God IS us... we are the very essence of 'him' so yes, that statement is correct... except the part about being christian... who is to say a druid or catholic does not know god?? Even though many people distort public religion, there are many who would seem blasphemous to the christian religion, who are actually closer to god tha n themselves
I agree with you 100%. I am not judging who does or doesn't know God. When I talk about God, and being a Christian, I am coming from my own perspective, my own beliefs. Don't lump me in with all the other Christians. I am not a fundamentalist. I would also appear to be blasphemous, if they could hear the things I say here (I quit going to church a while ago), yet I love God very much.

God is nothingess of pure LOVE nothing more nothing less.
Love is infinity. Everyone needs it.
If humans didnt have love for each other ever we wouldnt of passed stone age. ETC When we make love we 'create' life.
Creating life is a 'GODLY' act. The Sacred of the Sacred.
And if you have sex with a gal for pleasure doesnt the relationship crumble?
Love is the glue that holds everything together.
Hell i call the plane of punishment , god doesnt send you there
you send youself there by sinning. Hell is not eternal.
maybe 50 years at the most.
say you enjoy burning ants. in hell ants crawl all over you.
But you only had a 60 year life say and 2 years where spent on burning ants . 2 years those ants torment you.
its only Fair!!
need i say anymore?...
P.S. love is caring for others well being etc NOT SEX

Your right man church is the people not the building.
