If we are to be close to God, we must first be dominated by Him. This means giving up all efforts to control Him and recognizing He owes us nothing, answers to no one, and lives above His own Law. God gets to break His own rules. He gets to change His mind. He gets to change course or covenant anytime He wants to. He created this universe out of nothing and can uncreate it anytime. He takes no orders from us. So is it ever appropriate for us to tell Him what to do? No. We all do, of course. Most Christians will spend their whole lives praying directive prayers like “God heal my mother, God comfort my friend, God help those people.”

"If we are to be close to God, we must first be dominated by Him."
If god can take the form of a beautiful woman, then sign me up.
Seriously though, why would an omnicognisant being change his mind?
Oh yeah and...
FIRST!!!!
I know how annoying that is, but I've never done it before and I wanted to get it out of my system.
Yeah, no. I don't want tho be dominated by anyone or thing.
Also I can live a life as God instructed me to and and any point He can change the rules and screw me over without my knowing? Why worship him again?
The more quotes I read from Anna Diehl, the more convinced I am that Lucifer actually won that battle between him and God for the throne of Heaven, and now the evil Lucifer is known as God while the good God is known as Satan. Because the god Christians worship always appears to be totally evil and Satan the good guy who wants everyone on earth to be happy.

Freudian slip much, Anna?
I have principles that are above your petty deity. No matter what its law tells me, since it is fundamentally hypocritical and inconsistent, I disregard it in its entirety. "Hell" be damned.
I don't care how "blasphemous" I sound. The only crime that is committed when someone blasphemes is the punishment meted out against the blasphemer. Man's law is above any god's law because man definitely exists.

In my particular Goomyist tradition, I believe that Gobs was made up by Arceus, the Anti-Goomy, and Stan was a failed attempt by Goomy to discredit Gobs. Jesus was then made up by Goomy to achieve the same end, but Arceus used Jesus for his own ends.

Why do you people love to think laziness accomplishes things?
