God loves me
A religious person draws his/her strength from the conviction dat there is a super power (GOD) who is just and wise and who controls our destiny.
That applies to me also
Now all the great thinkers ……the wise men (?) may consider GOD is a myth…the opium of the masses…..
That is OK with me….. for I have seen GOD in action in my life…. I have seen my emails bounce…then I edit the mails and it goes through… I have seen times when I was dead broke…and I get an income tax refund… my wife has seen this happen…but she rationalizes,….. she tries to find logical explanations. .logic is the creation of the human mind…logic is a myth….
An invention can only be as good as the creator of the invention…
My image of GOD…. whom I refer to as Jesus…names, ..identification labels don’t matter here …u may call Him Allah or Ram or Bhagwan…. He don’t give a damn….
I refer to Him as a classic joker….He makes me see sense by joking with me…… when I get pompous… he lets the air off…. And I stand deflated… like a punctured balloon.... or like when the effects of the Blue Pill wear off…
Jesus (my image of GOD) has also experienced the human condition…... He experienced the pain and suffering…we mortals undergo…He experienced betrayal…. 30 pieces of silver……
So brilliantly portrayed in the passion of Christ……
My image of Jesus is that He is merciful….and does not condemn sinners…He gives them a chance …again and again… to repent ….and to come back ….to the narrow path….. but He gives us the freedom of choice…..
God loves sinners ….. the human mind cannot accept dat…..
he suppped wid tax collectors…
he loved Mary Magdalene ,…the sex worker…..
He says there is greater joy in heaven over one repentant sinner…..the lost sheep……who has returned to the flock…….the prodigal son……
Dat is a very comforting tot …
no matter wat I do …wat I say…the gate is always open…. He never closes the door…. He hurts bcoz i have been wayward….but he waits patiently…he hopes dat one day I will see sense …and return back…..
But He wont force me2……
Jesus is very different from the GOD of the Old Testament…
the old Testament is an obsolete document….. the old Testament wanted us to be God –fearing….. Jesus says God is yr loving father….
I LOVE U JESUS…..

Absolutely agree with ya there Sabzz! Great post.
God never punishes nor tries to scare us...He is loving and forgiving unlike the human being. It's people who punish their fellowmen. Me being half Hindu and half Buddhist, been educated in a Methodist school and my best friend being a Muslim girl :) I have exposure to all religions and I consider myself blessed for that. I believe God is one whether Jesus, Rama, Allah or Buddha...and He wants us to do one thing and one thing only...LOVE one another...but see how such a simple thing is unattainable in today's world?
Keshi.
one more point...what's sex got to do with God? Are you trying to convince yourself Saby that what you're doing is acknowledged by God? LOL! Hell no swt hrt!
Keshi.
now dat we has renewd de tenancy agreement...heres wot i think of dis blog..
Sex is a collison of two people....and GEETA disapproves nee such thing...
PS: i love geeta's son...
@saby- been getting a lot of misdirected comments because of a couple of comments i left about you... like i always say.. if you don't want to hear the answer.. don't ask the question ;).. so good luck and god bless
kan
ps: how do you know my sister's name is laura?.. she never uses it on the blog.
..i thought i'd get annoyed with you... because sometimes.. well you just don't have a clue.. and you can be REALLY big on miscomprehension... maybe you didn't have your reading glasses on that day...i don't know.. :)but i'm not annoyed with you...just a sort of losing of interest..
lol... you do go on about something sometimes...
am trying hard to be offended.. losing battle..wish i wasn't losing interest :(.. i did like you so..it's just that you write really big posts these days..
something i think you'd enjoy...:P
you're offensive [i convinced agony aunt that you were].. so saby now=pained expression
it's a good thing you're funny too.. misguided as hell.. but funny..
saby nos all ...and tells all ... saby has no fear ...no shame ...
it is sad but very soon love turns into hate .....
and vice versa ... like it happened wid TANVI ....
..i said i was losing interest in your writing..didn't say i hate you.. how self absorbed are you anyway?....[don't bother answering]... would it be easier if i typed everything in caps... might not help the miscomprehension part [what's with that anyway?]... but it might be the cause of it... or you could save me the trouble and just fix your reading glasses.. they're obviously broken...*special smile for you*
you like sour-sweet?... i like sour-sweet
.. i yelled because.. well when you don't know what your talking about, you shouldn't... and you did... and this time it wasn't even funny so it was pointless....
sorry i yelled ..i still like you.. and i guess nothings going to change the fact that your a funny old man... [look who's going on about something now]
Citrus babe
ur confused and ur confusing me ..
tu maka mog kortai ... ki na ?
maka zai...zai...
tujhe mog !
..you don't say nasty things to people who are older than you.. and even if you do you apologise...
you just don't understand.. so i'll explain.making fun of other people is fine..making fun of mangeys go right ahead..everyone could use the entertainment :).. make fun of not so little girls and north indian boys[* both thumbs up* for the north indian ;)] and me...fine.... but i draw the line WHEN YOU TRY TO MAKE FUN OF A CHILD [A LITTLE BABY BOY] WHO IS MENTALLY RETARDED.... just because you proclaim to everyone that you're a moron doesn't make it okey to be one.if agony aunt asked you very politely to leave and never come back would you?.. you're starting to leave a bad taste in everybody's mouth... i used to think that funny made most things acceptable.....hey, i changed my mind[..not when it comes to children...espcially children who can't defen themselves].... what you need is a life... early retirement definitely wasn't good for you.
citrus
