Question for believers
What do YOU do for god?
shareI buy all his records and have his posters on my wall.
It's what a true belieber does.
What? Shut up.
Is it possible for a mere mortal to do anything for God?
shareOf course! :D
shareLike what?
shareAt least try to follow His teachings and turn away from doing bad things, but it's really hard. Every day it's a struggle against one's own nature and wanting to give in to doing what you want, rather than what's right. Often followers fail in these struggles, though it's not the end of the world if they do. Everybody stumbles when on the path to trying to do better. It's harder when you don't have a group of friends of the same faith to look to for emotional/spiritual support.
Having faith is also important. It's not enough to pray when times are bad. You should pray in thanks when times are good too. Trying to help others and put their needs before ours is also something we're encouraged to do, but again, it's not easy. Sometimes people don't want help, despite needing it. Or sometimes you don't have the means to help. Again, it's really difficult, but not impossible.
Mere mortals (followers) do stuff for God every day, but a lot of people either ignore it, or think it has no effect on the rest of the world. Even one random act of kindness can have some kind of effect on the world, whether the majority knows it or not.
Learn the truth, learn to see things most people can't, learn how to protect oneself and fight the evil within and without. We're in the middle of a spiritual war, one that has been going on for longer than this planet has been around. Most people are not even aware of it.
shareAre you Christian?
shareTry not to hurt or upset anyone.
shareI don't believe in a "god". I used to be a Catholic when I was a kid until I realized that all religion is weird. Since then I've been an atheist. I don't care what other people believe, that's their choice. I always thought of religion as a community of people with the same beliefs. I prefer logic and reasoning.
shareFair enough, but in what way is all religion "weird"?
shareI don't do anything for god cause I don't believe in religion cause I know it's man-made.
The bible says I should tithe; god doesn't need money.
Man cannot know god's will. Bible was written by man so, why should I follow it or any religious book?...
Exactly!
shareNo, you can't possibly know that all religions are man-made.
The tithe was not for God per se, but for the priests and the poor people in the congegration.
