when God shows up

in order to lead sometimes one must follow at first.

No shit, Charlie.  You are just chock full of trite little sayings, aren't you.

It is amusing to see so many posts from someone with so lfew facts to provide.

Sorry, I don't' think anyone is choosing to follow you.  But yes, one has to be aware of the G-d that is already here/now.  It is a matter of perception.  A materialist has a stilted perception, that everything is ... material.  If all you have is a hammer, then everything must be a nail.  However since perception is partly subjective, partly objective .. there is no possible agreement, except between empirical rationalists.  This excludes the majority of us who are un-empirical irrationalists.

I have hammers a plenty I also have several dozen other tools at my disposal as well. 3 of you are nail and thus get the hammer more often than not. however I have run across several other fasteners and used the right tool for the Job. as a result i have in two1/2 weeks have several hundred exchanges with people who 'follow what I have to say.

I know that does not fit your narrative Mr. Sadducee, but so what... Can't we all just get along? I am not nor will I ever fish in your lake of OT Judaism and your nonquests for non followers.

I have quoted and cited at almost a 2 to one ratio, and 100% of the time provide citations when asked for them. I don't all the time because the weak minded would then accuse me of preaching!

So you're choosing to follow an atheist you met online...?

[Mike Cl]

He is so so stupid that he is beyond any use, even as a chew toy.  I'm done with this sewer fountianhead of filth.

I have him on "ignore".  Just as I generally ignore the JW door-bangers.  More peaceful that way, and I talk to a better class of primates.

I Do to a degree.

You seem to answer to an aweful lot of posts from me... even though I have been placed on your 'ignore list.'

[Hakurei Reimu]

You've obviously never used the ignore list. Your posts don't vanish from sight. They're just compressed into a little message: "You are ignoring this user. [Show me the post.]" Clicking on the bracketed text expands the post.

It provides a layer of shielding between you and the undesirable.

Was that advice aimed at anyone in particular?

[AllPurposeAtheist]

Yeah, God's one of those folks you'd hate to meet in a dark alley...

Dark alleys get a bad rap.
There's no place safer than your average dark alley.
Think about it. Hoods, hookers, drug dealers and the like don't typically hang out in dark alleys. There's simply nobody there to rob or sell drugs or sex to.  You want a nice safe place to rest your weary drunken self at 3 am? Find a nice,  out of the way dark alley and sleep well. Rats and bugs not withstanding..

And we are evil bastards.  But that doesn't let G-d off the hook (cross).
