We officially have muslims and Christian's edit (and now Jewish), praying together in one voice to the creator. This is magical. I know this has happened before but with this unity and the truth we hold we are unlocking the world. Plz everyone join in our prayer group we are building something here. Any Christian's that have a problem with this combo. Or muslims or jewish let's talk right here. For u either get with us or we take the heart of our religions and form the love we seek. So anyone feel they need to make points about this let's chat right now I'm ready

Hard question....
The concept of G-d brings to me a humility. I am not particularly observant. I was born to a reform family, so the observance was not ingrained in me like in the Orthodox. I don't think G-d blames me for that -- he wants us to take steps towards him from wherever we happen to be.
There was a guy online the other day here I was talking to. Claimed to be a Satanist. Whether he was serious or LARPing, I'll never know. But the ideology he described was antithetical to the Jewish / Christian ideals. "You believe inflicting pain is punished. We believe it's rewarded."
One thing I noticed was he described himself, when some urged him to accept Jesus (Or perform Teshuvah as Jews would describe it) he said that his soul was so black with deeds that Jesus wouldn't be able to cleanse him. I said he had the potential for a mitzvah greater than most people could imagine -- to separate himself from an evil cult he was born into and reject it. I couldn't do that, because I was not born to a Satanic cult... but he had that opportunity.
I don't know if I made an impression. Probably not, but who can know...
Anyway, the secrets of Torah, Talmud, study and the ways of G-d are infinite. I know more than the uneducated, and less than the serious scholars. There's always more holiness I could be doing -- but don't, for whatever human frailty I have.
Ego was easier when I was agnostic.
Does that make sense? I guess when G-d gives 613 commandments and I'm lucky if I can keep a handful of them, it seems foolish to get a swollen ego.
Ok something I need to ask first I noticed u use G-D is it disrespectful for me to talk to Jewish people and type God
There's an old Jewish custom of not typing out the full name of G-d as a sign of respect. Kind of like we don't pronounce the tetragrammaton. (Yud Hey Vav Hey) which is G-d's answer to Moses. In place of it, in prayer, we often say "Hashem" (the Name) or "Adonai" (the Lord).
Some Jews extend this to English, typing G-d instead of the full name. I'll still use g-o-d in certain circumstances, when I am not referring to the G-d of the Bible. For instance, my wife and I enjoyed watching the Marvel movie about Thor, the Norse god of Thunder. (I don't consider Thor to be THE G-d of the universe, so I'll use the lower-case word "god" to describe him.)
If you spell it out, that's fine. It's a Jewish tradition, not a Christian one. Just like it doesn't bother me if a Christian eats a bacon cheeseburger -- Kosher laws are for the Jews, not the Christians.
Ok thanks for this and I respect that totally. Man were working magic here I hope u cam feel it
Heh, no problem.
