Posts from God... Truth or fiction?

Viz, I'll explain about the clot later, it requires some thoughtful writing, but as for pleasures, you completely missed my phrases about the combination of the base and the sublime, and regarding the idea that love for pleasure is a driving force—one could say that love itself is one of those pleasures.

The clot—fine, later then, so be it.
Pleasures and love. No, brother, love is not a pleasure. Meeting some "cutie" at a disco and sleeping with her—now that is a pleasure. But for love, people more often suffer than rejoice. Remember Helen of Troy. I don't think Paris was getting any pleasure seeing his compatriots perish because of his infatuation. I've already said, love isn't just "little kisses under the moon." It is always suffering, it is always trials. And that is correct. And that is beautiful. And that is how it should be.

I only believe in myself and in the Paladins.

I don't believe in God or paladins. I believe in myself, and I think that you can achieve anything on your own!

There is a God, and there are gods. There is a Creator, and there are those who shape destinies. Each has their own role to play. And whether you believe in God or not, He doesn't care. I recently read something by Ilya Novak (apologies for the imprecise quote; I'm trying to convey the meaning): We impose our own standards on the gods. We believe that a god can be offended like a count who is not paid homage by a peasant. And in doing so, we confine the gods within human limitations.
Think about it: how can a Creator be offended by His creation if it doesn't believe in Him? Do you get offended by your own poem if it doesn't praise you?
So, God exists, and gods exist. Everything exists. It's just that there are almost no people left...

Alexey, God never "takes offense" at anyone. Can parents be offended by their child? However, there is a punishment for wrongdoing. Of course, you can always ask your parents for forgiveness (confess or do something else), and they will smile and say: "We forgave you a long time ago! Just try not to do it again." There are also non-believers, teenagers, who think they are already adults and can easily manage without their parents. Even the devil himself is that very first disobedient child (although it's a bit more complicated), to whom some people go, ending up "in bad company." God never takes offense at anyone. Remember yourself as a child, when you upset your mother with something, and she said nothing. She sat by the window and was silent. "She's offended! Mom is offended with me!" Honestly, personally, in such moments, I just started to panic. In the end, the child couldn't stand it and ran to his mother. "Forgive me! Forgive me, please! I will never do that again!", and she would smile and say, "I forgave you a long time ago...";)

Do I believe in God? I don't know; I've always considered myself an atheist. But I definitely don't believe in Heaven and Hell. I don't believe in fate. I believe that everything that happens to you in your life depends on you and only you. Unfortunately, I don't know what Sigmund Freud thinks about this, but you can read what he thinks about such reflections below:D

I believe that it is wrong to approach God from a human perspective. And punishments are too human. Do you punish your own poems? So God acts differently. How? It is not for us to judge, not for us to understand. I live as I live, without looking back at accepted norms if I disagree with them. And I believe that I will definitely not receive punishment from God for this.

But a person is not a poem. The Earth is a poem, and a person is a hero of that poem. Moreover, God is one hundred percent God, but at the same time, he is one hundred percent human. It is difficult to understand this. To the atheistic question, "Can God create a stone that he cannot lift?" I answer, yes, he can. Because he is completely human, because he is completely God.

Well, I don't know. We shouldn't anthropomorphize something we don't understand. His strength lies precisely in the fact that he is not like us. As soon as we begin to attribute our human qualities to God (even if it's love), we deprive him of part of his power. It's as if we scoop water from a stream with a cup, encasing it in a shell, but depriving it of its fluidity. For me, God is like a river that is so unlike a human that comparison is pointless.

I believe in God. When I feel a little unwell, and the pills don't help, I kneel before the icon and say a prayer, asking the Lord to forgive my sins... That's what happened... After a couple of minutes, I felt much better.

Alexey, you are a believer, remember the Old Testament. God created man in His image and likeness. I understand this as image - appearance, likeness - human essence. Judging by your logic, no one living on Earth is a human being. Because every person is a world, and it is impossible to fully understand them, no matter how hard you try. Because there are no identical people. Even similar ones don't exist. Yes, there are people with similar traits and habits, but another person's soul is always a mystery.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16)

I am the light, but you do not see Me
I am the teacher, but you do not listen to Me
I am the truth, but you do not believe Me
...
So when you feel bad, don't blame Me (I don't remember the source of the quote)

P.s. The topic is very interesting.

I am also a believer.
I believe that everyone has their own God, and at the same time, He is one. I don't know how to explain it... And do I even need to? The main thing is to believe!
When things happen in life that you didn't even hope for, you realize that someone in heaven or on earth is praying fervently for you...

And there's also that amazing feeling when you enter a church. It's indescribable!

P.S. This post turned out to be a collection of fragmented phrases... just thoughts out loud.

But it comes from the heart;)

And also – that amazing feeling when you enter a church. It’s indescribable!

So, I’m not the only one who feels this way.
