@paullacny You're a Jehovah's witness? Wow, you're even nuttier than the regular Christians. How many times have we missed Armageddon now?

Excuse me? It's only religion that trys to define what perverted is. I don't believe in your god and I have sex and I touch myself and I like boobies. There is nothing wrong with that and it's makes me sick that your religion trys to make people ashamed of being a normal, natural, human beings.

I am more moral then you are. I do good because I want to, not because I'm afraid of going to hell. You do everything for rewards and fear. You are immoral.

@wordavee no actualy he is. god is defiend as and direct qoute "antropomofical being, with magical powers and immortality independent of the form witch it mafiests it self". now, there are supernatural powers witch are not god, and are nonsentient and still responsible for creation of the world, like Tao aka ying and yang.

@hotmgi

Well obviously he is NOT human, if he exists.

[arcanestoner]

@hotmgi Then you're just another ignorant fool.

[sooshyiskool]

@hotmgi First of all, learn grammar. Second, you can't even describe 'perfect' because everyone has their very own image of your 'God', therefore he is a fantasy.
