What is God?
Caroline: God is beyond our imagination and yet comprehensible in each of our situations.
God or the Big Bang (or both)?
Caroline: God. Every creation has a creator, take a washing machine for example – it couldn’t have existed on its own with its fuzzy logic – so there must be somebody to code it! We cannot be the result of an explosion that is hard to calculate as almost everything about us has a pattern in terms of how we are formed! Water is a medium for all organisms with our biochemistry and water was one of the first creations as far as the Bible is considered.
God or Darwin (or both)?
Caroline: God – mostly in terms of how man came about but then Darwin’s idea could have had some hand in terms of us having a link with apes.
God or Darfur? (How can Darfur happen if there is God?)
Caroline: Who is Darfur?
Who is God’s God?
Caroline: He wouldn’t be God if he had a God! But if we go by our understanding of demigods then I guess each one of us would ascribe to be God’s god…. say ascribe and not consider!
Will the real God please stand up? (Why do we have so many religions?)
Caroline: We have religions because society is dependent on a norm or way of behaving or
ascribing his or her potential. But that doesn’t mean that this norm becomes a religion. I see religion as a way out of man’s own usual web of complication. The only reason we complain is if religion weaves its own web around us. Each person has to understand what he or she is looking for to know who the real God is. I am confident that the God of my faith is the real God and that is only because He has made it a point to reach out to me in all my situations rather than be enthroned in a distant land by himself.
Is this just a big lab and are we just guinea pigs and God just a researcher?
Caroline: Well if you don’t think God has a plan for you then this could be it….a guinea pig’s life. But I believe God has a plan and does give us choices. It is up to you to choose how to work it out. Yes, God could be a researcher to an extent of wanting to know how much of Him lies in His creation.
Does unexplained phenomena = God?
Caroline: Unexplained to the one who thinks being real is all about here and now! Unexplained is about not wanting to know any more than you already know and therefore this can equal be to God. You know exactly what the world would be like if we were all gods! You would have a Taliban or an RSS in each household!

Featured Tickles  Heal Your Relationships to Heal YourselfIt has been rightly said that this world is a mirror. It reflects back our inner/true reality to us. As within, so without.

I Wish I Were A GoldfishI am told that a goldfish cannot remember anything beyond a 3 minute time frame. One of my favorite pastimes is to sit and watch our goldfish swim around lazily and rising up only to gobble at the food before going back to their contented existence. Their swimming around actually reminds me of chil The Fine Art of Persuasive Communication!There are many areas to look at in communication: a message is communicated through visual, vocal and verbal means.
