Yeah, it's about God (zaibatsu), 04/30/2019
------------------------------------------------------------
I present two opposing statements for your consideration:

1. I choose to believe in God, and will try to accept what
   God teaches and asks.

OR

2. I'll believe in God, if God teaches what I want to
   believe, and asks what I'm willing to give.

I'll add this personal statement of a certain belief,
indicating my own thoughts on the choice to believe in God
and what that means:

   No one may demand that I beleive what they say, or that
   I believe in a book, or any other earthly thing. I have
   the right and priviledge of knowing God myself,
   independant of anyone else, and believing what I learn
   directly from God. If God tells me that a person or a
   book is correct, then I must believe.

   God is all powerful, and can certainly give me a direct
   answer, I don't need to rely on any person or thing for
   that. People who demand that I rely on their word or on
   a book, removing God from the equation, are robbing me
   and denying the supreme power of God.

   Everyone has these same rights; I can not demand that
   anyone believe me, or a book that I hand them. Instead,
   God must work with them directly. I am in no way fit to
   take over that role.

Potentially offensive, I suppose, but no offense is
intended. I am curious what others thing about the above
statements.
