No. This guy, as good as he may be on this Earth has consiously decided not to believe or have a relationship with God, so in that sense HE made the decision. Therefore, he condemns his self.
It would be like me handing you a wrapped gift (full of $10 million worth of gold. You can choose not to open it and it will be there unopened unused. You will suffer the consequences of not opening it by not reaping the benefits of the gift, riches for a lifetime.
Same thing with God. If people choose not to accept Him, they choose not to "open the gift" so to speak.
Ok, to tell you the truth according to what i believe in..
That gift, is in every one, if you believe in god, or not.
It's the spirit and we all know that here.
We all have that spirit, otherwise we wouldn't even exist.
I believe in me, said that before and i still do.
And whatever the name is, that gift is the spirit.
Why should i start to believe in god, as seen as the almighty creator the one that rules the universe to get that gift, if it's already with me, as if HE decides where i'm gonna go...gimme a break here!
and yes, if that means i condemn myself, so what!!
I am responsible for my own choices and i'm comfortable with that.
If i have to blame someone at the end of my life because it was a mess?
I will not start to blame god for all of that, that's my own fault.
I could also say, that my spirit is god, my guidence, afterall..it's energy.
Since i start to trust that gift, i realised it was with me all the time and that i just recently opened up for it because i finally believe in what makes me a human being. It's the energy we all have, some know how to use it, some don't. For many times, people asked me if i was gifted or psychic..i just know how to use it because i connect with it, i believe in my senses. It's all energy that i feel, i can't see it...but i pick it up.
Ok, that raises questions..i have asked them myself many times and i don't have an answer either. I just know i believe in what i feel, that's no proof at all BUT i know i can share that energy, i can make it go around, i can make it flow...i just have to open up and pass it on.
I know it's been passed on to me too and ever since i start to trust it instead of fighting it, i finally found something to have faith in and it's bliss! I finally have the idea i am alive, how silly that may sound to some.
Ignorance is bliss, indeed! I just trust it, i have faith in me...i stopped questioning or doubting it, fighting it and hiding it from others because i was afraid people would judge me for that or, to speak with my dad's words: say i'm a witch or a total nutcase for being able to feel what he couldn't feel.
So, what i basically did, i killed myself for hiding my spirit to others, so that they could not hurt me. And well, i had to learn it the hard way, i still got hurt regardless of what i was hiding.
It's just time to fly out with it and i no longer care what others may think of it, as long as i am able to feel it, they may think what they want! The most important thing for me is, i have something to share and that feels so good.. it makes me happy.
Afterall, i can not proof it, NOT in words but i feel it...and, as Dearth told us, in Confusius' words: It's the fasting of the heart!!
Well, that's how i see it.
Raise an eyebrow, speak if you got something to say or shut the fuck up if you want to judge me about it, had that, been there.. too much coldness and hatred where jealousy and oppression come from!
i just hit rationalism, indeed thoughts that come from the mind.
The mind is a wonderfull place, but useless without the heart, in my opinion. This here? Are just words, ramblin' out from the mind but mine finally connected with my body because i finally accept what has been given to me at birth...the spirit....LIFE
