Your Affirmative Prayer for Thursday, May 27, 2010:
I cannot see God, for God is Spirit and Spirit cannot be seen directly. However I do see clearly the proof of God all around me each and every day. The evidence of God is in the magnificent design of all creation, animate and inanimate-- in the flowers, plants and trees; in every animal, the fish and the foul. In the awesome faces of the diverse peoples of the planet. In the mountains, oceans and skies. In the sun, the moon and the stars. Yes only God, Supreme Intelligence could possibly create the magnificence in behold in this wonderful experience called life. God is present. God is now. And so it is.
See God in all of the magical creation of life,
Barry Johnson

Give me a break. Do you see god in the AIDS virus or the Ebola Virus, do you see god in malaria too? What sort of intelligent being creates lifeforms that have only one purpose, killing other animals specifically man in this case.
Before monotheism was the accepted theology there was polytheism and guess what their gods were, the sun and the moon and all the other nonsense you attribute to god. You went to Yale and Harvard and still believe in this garbage?

What mankind sows he reaps. GOD is SPIRIT and NO disease came from God! God gave mankind everything necessary to thrive on this planet. There was a time when the water, food, and air was PURE, and PEOPLE lived HUNDREDS of years. What happen?
Mankind started polluting and misusing what God provided. WE pollute our water, and WE participate in every immorality under the sun, and WE abuse and misuse our bodies and our envoironment, and then WE have the nerve to blame God for the results. WAKE UP! Due to greed, ignorance and trying to AVOID GOD in every area of our lives, we REAP what WE have SOWED.
God made man to be the caretakers of this planet. What have WE done with this care? Look at what BP just did. Now they are trying to control BAD engineering that's devastating the waters, marshlands, and wildlife in the Gulf. Radiation and magnetic fields generated from cell phones and every electronic technology are harmful at certain levels. WE exceed those levels everyday. WE now have genetically engineered food on every shelf in the supermarket. The negative health results are coming from these technologies. Notice how small the vegetable section is in your local market compared to the processed food areas. WE have growth hormones, and antibiotics in almost every meat and dairy product, and the FDA made companies that DID NOT use bovine growth hormones remove warning labels from products to be fair to those farms who did. Why? Now, companies are actually getting patents for GMO(genetically engineered) seed. Why?
WE the public, the FDA, USDA, and other regulatory agencies are allowing corporate coruption and greed to ruin our health worldwide. WE are all responsible to various degrees. DON'T BLAME GOD FOR WHAT WE DO TO OURSELVES!
Because of decades of political coruption, the good people in Kingston, Jamaica are under seige and facing death everyday to bring one man to justice. But whose responsible for what this man was allowed to do. GOD didn't do this. Mankind developed nuclear weapons. Now WE are trying to control the devastating possible effects of a nuclear device getting into the wrong hands. It's only by the GRACE OF GOD that we haven't destroyed ourselves yet.
There was a time in recent history, when cancer was rare. Only 1 in 100 people ever developed cancer in the 19th century. In less than 150 years that disease has gone from 1 in 100 to 1 in 4 or maybe 3. What has changed? WE HAVE CHANGED. Though we are growing in medicine, we are growing faster in arrogance and ignorance in other areas, which creates a need for better technology. Why are we still trying to find cures without vigorously attacking the cause? You know why, GREED. It's all about money, and human life does not matter if it blocks the flow of cash.
We all need to eat food, drink water, and need shelter. It's very simple. Too many books have been written on the subject of nutrition. It amazes me how tolerant our bodies are to the variety of ways WE abuse ourselves. We had more trees and plants our planet in past centuries, and very little food processing. As we lose trees, we lose oxygen in the atmostphere. Places with less trees also get less rainfall. There is nothing lacking on this planet to take care of its people. Lack is something mankind creates because of selfishness, control, and greed. The bible says that God made plants for food and medicine period. Many years ago societies consumed more fresh food, because we did not keep things for weeks in a refrigerator and there was no need for a long shelf life. Early in mankind's history, we didn't cook anything or only meat. But there was a time when people didn't eat meat. We lived hundreds of years. Cooking kills enzymes and most of the nutritional value in foods, which our bodies need to use the food we eat. So, our bodies have to work to produce the enzymes necessary to use the food. The animals we consumed in the past ate a much cleaner and better diet also. The plants eaten were organically grown. We had more oxygen in the atmosphere and the ozone protection layer above the earth was greater. We had not overdeveloped the land, even though WE still polluted, enslaved, and did all of the other kinds evil. God has been tolerant and allowed us to discover solutions for our ills and ways to help minimize the damage WE have done to ourselves and our planet.
There was a time when millions died after surgery simply because WE didn't keep the operating instruments and our hands clean. The medical establishment fought the doctor who discovered the problem, which cost more lives. There was a time when heart surgery was not an option. Doctors ignorantly believed it could not be done. The cures for almost every disease was fought by someone. Today, the FDA won't allow valid studies of nutritional support and cures for various diseases. Why? Pharma companies could be hurt by such research, which cures they know exist. Now WE get(breast, butt, lips, etc..) implant surgery to enhance what God made us to be. Surgery does and can kill an otherwise healthy person, but WE do it anyway. Why? Did God tell us to do this? WE are like the child that does everything his parents told him not to do, and then when it's time to pay for his misdeeds he cries to mom and dad for help. Disease, famine, and all other malady that has plagued mankind are a result of what WE have done to ourselves. It takes more FAITH not to believe in GOD than to believe. I know that the God of the christian bible is GOD, and not because of what I've been told. I didn't seek God, he sought me out. And this comment is a way for Him to reach out to you and others who read. Anyone who can look at this planet and all of creation, down to the DNA level and not believe in God is a fool. I challenge you anyone to read the christian bible( New King James or New American Standard) for 40 days, and attend a christian bible reading, believing, and actively practicing what they preach, church and tell me God is not real. The experience will renew your MIND and change your life. God will make you accountable for how you live the life he gave you. We are here to serve each other, and if you embrace that truth God will show you the way. Remember, people have worshiped the sun and everything under the sun, trying to find the SON. Jesus is real and will infuse life into the life you think you have. WE can't AVOID GOD daily and wonder why he does not correct or save us from OUR bad behavior.

Why do black people love the white man's god so much? The same way you guys think that Hindu gods are not real is the same way I look at your christian god as not being real. I've read all the King James Version propaganda and I'm not convinced. There is no god, never has been and never will be.
