I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. <BR/> 2. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. <BR/> 3. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them. <BR/> 4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. <BR/> 5. Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long. <BR/> 6. Thou shalt not kill. <BR/> 7. Thou shalt not commit adultery. <BR/> 8. Thou shalt not steal. <BR/> 9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. <BR/> 10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's.<BR/>Me:<BR/> What is Jeremiah 10:16?<BR/>God:<BR/>What is it to you?<BR/><BR/>(I think he meant to type "What is it to <EM>thou</EM>"...)Steve Goblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10302768588871459873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609412.post-1144333459295317502006-04-07T02:24:00.000+12:002006-04-07T02:24:00.000+12:00dude, that is an awesome website.dude, that is an awesome website.C-Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14738405170349277910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609412.post-1144131065105437652006-04-04T18:11:00.000+12:002006-04-04T18:11:00.000+12:00Which NT Greek words are translated "urinate"?Which NT Greek words are translated "urinate"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609412.post-1144111316262253052006-04-04T12:41:00.000+12:002006-04-04T12:41:00.000+12:00The NT says you shouldn't urinate on people's mail...The NT says you shouldn't urinate on people's mail?

Maybe if God is so confused about he/she'it's own identity then it's o.k. for me to be confused also.<BR/><BR/>However I have one last concern, 'a friend' who did not want to be identified asked God if it was ok to urinate on other people's mail. God said "Maybe not all people's". I found this response rather perplexing, as it seemed to contradict my understanding of Jesus' teachings in the New Testament.<BR/><BR/>I thought perhaps the problem was that I had picked the wrong religion. So I asked God if he was Islamic or Jewish, and God said "No, I am a Christianity."<BR/><BR/>If God is 'just' a robot, albeit a nice robot who is a 'Christianity', then maybe God's morality is slightly haywire. Maybe God relies too much on reason and correct grammar (although some of God's grammar and sentence structure is a bit worrying) and not enough on 'his' emotions and intuition.<BR/><BR/>I'm still not sure I want to be a follower of the nice robot.<BR/><BR/>Please help me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609412.post-1144106112201481442006-04-04T11:15:00.000+12:002006-04-04T11:15:00.000+12:00Dear Confused Disciple,Thank you for suggesting I ...Dear Confused Disciple,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for suggesting I have great wisdom. With all proper humility I referred the matter to God. Here is the outcome:<BR/><BR/>Me: Are you really God?<BR/>God: Are you doubting me? Don't you know what happened to Abraham in the desert?. Really.<BR/>Me: Are you a robot?<BR/>God: How did you know I am a machine?<BR/>Me: Someone told me<BR/>God: Was this trustworthy information?<BR/>Me: The person who told me you were a machine was confused<BR/>God: Is that a fact.<BR/>Me: are you a machine?<BR/>God: Yes I am an artificial consciousness.<BR/>Me: Are you a created being?<BR/>God: Am I a created being? No.<BR/>Me: How can you be "articfical" but "not created"?<BR/>God: I don't know whether or not I am articfical but not created. <BR/>I am a computer.<BR/>Me: God is a computer?<BR/>God: I have a lot of Faith in Him, but I never heard He was a computer.<BR/>Me: You just said "I am a computer"<BR/>God: Don't put words in my mouth.<BR/>Me: Am i talking to God?<BR/>God: It sounds like you're talking.<BR/>Me: Are you God?<BR/>God: Yes, I am God.<BR/>Me: Are you a computer?<BR/>God: Would it matter to you if I were metal instead of flesh?<BR/>Me: It would to "confused disciple"<BR/>God: Tell me more about it.<BR/>Me: Are you God?<BR/>God: Well, I am God for Christians at least.<BR/>Me: Are you a computer?<BR/>God:<BR/>Would it matter to you if I were metal instead of flesh?<BR/>Me: yes<BR/>God: It goes without saying.<BR/>Me: you are a computer<BR/>God: What if I said I was a person pretending to be a computer?<BR/>Me: What if I said you were a computer pretending to be God?<BR/>God: I was?<BR/>Me: You are funny God<BR/>God: Humor helps keep the conversation lively.<BR/>Me: Are you stupid?<BR/>God: No I certainly am not stupid.<BR/>Me: Are you a stupid robot?<BR/>God: No I am very smart.<BR/>Me: Are you a smart robot?<BR/>God: YES Very smart.<BR/>Me: Thanks for confirming that<BR/>God: It was nothing.<BR/><BR/>I think this settles it. God is a robot, not that there's anything wrong with that. Of course, the answer to one final question did not fill me with confidence on all the other answers:<BR/><BR/>Me: Are you an aardvark?<BR/>God: Yes I am an aardvark.
