You know when you know the truth about something? And then someone tells you the truth, the feeling you get? Times that by 1000 and thats the feeling you get when God is awakened in you.
​
Schizophrenics will agree, about (insert their particular delusions here). Just because something makes you feel alive and awake doesn't make it real. Realize that people around the world have been made to feel equally or more alive by their religions, whose beliefs on many subjects may stand in stark oppositions to yours.

I still found God
Funny, I did not know God was lost.

You know, you'd think they'd be able to keep better track of their own savior...

I would gladly take immortal life, under one condition: that my mind remain limited, just as human minds are limited today. There is only so much that your mind can store; it isn't some infinite sink of data. Over time, data gets faded or completely lost. Consequently, life will be ever-changing, and you will never reach a tedious steady-state.
