Otherwise, an honest and fair agreement is less possible.

Yea I could see your point ... God's a real doll.... LOL

Just curious .. didn't the Barbie come out in the fifties ....

I am pretty sure in the next century Barbie and ken won't even be discussed ...

I also don't believe it is a yearly topic in every ones house hold ..

Not too sure about you? .. I rather say God is real .. rather than a Barbie doll or some fairy tale ..

I really wish!!! if you are in dire straits!! please rely on a God not a Barbie doll ...

I can recall having certain arguments with old flings in the past , just women I met along the way. You could not tell them to be factual and for real, because you knew, you just knew, that their argument was based on emotions alone. But you have to know how to argue like that, you know, to keep up with them. Some believers in God argue like that, they get too emotional and angry, and that blurs their points. Because their belief, is so emotional. I don't think its anything wrong with a woman having emotional argument, or a believer being so emotional about God and their belief, but you have to be able to draw the lines between the two.. so you can lay down both a base of emotional content and factual content.

Some believers can bond together in emotional content, and really feel as if they are being factual about God. But we know that is not so. And it can be difficult in trying to show them any different. The woman will cling to her emotions, as well as the believer; and here we are stuck with the task of trying to wake this situation up.

The actual money, itself is merely bits in the virtual ether.I see lots of it every day. People like to pay me cash fairly often.

I would not say money has evolved. Money is man-made like furniture and furniture pieces do not evolve. I might say that our economy has changed into one where credit is now equal to money in a physical state.

Whether we see the actual money or not, it is reflected in our bank accounts or pay transfers, and yes, also by the things we trade it for.

Lastly, we admit that the concept of money is a creation of humans. We don't do that regarding most Gods.

I too would say yes he is, but I would word the rest like this;

God is real, we can prove it , but we don't know how to prove it to certain segments of humanity. We can actually prove it to certain areas of our minds , but yet not in other segments of the mind. I have an area of mind that no one but me has access to. I can see and comprehend false hood, actually measure the false hood even to the " Least", which is a superlative of " Little." I can get picky and place things in the lowest importance of rank.

Or, listen; in this section of mind, my Consciousness too can open and reality can meet spirituality, and I can " Get Idiom" , or a new lease on life! It is At these crossroads that my learning can give birth to science, education of any sort, but what has impressed me the most is when knowledge of human nature, met and mixed with science , psychology and spirituality; this gave birth to the beginnings of me.

God both communicates and understands any human he so wishes to do so. Although he is beyond us; way , way beyond us, he does not have to wait until we reach some level on our side, it is God who opens up those pot holes and enables he himself to understand any kind of human language conceived. God can read us all like a book.

One of the things I see in those who he communicated with in the biblical accounts , is that they had a " Desire" to reach God. They were highly motivated in their hearts to communicate with him. But now God also communicated with those who had no desire and could care less about him; so its mainly on God. We cannot limit how, why, or with whom God has communicated with. But once a connection has been made, the human always goes through a definite change, and their desire is then toward God; and their whole consciousness will have made a dramatic change.

Is God real? I can anticipate God, I can question him, I can sense God with multiple emotions. I can read about him, I can see evidence of him in the observation of the animal kingdom, I can see God through some science , I have been personally refreshed by him and inspiried by him. I understand the bits of archaeological leads that point to him.

Its not a cakewalk but it's a reality that is there for anyone's desire to get to these points and beyond. A serious search will yield results. Sadly many just have differing results.

To consider God is a challenge to the consciousness for sure. How can such a

Being exist and be so powerful? To think on it is

just very difficult, at least in my view it is. And God has not made it easy as he literally hides himself from humanity.
