I do not believe in religion. I have not bought into the bible,
yet i believe in God. Some one once said it is because i spend so much time with nature. That nature brings people to God.........., but i have seen that an agnostic or atheist will do the right thing more often than a christian. A thought provoking post.

Thank you for sharing.
I find your beliefs to be very interesting.
The logic you use does make sense. God would almost have to be of both sides of the coin to some level, which would better fit much of what we see.

This is were I part ways with most "Christians"
Isaiah 45:7
"I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things." This obviously refers to reality as it is with both sides of the coin. Jesus is the saviour that chooses to take sides and promotes light over darkness and peace over evil. That is what Christianity should be all about in my opinion. So, in my opinion, if you realize that life itself holds all the opposites and you choose to promote the one side that can bring peace and harmony, you are acting in the true spirit of Christ. Those who create darkness and evil, even in the name of God, represent the devil, which is essentially one side of the coin called God and therefore they are choosing the side that Christ rebels against in the Gospels. One of the basic flaws in common Christianity is to view Christ as representing God in total. The whole idea behind the "Good News" was to show that we can choose and reap the products of our choice accordingly. I've referred many "fundamentalist christians" to the above verse and they all deny it's validity. The paradox is that they are the ones who claim that every single word and book in the Bible is the absolute and unchanging "word of God", yet they choose to vehemently deny that God is the creator of darkness and evil. What most people also do not realize is that there can be no light without darkness, nor good without evil. This means that God is ultimately Good in the sense that there would be nothing without the creation of tension/polarity and that God does not leave us ignorant of this, but shows us how to go about life in such a way as to reap the benefits of choosing Good. Trying to get people to at least see my and Isaiah's point of view often makes me even more unpopular with mainstream Christianity than an atheist. In their view, Atheists are simply ignorant and in denial, whilst I am inside the hall of believers, but instead of saying God is all good and that humans choose evil, like they say, I agree with Isaiah and they don't. I've been called a satanist by such and I actually find it pretty amusing and sad at the same time that people will keep on blaming humans for being human and then condemning their own prophets and their followers to hell. They judge and condemn. Once again that is the role attributed to Satan. They pretend to be the representatives of Jesus, but they are in fact the representatives of Satan and I bet when these read these words, all their pretense fall away and they become outraged and filled with hate and murderous thoughts towards me. I've seen this happen over and over from eye to eye.

Belief in such ideas really would make it all seem unfair on such a high level.
Maybe God is hiding something then by giving into Satan in this manner. What deal might they have made with us 'mere mortals' being their playthings.
I can see a story in that.

kooka_lives - and it is hardly fair when you consider that Satan used to be
an angel?
Like what chance do us mere mortals stand against an entity that has those kinds of powers?
