Personally, Iv'e been through the highs and lows of my life, and personally came to the conclusion that the very god we seek, is actually us and live within us.
As a boy, I lost both of my parents to a accident on a motorway while my grandmother was looking after me, I grew up with my grandmother and she would always take me to church on sunday, I had a strong christian up bringing and although I tried to follow in the foot steps of god I found no satisfaction giving thanks to someone who I hadn't seen with my own eyes.
Carrying out research I went on to find that people like to repent before death, why might you ask, to give themselves self satisfaction I believe, and the so called people who receive these "Blessings" facing death smile as their actual mind is satisfied that they have brought peace before dying.
Moving onto another subject, I would like to also address the Bible and my thoughts on it.
I believe the bible shouldn't just be used in Christian beliefs as it was formed by many different men from many different walks of life, and these were formed many 100's of years ago, so why do we live by them today? I'm sure everyone will agree with me that the world is forever changing, and as shown by the approval of homosexual marriage within the grounds of a church. If this book is that, what we breath and live by then who are we to adjust or allow room for alteration to it? we are but mere "Men & Women".
The Bible is just a book in my opinion of norms and values of life that DO NOT and should not apply in modern day life, and should be seen as more of a history book rather than the way to live.
Back to my point about God, I strongly believe that god is us ourselves, the mind is very easily tricked and fooled, and I feel that your "prayers" are answered through persistence of believing in our mind that someone will be able to change the way something will happen by just thinking about it and talking to them. I believe that fate is something we make happen, we give ourselves the opportunity and our determination is left to ourselves.
Can you please leave some replies iv'e tried to sum up my views as small as possible as I don't want to write a book on this subject.
