Yep. And if you take a Big Mac and take out the hamburger, cheese, sauce, and bun, then you can rightly claim it's health food. <bg>

Hello X. Have you still not seen God? Look around you. It's true that the very creation speaks to the existence of God. How else? Nothing was made that was not made by Him. Including you X and your immortal soul. But the problem is that your unbelief towards God must have a root in some event or perception. However, your beliefs about God are based on observations of man and this world. We can't see radio waves but if we tune in a radio we hear them and can say they exist. But a savage would not understand them even though we are surrounded by them. Gravity is a force that cannot be seen, but it's affect can be observed so we know it exists. Faith cannot be seen but it is a force that exists and even doctors say it affects the health of patients and has been observed when people pray. Faith is an activator of God's presence. When we seek we find Him and He reveals Himself. Seeking is an act of faith that activates God to move in your life. To deny His existence in unbelief is the surest way to keep him away and to not understand the Truth. Why seek God though? What would be the reason? Well, He's the purest form of Love. He IS Love. He invented Love. He is the embodiment of everything that is good. He does not force. He is gentle. If someone does not want Him He will not intrude. But if someone does He will Love them with pure Love as He is pure Love. He did not condone any wickedness done in His name. He would not have burned any "witches", or "heretics", or went on any crusade. When they accused Jesus He did not fight back. It is not His way. It is the way of ignorant man. Don't blame God for the ignorance of men. God said, "My people perish for lack of knowledge." And they certainly do.
