I'm sure people on this Earth will continue to cooperate with each other for a long long time because, like I said, every one of them are literally scared shitless of what the future holds. And that fear will not come to pass as a reality until the corporations have literally sold everything they possibly can to the ignorant general public and the concept of ""bettering life"" comes to a screeching halt. At THAT point something will have to happen, and no one really knows what that is. Whether it be Universal Basic Income for all because the corps and governments attract so much guilt for keeping all the resources and not giving anything to the little people, or whether it be a war between the different parties on Earth who have killed for money-making possibilities in the past, I have no idea. But if I'm still around when that comes to pass, I hope the event that does take place will be one that is as positive as it can be. But let us not forget that the end does happen eventually because people have no faith in God. That's why Christ died. There was only one purpose for it. and that is, people can't help themselves, just like you guys can't help yourself. and I don't blame any of you for it. All I can say is good luck to ya.
