    Of course, humans have emotions, but they shouldn't be governed SOLELY by their emotions dismissing reason in the process.

    Nah. Soul : a person's total self (courtesy of m-w.com)
    Of course, there are other definitions, but they aren't the definition that I use (doubt you would like 'em either, well except the one about soul music...).
    Well, you are an individual being. One being. That's what a soul is, your total self. What you are. It isn't a component of your self, it is your whole self. Pretty simple. Everything you feel, your memories that rise in response to situations, etc.. soul.

    Ok, so win my mind, right?

    You can't win my body, that's prostitution and/or slavery.
    You can't win my heart, because that is just an organ that pumps blood.
    My emotions come through my brain, so win my mind...

    CONVINCE ME, that's it? Shouldn't be too hard.

    Something like that. i don't know God's plan for you, but it should be fun. Enjoy the ride, bucko...
    Yeah. I've done it before and I'll do it again. You just didn't know it was Me doing it. Eventually you'll get it.

    Ok. Get an 8ball of coke and a ten strip of acid. Trip by yourself, watch some porn, some cool movies you like, some tv. Have some inhibitions (mental roadblocks) removed. See how good life can be, once you do that, you will chase after God....

    How much are smokes in Georgia? cartons (camel and marb)?

    I am a libertine, man.

    I do that and chase after freedom of the mind, not enslavement by "gods".

    There is more liberty found in the truth of God than in anything in nature. Which is why experiencing intense pleasure will hopefully cause you to seek God, who can bring you eternal pleasure, instead of having a little bit of pleasure now and then via natural means such as drugs or sex. God, out of desire for people to turn to God, naturally limits what natural pleasures can grant you (tolerance). You can't build up a tolerance to God though... I still can't tolerate the bastard.

    Then again, maybe you aren't brave enough to pursue the true freedoms that God offers. Ben Franklin said something about that...

    *ROFL*...

    You may as well speak Chinese in my ear. PROVE THERE IS GOD, before preaching.

    Not PROOF. Your perception.

    Does "God" answer your prayer all the time? No.

    It's about 50/50, same as a lucky rabbit's foot, four-leaf clover, and fuzzy dice.

    but it was like I asked him to show me that his way was the way(I was a Buddist).And 2 days later at a christain meeting the topic was Buddhism and they talked about it.So what is that is it just mere couindence?God wanted me back and thats why I follow him.

    You perceived it how you wanted it. You counted the hit, but ignore the "misses". It's called confirmation bias.

    I dont know what you mean but I gess thats because I dont ask for much.Just forgivness, faith, and such. Here is another one.When I was about five years old I asked God to give me an example that I could undersatnd.The next day the one who giving the talk said "here is one that you may understand..." So yeah..

    i think I am being ignored!Our testimonies will not convince you. Only God can convince you Himself that He is real. You might not like the way He does it, but when it happens, you will not be able to deny it, and then you will be trying to convince someone else who's in the dark that your God reigns.

    Only the Giant White Rabbit will convince you he's real. I have no evidence. ;)
