God still loves you as you live and breath right now. It is really not about what God can do for you - He has already died on the cross to forgive you for everything you have done wrong in life should you repent and turn to follow Him.... I give Him everything as it is the least I can do for what He has done for me on the cross - not because its works that bring me salvation but salvation is the pure graceful gift of God.
The Bible claims to be the inspired word of God... His promises are testable... Read 2 Kings 5 and become like Naaman did... Ask God to reveal Himself to you - who He really is.
God bless you

but i want a fantastic life, i want to experience it in all it's glory...i'm a human, i'm going to enjoy it...
life as a christian = not peachy
life as a witch = very peachy
it's not brain surgery...
i have my eternity...it may be in service to some dark, broody animalistic beast in hell, but i'm naturally submissive and i'll have no regrets for my life, I lived, as i wanted to...not blindly guided by a misogynistic book, that some men who had no comprehension of the world today wrote, borrowing from, earlier, more heathen like histories, distorting them for their own...agendas, wrapping it all up by the word of god?
christianity has nothing to offer me...that i can't gain on my own.
god may love me, but i don't need him...i've got everything i need, want, and if not...i can whip up a spell, call up some energies...and have it. No prayer needed, and i can keep the bent knees for my husband's, pleasure.
i've had better, more respectable christians offer me the same speal...and with intelligent arguements, they've had me consede that to believe in and to work with the...demonic names i favor, i sort of have to believe that god too has influence in this world...but they accept that not all people care to be saved, and settle for a good discussion between our differing views.
if god doesn't care to put forth any effort to win my favor, why should you?
besides, satan was already here...
