>our god totally showed up as written in these old stories that have been passed around through countless generations so they're utterly true and accurate
>he hasn't shown up since then in all of recorded history... but there's no way the stories could be fake he's totally real bro
christianity is just Operation Trust: The Religion and you're a retard for falling for it. just keep trusting his plan though.

uhhh... He already laid set all the stones, history is cyclical so if you wanna contact Him all you have to do is open your heart and read the bible, once you make contact youll understand every word i wrote on this post


everything said in the bible will resonate with current times because its God speaking to you... but all these 'current times' things are minimal when you are in contact with God, those things dont really even matter to me or concern me. i only post about this because you guys care.

real contact with God allows you to have an elevated consciousness because you become his vessel, you learn from watching Him use you. the more you have contact with Him, the more youll learn and understand...

I've been reading the bible on a regular basis for the past four or five years and the more I read, the less sense it makes. The more I understand what Christian beliefs are based on, the more I go 'how the fuck can anybody believe this? It's so clearly man-made' 

I've reached a point where I no longer feel angry, I just feel sad for the people who are dull enough to base their entire life on some old texts that are 100% recycled paganism

Anon the bible makes no sense because the mainstream bibles have been mistranslated to uphold mainstream dogma, for example there are over 20 bibles that do not teach eternal torment, however they are obscure, see


Anyhow check out the concordant bible translation 
Concordant.org 

and one of the other translations listed in the post I just referenced

And then check out the links

Even the original bible doesn't make sense. Here's an example.

Imagine you're a gardener. You have a thousand seeds, and your goal is to have an orange tree. You have at your disposal 1000 pots. Where would you plant the seed? In only one pot? Wouldn't it make more sense to put a seed in every pot? 

Now, you are god. You have a message to tell. You have a hundred nations and a thousand cities. Where would you deliver your message? 

The Bible is a small story turned epic. It's a fictional narrative that historically was allowed to grow, with the help of kings and powerful men who saw that it could be useful for them. That's all there seems to be to it. The more I read, the more I realize how narrow-minded the Bible is. How human, how fallible, how down-to-earth. It's not a narrative about the universe, about the big questions of life. It's a human story about coping with the immensity of the cosmos.

Anon, there will come a day when God reveals himself to everyone

One day he will set up his kingdom on this earth

Right now he is still training up the administrators for said kingdom

When he is done recruiting and training his administrators then the kingdom will go live and everyone will know God
