Justoleme,
Referring to your post of Aug. 16th above...

If you believe in God, then you must believe that God has given us the ability to make choices...men have written the bible (God did not write it)...I believe it to be a works-in-progress. I rather like the poem below:

A LITTLE INK MORE OR LESS
by steven crane

A little ink more or less!
It surely can't matter?
Even the sky and the opulent sea,
The plains and the hills, aloof.
Hear the uproar of all these books.
But it is only a little ink more or less.

What?
You define me God with these trinkets?
Can my misery meal on an ordered walking
Of surpliced numskulls?
And a fanfare of lights?
Or even upon the measured pulpitings
Of the familiar fals and true?
Is this God?
Where, then, is hell?
Show me the ******* mushroom
Sprung from a pollution of blood
It is better.

Where is God?

I believe the author refers to all books proclaiming to KNOW god, as being 'A LITTLE INK MORE OR LESS', and that you will not find God in them. You must look elsewhere. And, yes, I expect that he has...unless of course you believe in reincarnation.

Cool

Reincarnation. I did not believe in it either but I am not so sure anymore since my goat had a crush in Texas.

However, now, since my neighbor has a donkey, she became more reasonable, she spends the whole day at the fence.
Sorry Justo.

Sorry, I had to work a little. Sell Dell and Intel shares and so. Buy some good old European shares instead.

The donkey has a smarter look than every politician could possible have.

Reincarnation passes only in the next generation, unhappily. I wouldn't mind to reincarnate into a decadent Roman patricier. Or a miedieval ruler with the "droit du seigneur".
According to the theory of karma, in my next life I should be a conservative republican as punishment for the life I have now.
