Suggested entry to Christospeak Dictionary:
"The Word of God" = magic like 'Abracadabra', anybody who reads the
pu****ted 'word of God' (claimed to be that bundled book of ancient
Israelite myths and Fables known as the Bible) will be instantly
transformed into a believer.
Of course before this magic works you have to, "Open your heart
to god" which is Christospeak for "you need to pretend to believe
and if you pretend to believe hard enough you will believe"
So, in order for the magic of the Bible to work you have to
suspend all common sense, stop thinking, pretend to
believe and you will start believing. (as written in another
post this god thing will then send you something called
the "Holy Spirit" which is this god thing anyway which
will give you the gift of believing itself). So, if you pretend to
believe you will be given the gift of believing (means you have
convinced yourself) and your mind will be so deluded as
to start seeing whatever you want to see.
Well no thanks, the first step to withdrawl from reality
and self-delusion is a semi-detached state that can only
leads to madness. Some of the Christians who post
here are clearly beyond half mad already and
completely detached from this world. I think I will
keeep my sanity the best I can thank you and cling like
mad to reality like my life depends upon it.

"Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment."
- Shakespeare Hamlet Act 1 scene II
here is the complete passage:
"Look thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unpro****tion'd thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar:
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them unto thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch'd, unfledg'd comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel; but being in,
Bear't that th' opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man,
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are most select and generous, chief in that.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all- to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell. My blessing season this in thee!"

Well said! This is why I am not a Christian swallowing your nonesense
whole just on your say so.
This is course something we constantly do here on aa and which
causes your kind the greatest anxiety. The thing you fear most
is doubt and that you might loose your 'faith'. Precious to you
but worthless to anybody else. Well, once again into the
breech dear friends (more of the bard :-)
Where is the truth of the Christian claim there is such a thing as
'god' (whatever it is supposed to be and that the Bible is its word)
Where can I find out this truth for myself? Where is the verification
for these claims? Simplying saying that the Bible is the word of
god does not make it so especially when this god thing has not
rises beyond the status of claimed. Thus far your unverfied claims are
indistinquishable from fantasy and an argument from ignorance.
If you wish us to accept your claim trhat there is something you
call god asking us to stop thinking and just swallow you nonesense
whole is about as far away from a search for the truth as it gets.

I looked up 'bless' in an ordinary dictionary. In religious terms it
was again difficult to pin down
Encarta says
make somebody or something holy: to bestow holiness on somebody or
something in a religious ceremony
"Holy" means - saintly: devoted to the service of God, a god, or a
goddess
So blessed means:
make somebody devoted to the service of god
In simpler term "May god bless you" = "may he make you his slave"
I will not respond in kind to you nasty curse.
