The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. God never forces himself on anyone. Some folks have been enslaved to a rebellious heart that hates to rely on God but loves to make a name for itself. Sometimes I just shrug at the level of ignorance and bitterness exposed by some non believers on some threads. Always remember that the narratives of own lives end up shaping who we are and who we are becoming. A bitter life is a wasted life. Don't just spew venom on matters that you don't have an inkling to. I used to be in the same boat until I saw the light (Yes, the light and all its variations).You can too if you open your heart. I thank God for giving me another lease in life. Again, GOD CANNOT BE MOCKED.....I realize this is a rather bold statement for all you freethinkers but it is just what it is...DOWN TO EARTH COMMON SENSE. May the Lord thy God have mercy on you.
