god is a figment of your imagination, people need the feeling of comfort
i don't consider myself weak, false comfort doesn't make sense

This is to the kid.Whether you believe or not, you need to be careful what words you use when talking about god.Some people believe and it is okay if you don't, but you are using some pretty harsh words.I know you were not raised that way.

Razz... I appreciated the straight forward honesty and intelligence in your post.
It doesn't take a lifetime of church to understand the bible.

I always thought if you lived by the Ten Commandments you were safe . What do you all think ?

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS -- EXODUS 20:1- 17
1) "Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
2) "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image,"
3) "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain;"
4) "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy."
5) "Honor thy father and thy mother:"
6) "Thou shalt not kill."
7) "Thou shalt not commit adultery"
"Thou shalt not steal."
9) "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor."
10) "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house,.....nor anything that is thy neighbor's

all i'm gonna say is anytime you think you're safe, read deeper and you'll see the small print

Honestly...How deep has it got to get? I think it's pretty basic. Sometimes we make things more complicated than they have to be.
