JR, I do not believe you are like Cobain or Hoffman because you are very much still alive. The point I was making is that when the Godless hit bottom they are very much alone,when I hit bottom I can turn to the Lord.

I believe every one has a God. When Stalin died thousands commited suicide because their god was dead. The same thing happened when Hitler died. As for Koresh, Jim Jones, and other cult leaders they also saw themselves as God with disastrous results. Jeffersons god was himself and his "reason". He made a poor president because of his self worship.

Others worship themselves, alchohol, money, ect. but in the end only a faith built on a higher law foundation can survive the difficult times.

I will pray for you JR. Don't let your vast intellect obstruct your common sense.

Are you on the same path to the bottom that Cobain and Hoffman were on? Frankly, I'm pretty sure I won't find myself in circumstances similar to the ones that brought them to the decision to take their own life. If I was on that path, I don't think I would be looking to religion for an insurance policy to rescue me either. After all, if you really had faith in your God, you wouldn't be on the path of debauchery and drug abuse leading to terminal depression.

I believe every one has a God.

Yes, you religious folk always like to pretend that everyone has to think like you do. Face the fact that there are some of us who actually reject wholesale the notion of supernatural realms with mythical beings, ghosts and spirits.

When Stalin died thousands commited suicide because their god was dead. The same thing happened when Hitler died. As for Koresh, Jim Jones, and other cult leaders they also saw themselves as God with disastrous results. Jeffersons god was himself and his "reason".

I suppose that all fits in with your religious world view, but it is a drastic misinterpretation of history.

Others worship themselves, alchohol, money, ect. but in the end only a faith built on a higher law foundation can survive the difficult times.

Some of us don't worship. We live.

The condescension is unbecoming. If you were sincere, you would have prayed for me without making a public show of it.
