Hello soupers, and all! I noticed I had put an I ( my oh my ) in line nine, not so fine

So today I took it away; in this month short of days, easier for reading anyway.

6'20 am February 2020.

I reflect on my current 'reality' & how I have thought in my past day's Indeed how many times I reasoned on your existence.' Or lack of it? Or gave you a Dimension I could at least comprehend.' How alike was I in all this as is all mankind? Time.. Tangibility, how self deluded can we be? is a hundred years forever? Yet this small space.' I.. We have denoted as 'reality' as a time of portent even' Thuough this was only because it was in 'my' lifetimes span, Have not others gone through the same passage, in lifes transient chapter? How alike in our miscomprension we can be.' For it is written, you make my days as a 'handsbreadth' Again it says you view a thousand years as a watch that passes in the night, For a thousand years is like a day, and a day is like a thousand years to You, Also in all this, all the conjecture all the 'science' do not these actions.. This Expenditure of our precious time, reinforce the very truth of your existence.? For whoever built themselves castle walls, if it were not to keep someone out? Whoever has not mustered their arguments before going into the courtroom?

A thousand years is like a day, really gives our lives a different prepective. But then moths don't even live as long as we do. As long as every moment is appreciated I guess, planned for maybe, so that they will reach their full potential. Gosh mate, you have packed so much into so few lines. Whether your intent was get us thinking about our relationship with god, or not, you've certainly given us something to think about.

Joe ... I'm kind of speechless, are you talking about God that you may need a weapon/tool to make or break him?.... I'm confused like always...

And would so many arguments against Gods existence exist did he not exist?

Hi Pashang, I had hoped I had made it fairly clear, howevee I did notice I could have done better, here goes; I had in the past beleved thre was a God, In the sense of a collective human need or yearning I was to an extent buying into the view developed by schools of thought, that would include people who had no belief in God, and others who had a sketchy belief, as opposed to my willingness to believe more completley as a child, now I lets just say I have had 'paranormal' experiences over the last few years that make me believe in God more as I would when a child.'

So subjects in life are just too deep for the human brain to wrap around but one day we will understand provided that it is important when we get to that point..Time has no meaning to God because?????????But then again all of the Bible was fulfilled in God's timing????? Thanks for dropping by..Sara
