I have deliberately remained quiet throughout the past few pages of back and forth (There's-a-god/no-there-isn't) discussion because, really, I have no profound insight that hasn't already been said by myself and others.
But here is one morsel that I would like Judeo-Christian believers to ponder:
If...IF...you really want to lead people to your god, how about acting like your god makes you happy?
I don't just mean the kind of even-tempered, life-is-ok kind of happiness. I mean the over-the-top, jubilant, outragious kind of happiness that little kids get when they are at Disneyworld!
According to you, you have the answer to life, right?? You have THE numero-uno savior of mankind, right?
THEN ACT HAPPY!
Because what most of us non-believers see are mopey, gossiping, crabby old farts and fart-ettes who have about as much enthusiasm as I do before a dental visit.
I know that life is hard for you too. You have bills to pay, cranky bosses to please and hormonal teenagers to endure just like the rest of us.
But if you TRULY believe that you are a "child of God" then how about acting like it?
