At one piont that's what I thought. but If you are truly not in it doing that stuff just to say you did it or what ever, It won't help. before I read the Bible I pray that God will help me to understand what it is that I'm reading, and aply it to my life.

I don't think he'd want us to be obsessed with him. I'm an agnostic person, but if in the event there was a God of the conventional sort, I think it's more likely that he'd only care about people spending their life being helpful to others. It's not about increasing the Christian ranks. The theoretical all powerful and loving being would surely be above something so petty.
Illusionary but ok.
There are many more options than that.
Didn't Jesus say to keep your beliefs to yourself, or what?
Well It's a sad thing. My Grandama died and I was like really close to her. And She wasn't a Christian. I thought then that just had to do what I could for God. so I dunno what I was really Thinking. I was hurt and confused, but some how it came out. It was a time of other trials to, My Dad lost his job, My sister's best freind died in a car accident and I just really prayed. It came from my heart and I really ment it. I think that's when I trully got saved.
Meaning you only wanted comfort.
I some what did only want comfort. and I wasn't angry at God. I sure did do a fair bit of crying, but I rememberd about Job in the Bible and he went through alot worse so I just kept on praying and reading the Bible. I may have only wanted comfort at first, but through all that it really just boosted my faith in him. I found out while I was reading that God puts us through trials for rerasons. One of them is so we trust in him more.
That is one of the questions I probably can't explain as well. I know he has a reason for doing it, I just need to find out why he had to do it that way. I can probably get an answer for that one later.
People have been looking for an answer for that one since Epicurus. For reference, Epicurus was born 341 BCE.
It doesn't make you wonder though? Why would he hurt me if he loves me? I mean, if I hurt my girlfriend than I probably don't love her. I probably am abusing her because I'm a sadistic bastard.

The funniest part about Christians on this site is that a few parade around about how much of a sinful book Harry Potter is, but just by being here they've proven that they've played a game with just as much fantasy and magic. Oh, sigh.
It does make me wonder , but only so far. I get what you mean though. I know there's a passage in the Bible that might be close to an answer I just can't remember it right now.
I've never seen it either. Most of my freinds love that book. I've never read it but I'm an inheritance cycle fan.
The Bible only says not to practice witchcraft. It doesn't say THOU SHALT NOT HAVE A PROTAGANIST WHO IS NOT A ALLEGORY FOR JESUS!
As for video games, it's like anything else. Don't let it control your life. God goes first, eevrything else second

I didn't get that first part. But about God killing more people, He did it for a reason he destroyed sodam and gamora they were evil. he made the ground swollow up isrealites and made snakes bite them and stuff. They dissobayed God and he punished them. He doesn't do any thing without a reason.
