BUT thats the thing its not about being obedient. Its about WANTING to do the right thing because its part of your characters, your nature. Its not about subduing yourself and making yourself do something. Its because you truely believe it is the right thing to do.
That is why we are here, to grow to the likeness of God. Yes our souls are in his image, but we are a long way off his perfection.
It is the nonbelievers who are brainwashed. They rely solely on scientific proof

Dude, I just so happen to not believe in the existence of Leprechauns. Can you explain how, because of this I'm brainwashed ?
Yes indeed, a reasonable thinking human being would be somewhat reliant upon proof for the existence of leprechauns.
May I assume that, as you do not require evidence that you believe in leprechauns ?
Leprechauns have been written about for a very long time by your standard of reason they must be real ?
Why do you counter a logical argument "Science" with an illogical rebuttal "Heart washing ".
You appear to be mocking science, yet it was science that made the observation that contrary to what your god has to say, the earth in fact goes around the sun not the opposite.
It is the same scientific method that fails to find proof of your god that proved "beyond reasonable doubt" that the sun is the center of our solar system and not the earth.
when you visit a doctor it is the same scientific method showed these doctors that bacteria and viruses were the cause of your illness not demons .
Are you honestly implying that tamiflu should be replaced by an antidemon drug ?
What if Leprechauns were victims of Christian genocide because they were nature lovers? I mean, as dastardly as those Christians are they may have killed off every last gold-loving Leprechaun!
please, don't insult me by comparing The Lamb who takes away the sins of the world with a leprechaun. I implore you to act your age not your shoe size. DID A LEPRECHAUN DIE FOR YOU?

Hey. I had a vision. No joke. I told one of the other posters about it in a U2U, but it was a total full-on vision that almost seemed like the Yeti Song from Mighty Boosh.
*does another jaunty dance*
I saw that we choose somehow to create what we think of as reality

Many Jews never say the name "God" nor do they ever fully write out the name of the Holy One so it is written "G-D".
This is out of respect and also fear of committing blasphemy.

Kind of ridiculous when you think of it,
I'm now writing a letter about my dog and as hard as I try I cannot avoid thinking the letters "D" "O" "G" when I type d_g.
My d_g reads the letter "Dear D_g -----" and also reads my mind (my d_g can read all minds he's omniscient) he knows I'm talking about him and writing about him and observes that I have misspelled his name.
My d_g is also omnibenevolent so is totally perplexed as to why I would think I could possibly offend him by thinking about him.
My d_g conclude that I must be suffering the same illness as the artist formerly know as "Prince" (a d_gs name no less) in that a person can somehow trick themselves into thinking about a squiggle instead of him.
What is it with religious people, why do they adopt such lunacy do you think ?

Didn't the jesus character describe this ?
"Faith the size of a mustard seed" He would appear to be saying here "Hey stupid you either have faith or you don't, truly believing something very insignificant and small is no different to believing something really big "
If you prayed and asked jesus to heal your rash and he did, then all you have to do is exchange rash for amputated limb, the result will be the same unless you don't believe it will.
If over 1 billion people expect,war, death,destruction and fear, must abound before their Messiah returns. Guess what their going to get whether the dude returns or not ?
It would appear that your vision exists in your reality but as there would appear to be no reality anyway, then it doesn't really matter.
Why do you spell god as G_D ? This is one of the weirdest things I've come across. If yahweh jesus, zeus are real do you not think they would know who you are referring to ?
