I decide many years ago that I would search for the things I needed in my life, gods were never on the list of useful things to look out for along the...
Which is what he actually created. Where did he get the idea to give them free will? That is basically what the Hollywood saying means. Why is it that...
But how can you keep saying this when god himself said he cannot even be imagined by humans? If we cannot even imagine his properties then you cannot ...
