“We’re entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.”

Lol. Ready until we weren’t…

on the other hand, I’m always ready for God to fix all the other bastards.

I have experienced some that were ready one day and unready the next.

Well it’s hard for an imaginary being to work quickly and efficiently.

Well it’s hard for an imaginary being to work quickly and efficiently.

My faith in God and my faith that he is real and not imaginary is and has been as real as anything in my life.

My faith in God and my faith that he is real and not imaginary is and has been as real as anything in my life.

Faith is faith. Doesn’t mean what you have faith in is real.


That’s actually kind of the definition of faith. You can’t prove that it’s real. Do you have faith.

That’s actually kind of the definition of faith. You can’t prove that it’s real. Do you have faith.

Not trying, nor do I have to prove my faith. My faith is real and my faith that God is real and I put all my faith and trust in God and that is real to me.

It is no different than the faith you put in your opinion that God is imaginary.

You are entitled to your opinion and you are entitled to your faith. You don’t have to prove anything to me or anyone.

At least that is my opinion.
