   God is far more dependable then anyone on this earth. God is always with me, never leaves my side.

   I believe you are so correct!!! Regardless of the belief system you follow, think about a love or a lover and really feel your feelings. That is inspiration. To write, to work, to change, to move. Gaze into a child’s eyes, especially if you are lucky enough for it to be YOUR child…and marvel at the awe and wonder that courses through your soul. You encounter and live miracles everyday…you may believe they are provided by a god but they are still here with you. That is inspiration.

   Some people would rather have an imaginary friend than real ones.

   That’s just the perfect response, Kelly, holy crap I loved that!

   Because no one is as inspirational, especially the more you get to know them. The darkness of their soul comes out as they get comfortable around you.

   Would you trade your life to propagate a lie? The people who knew if this was a lie or the truth died passing the information on. All the false messiahs and their followers changed their stories when faced with torture and death to silence their message.

   The world and its people have gotten away from God and look what has become of us…. marriage means less and less divorce rate is like 60% , the family unit is less and less a unit and even less a church going unit. We have lost our morals and our belief in something bigger than ourselves. The whole problem with humanity is that not enough of us look to God for inspiration! And eventually we will all feel the wrath of God. His dissappointment in us and in Himself. Very soon. God Bless you everyone. Those who don’t believe may God bless you the most.

    We all need JESUS more than we can fathomed. No one or thing on earth can bless, fulfill and provide for like the KING of GLORY, the greatest gift GOD has bestowed man! We are so fallen, only HE can raise us up – GOD is the inspiration because HE is our creator – we were made in HIS image. We are apart of HIM. HE is the source! Hellur

    @Tom McG #: That is only because God is in all of us. The light of Christ is knowledge, and the Holy Ghost enters our minds and our hearts from time to time.

    “God is always by my side…” Please, he’s an invisible and imaginary creature. Your closest friends and family are much more dependable as you can ACTUALLY get a response out of them.

    @vjighjnf #:

    1) No one can be invisible AND imaginary, except as used in literature.
    2) God is not a creature, despite what you have seen on South Park. God is an exalted man…Ever heard of “The Man Upstairs…”
    3) Some people have really crappy friends and families who are complete azzholes, who may not provide very good responses.
    4) God answers our prayers all the time, whether or not we are listening. He speaks to the entire world through prophets, whether or not we choose to pay attention.
    5) FAITH IS A BELIEF IN THINGS WHICH ARE NOT SEEN, WHICH ARE TRUE. Just because you choose to deny something, doesn’t make it untrue or unreal. “Science is merely man’s very finite understanding of all of God’s creations.”

    There’s absolutely no one in my life who could be considered “inspirational.” And what makes you think you have any right to decide what I do or don’t believe, anyway?
15. January 21, 2013  by  Tom McG

    June, I believe you may be over reacting. At least to me, your “…have the right” sentence sounded angry. I could easily be wrong but I think the Orig Poster was asking a question, not trying to dictate to anyone. If God exists for someone, then it seems that questions could be welcomed for it gives one a chance to put one’s beliefs out there for consideration. Who knows, you may sway someone! You may improve the world, one soul at a time.

    I totally agree with this. I find people are more inspirational than someone who has changed their stories over the years. Thank you for that. and for the people who say they have no inspirational people in their lives, you may not be looking in the right places. Or possibly too judgemental. My thoughts…

    Religion isn’t real guys get a grip on reality

    Quantum physics has unseated materialism. We’re learning that our reality appears to be based on electrical charges or plasma. Our reality may not be so real.

    a simple point is the main reason people do not want to follow God is because they would have to stop being whores and follow rules.that stupid stuff about “imaginary” is just silly… oh why is he imaginary ? because you cant see him ? so what we are humans and have put ourselves up so high on a pedistal we belive that we can easily percieve everything. sad sad world

    I agree wholeheartedly, Zodiarkk. People’s perceptions are so utterly fallible. It is so funny to hear people say that something “defies the laws of physics,” or “defies natural laws”…WE DON’T KNOW ALL THE LAWS OF PHYSICS or all the laws of nature. Science is growing all the time. I find it hilarious to read about a “new species” that has been living at the bottom of some lake for, probably, EONS. New species occur in the cross-mating of two existing species, and in the VERY RARE evolution of existing species. There is nothing new under the sun except for man’s discoveries. Anything that science discovers has been around for a long time, but has just previously been unexplored. When we come up with a new (widely accepted) way of measuring something, people think the thing that is being measured is new. It’s not. I wish the scientific community would take a good look in the mirror and eat a few truckloads of humble pie. Humankind is not almighty.

    Because he promises, “I will never leave you or forsake you.” Who else do you know that will not just promise, but actually do that? How could that not be inspiring?
23. April 23, 2013  by  Tom McG

    Grace, I am not trying to disparage your beliefs, but the “I will never leave you or forsake you” is only in your mind. It is a sign that you are lucky enough to have faith that the promise was made and is being honored…but I have too many questions to think that She is even there TO leave, let alone forsaking. The inspiration that may indeed come from a god is still within you whereas the “person next to you” is externally present and makes you process your thoughts in a different way.
