There's absolutely no reason to watch your Christopher Hitchens videos. blah blah blah

and don't attack me like i'm religious please

remain loyal to the creator and proper moral alignment and you will be given immortality and power over those who prosecuted you. So that you too, may choose to prosecute them once the right has been given. But as mortals without proper moral alignment.

No one has the rite to judge another, Lest their souls be torn to shreds and devoured before the watchers. Who see all and know all humans do, By power of telepathy. They may not see what you are doing right now, but can read your mind and thus your soul when they are near, knowing all and seeing all.

Omnipresent, Omnicient. Power and immortality. Those who follow this path to join with the Eternal brotherhood in the sky and heavens ( Space) will be granted it. But loyality to the creator above all. Because reincarnating as a human is but a blink in their lifetime. And so those that are given such power must be obident, and non abusive of it. But that dosn't mean you should disrespect them. at any point at any time they could make your life a living hell through abuction, or Erase you from existance entirely.

That is the power of our creator, that is the power of our destiny as a space faring species. As it was fortold.

All too often I have heard 'That's not very Christian is it?' From people who aren't even Christian!

Just because they aren't a Christian doesn't mean they are not aware of the hypocrisy of those who claim to be Christian.

How many Christians actually follow, resist not evil but turn the other cheek, love your enemies, give to the ones who ask of you?

Most people claiming to be Christian do not follow Christ's teaching, but instead believe in yahweh the devil of the old testament who demanded war, blood sacrifice, and approved of slavery, or Paul who was an anti-christ who said Jesus was a human sacrifice to make yahweh happy.

Ignorance of the highest order and why not? Afraid you might learn something?

and don't attack me like i'm religious please

Not at all, the title had an exclamation mark so I merely added one to my statement of response, that's not attack and people have the right to believe in whatever they choose, no matter how ludicrous it is.

Your video is a good message in that it puts one's relationship to the Divine, first and foremost. If that turning to God is, as Jesus says in his first great commandment, constantly full of love for God with the whole body-mind, etc., then the heart is at rest in God and will inherently know the right action in terms of life, other relationships, neighbors, etc.

Your thread title implies something slightly different than what you say in the video. The title of the thread sounds a bit dismissing of one's neighbor. Though it is secondary to Jesus' first great commandment, he also said to love one's neighbor as oneself, as you mention in the video. So the title of the thread might have read better along these lines:

Please God first and fully, and loving one's neighbor will immediately follow.

Or something like that.

In other words, it is in our real turning to God that he grants his love to us and we then become capable of truly loving God and all others - and as you say, to tell them in a straight-forward and loving manner, whatever is necessary for them to hear.

This turning to the Divine constantly, also grants one the discrimination not to become a doormat, so it is not necessary to try and not be a doormat - it is only necessary to love God fully, and rely on his Grace and Guidance. In that fullness, you will not be a doormat.

That Grace infilling the whole body-mind awakens real heart-intelligence and you will know bs when you see it, and will appropriately deal with it, if necessary.

I learn from everything and I've already seen his videos. I mean you can attack anyone and you can have any opinion you want. I think inserting your own beliefs into a thread isn't necessary and throws off a thread. Why should I listen to the atheist preacher Christopher Hitchen and not listen to a preacher about religion?

Simply put because religion as it is sold today is a fraud.

I don't think anyone should buy a religion and if they did they would be very smart nor religious. Its funny how atheists are so unable to look outside the box just like the religions they vilify. I'm not drinking the other kool aid just because I may not agree with it I'll just sit on the fence and watch you all talk S&&& about each other

Probably because most of us were brought up knowing about Christ and Christianity, and once we learned more than what our clerics were telling us (or others) and started looking into it, we figured out it's a sham.

We actually know MORE about Christianity then many Christians about what supposedly Jesus taught, and it was Socialism, Acceptance, Austerity, Peace, and Tolerance; but more importantly, "You can all do what I have done and more. You are all 'gods' [parts of God]"

Get off your exclusive horse and join the people who aren't sucked into your cult.
That's what "God" wants.

The seminal problem...revolves around a personal, psychological ploy, that certain individuals practice without the acumen to discover its relevance to thier behaviour.
...namely (and as the OP title states 'Aim to please God')...best represented by more direct questions...like - How would I know if God is pleased?...Jesus, pleased?...

What exactly can one say to the question, Did God 'like' that?...Jesus 'like' that?...without handballing the question to a fabled 'personal relationship' that cannot ask a 'personal' friend, a personal question, and get a 'personal', unambiguous, textless, response...immediately...

Posters are more loathe to 'speak' on behalf of other posters, than they are to 'speak' on behalf of God/Jesus...or, what God/Jesus 'likes', or 'thinks'...They are not around to credit or discredit the response...personally...so, literally, anything can be said - and usually is...
