    Ok boys here it is.  A real naive man doing a real naive man's work.  No wonder there are no takers.  Rendering a stone cold, tree topping glance, I endure a bout of dumbfoundedness.  Yes you read that correctly, dumbfoundedness.  If not in your local dictionary, slap yourself silly.  I'm talkin willy nilly silly.  That's how silly. 

    Now everyone with me- one for the money, 2 for the show, 3 to get ready, now go Proto go!

    My use of keyboard symbols has increased 3 fold and it's because my knowledge of keyboard symbols has increased 6 fold.  Yes willy nilly style, at least.  A wonderful assortment of dumbfoundedness. 

    MP hey bud.  Iwinnar! what's cookin?  Dopay! LOL! 

    On 3... MP you go down out and down.  Iwinnar you just cross to the inside, we will call it an inside post.  Dopay you are on the go route.  We're gonna rap it up stone cold Steve Austin style.  Break!

    Ok boys I think this may be the end of the protostar train.  Or vw bug.  Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know that the things I write are sort of attention getters for my seemingly boring life.  I'm going to end this one like I ended the other.

    Despite my posts that may seem to sometimes contradict what I am about to say, I am a Christian.  Yes I do write things that are not always morally right, and it is because I am not perfect and like the little bit of attention I get here.  I write things that I think others will like and laugh at.  It's wrong though. 

    I am a drug addict and I am trying to get sober.  The one thing that has helped me to maintain peace in my life is God...Jesus.  I get away from him and do bad things, and this is what has led me to become addicted to drugs.  This causes me and my family all kinds of problems, legal and otherwise.  I become another person when I get really smashed and blackout. 

    What I want to leave you with is that I wish everyone peace and I hope that you will look into trusting Jesus with your problems in life.  If you don't want to go that way, it's ok, I am just leaving you with this message of what gets me through it all.  I have had fun with you guys here and hope the few people that view this thread will consider taking your problems to God (Jesus).  I think all people have good inside them and can turn anything around.  God tells us in the Bible that he will forgive you and give you peace.  That is what I wish for everyone who reads this, if anyone actually does read this.  Peace.

    I need to clarify.  I meant to say that the life on drugs I live is wrong.  Not posting here at Covers.  I messed that up.  I'm just trying to get off drugs and writing about being on drugs here, or anywhere else is something I need to get away from.  I need to get away from all things drug related. 

    I don't have a problem with anyone here at Covers or Covers itself.  It is me that I have a problem with.  I try not to judge anybody for what they do.  I can't judge anyone or anything when I have done just as bad, or worse, in my life.

    Proto...i don't want you to be misinformed... 

    Jesus is not God...God is not Jesus. God does not need to morph into a human being (Jesus) and preach about Himself. Jesus is a messenger (prophet) of God. To associate God with any partner (wife,son,holy spirit) is blasphemy.

    Peace be upon you and keep the faith

    Christians believe that when Jesus died on the cross, he then rose from the dead to become 1 with God the Father.  Forming 2/3 of the Godhead or Trinity. 

    It is hard for our human minds to comprehend, but God explains it the best he can for us.  He sent his only begotten Son to die for us on the Cross.  Jesus was born to a virgin (Mary), performed physical miracles that were witnessed and experienced by a lot of people of all backgrounds, and said He was Christ.  To make it even more mind boggling, Jesus was God on Earth at the same time that he was God's Son.  God in the flesh.  Again, our human minds can't quite wrap around this, requiring faith to become a Christian.  But then again, faith is required for many religions.  To claim He was only a prophet means that by definition, the person is not a Christian.  There is nothing wrong with that.

    Personally, if I could wrap my brain around everything about the Christian religion, then I wouldn't be a Christian.  The Creator of all things has to have such an infinitely higher "conscious and intelligence" than even the smartest human to ever live, there has to be some things that we don't understand about It.  If we understood everything and it all made sense, then we wouldn't be talking about God.

    Of course the next logical question is..couldn't the God of the universe make things simple enough for people to understand?  For me the answer is that they are simple enough for me to understand:  1.Every human is created equal in God's eyes.  No race or gender is superior.  2.If you believe in Jesus Christ, believe he died on the cross for your sins and is now part of God, then you will go to heaven.

    Does that mean I think other people will go to Hell?  That is not my concern, I will let God judge that because he is going to judge anyway according to my beliefs.  What I have to say about it is a moot point.   

    The other stuff is not required to get into heaven, it's just for people who want a higher understanding of it all.  

    And I'm not going to go back and forth about it.  The above is what I believe and it's not going to change.  Many have tried to change me, and I have tried to witness to many about my beliefs.  I'm sure you are just as robust about your beliefs, and that is fine with me.

    Dang it man.  Religion talk will get the best of even the most stone cold forum abstainer.  It sounds like you are a muslim.  I think muslims believe Jesus was a prophet, but not sure.  I'm not googling to cheat.  Also it sounds like you don't believe in the Old or New Testament.  Even person believe Christ is coming, they just don't think he has already been here.  They don't believe in Jesus. 

    If I am wrong then tell me I'm an idiot because sometimes I am. 

    The Christian God is hard to totally wrap your brain around.  At the same time He made the part that is a must to understand simple enough for very slow people to understand.

    The part you have to believe to get to heaven is that 1. Jesus was sent by God to die on the cross so you can be forgiven of your sins.  2. You have to accept forgiveness and accept Jesus as your God (accept the Trinity).   

    If you want to get deeper into it, it gets mind boggling at times.  So yes it is hard to grasp, all but the essential part.
