I kinda assumed there was more than one god... you know, like the Pagan pantheons.

Me and JAG are Gods. We are what we think we are and so we are Gods. Worship us, like you do your other gods and you'll never have to worry about anythign again.

The Bible consists of:
The Old Testament:

The New Testament:

HEATHEN *ties up byz and burns him at the steak*

LMAO, Caesar, isn't that a little similar to what they did to Jesus?

What would Jesus do? Would he really burn me on the stake, or would he grab an officer of the law and give me some steak to take home? That is the question.

Physical Science (i.e. Biology, Physics or Chemistry and related sciences) proof is still awaited.

Seeking the Divine is not a task or something on a to-do list. It takes no more and no less than a lifetime, in my opinion. My suggestion to someone who (hypothetically) had asked me how to begin to search for God, would be:

Spend a week on your own in the wilderness. No phone. No human contact. Pray and meditate on the world around you and what it means to you. Consider the sincerity of your search.

Pick up the scriptures and have a read. All of them. As many as you can stomach. The Bhagavad Gita, Bible, Quran, Talmud. Consider their portayal of the creator of the universe, and how humankind relates to the Divine. Consider the conflict between them and examine the historical veracity of their claims, and the integrity of the messages themselves.

Pray and meditate. I don't think God is remote at all, She just needs to be treated with respect and sincerity.

But... I don't think many people have time for any of this kind of thing. After all, we have Playstation 2 now... and microwave burritos.

Case in point then, eh.

I'm not particularly interested in the dogma of organised religion myself, but this doesn't preclude me from having a spiritual life.

Religion and religiosity can be... pretty obnoxious.
