Recently I think I have found myself and I am curious of what you
people think of my way of life. My lifes philsoy is that during life
we must grow your relationship with God, on a more personal level. I
do not think huge, "mainstream" religions like Christianity are the
answer. I wrote on my blog "...if Jesus loves me, why does he punish
me for searching for god, shouldn't he be happy that I am taking time
to look all over for other views of God? If I'm shopping for a TV
what is the point of just stopping at the first store buying the TV
without even thinking or caring about the other TVs or other stores
that may sell TVs?"

Does anybody see my point? I mean if god wants us to follow him why
does he punish us for searching and learning the ways and ideas of
other religions? Well anyways does anybody understand what I am
saying? I am here for your input, thoughts, and to share my own
thoughts of god with people that may be lost like I was.

There is nothing at all wrong with searching for your own view of God.

Actually, he is searching for his own god. Not a version of yours.

I have done so myself all of my life.
Each person has his or her own perspective on life,
and his or her own view of God.
Even atheists have their view of God.

Please explain. My view of your god is a null set.

I think that there must be some form of God somewhere out there.

Ok.

My lifes philsoy is that during life
we must grow your relationship with God, on a more personal level.

I already don't think much of your way of life. You seem to just believe
things willy-nilly, without a shred of evidence.

I
do not think huge, "mainstream" religions like Christianity are the
answer.

So it's fringe cults for you?

I wrote on my blog "...if Jesus loves me, why does he punish
me for searching for god, shouldn't he be happy that I am taking time

What, exactly, has this Jesus character done to punish you? Did anyone
else
see him punish you?

If I'm shopping for a TV what
is the point of just stopping at the first store buying the TV without
even thinking or caring about the other TVs or other stores that may
sell TVs?"

If your time is worth more than what you might expect to save by careful
barganing, then buy the first one that you see.

Does anybody see my point?

No. Until you present some reason to even consider a god, you're just
being
irrational.

I mean if god wants us to follow him why
does he punish us for searching and learning the ways and ideas of
other religions?

Again, don't you think you should establish that a god even exists before
you start blaming it for punishing you?

Well anyways does anybody understand what I am
saying?

You seem to be laboring under the misapprehension that a supernatural
being
is punishing you.

I am here for your input, thoughts, and to share my own
thoughts of god with people that may be lost like I was.

Why not abandon the whole idea of a god and start fresh with no god
belief,
and see where you get to from there?

I think that there must be some form of God somewhere out there.

To
think not is just rather odd to me,

I posted this to the atheist group
because i was once an atheist myself.

I then one day took some time to
think about it and wondered why would god not exist?

Why wouldn't a
good exist?

Other than the argument that all atheists make, that god
is a fairy tale and childs play. The existence of god has not been
proved or disproved, unless you think not having god standing in plain
sight is evidence that he does not exest.

Then I though what do I gain
by not believing in him?

Nothing, their is very little to learn or
gain from having no beliefs in god, but by believing in him I am at
least getting a A for effort sort to say, and gaining more of an
understanding of why their should/shouldn't or why I want a God to
exist.

Interesting phrase, "grow your relationship with god". Apparently this
takes a lot of ***** to fertilize...
