For those of you that believe in a God, would you say your relationship with the big man is more relaxed or serious?

I think God enjoys a more relaxed relationship. S/he gets plenty of serious from organized religious idiots and nonbelievers. Your relaxed relationship is probably like a breath of fresh air!

I think it is all about respect, I talk to God too and I let him know what I think about things that happen in my life, you know every day things. I know that I would say anything like: this is your fault or why are you doing this ? that would be judging. It is ok and good to have a good relationship with God I think, some people might think that is disrespectful but I think everyone should feel comfortable when they talk to God (:

Being a deity, can put you in a serious mood, I imagine. All things however are purposeful. I have the sense of humor likely created in someone else’s Image. If I were a deity, I’d definitely have a good sense of humor. How else could one rectify the bizarre and stupid things in this world, like < you fill in the blank >.

All that groveling, and burning of non-believers. I think I’d have to send a plague to punish them for killing off the cats during the middle ages.

Be nice to my Kitties or ELSE

I have a very serious relationship with the Lord, and have a relaxed relationship with him as my guide and mentor.

Relaxed.;)

So John Goodman really is God?

It’s a bit of both for me. There is a time to be serious and a time to relax and enjoy the close relationship we have cultivated.

scared of Him…very scared…

More relaxed.

Relaxed and familiar.

It’s just
when
I forget
the Meds
I think
I’m
HIM

I have been a Christian for 35 years. My relationship with God/Jesus is very serious, but also very intimate and relaxed. I think it’s possible to be all three. Years ago, when I was all alone, and had nobody to laugh with, I’d tell God jokes and laugh until my sides hurt.

Mine is relaxed. I don’t think of Mother and Father God as being two beings floating in the sky watching my every move or controlling me like a puppet. I feel that they’re in everything around me and my relationship with them is more internal. Less like a parent/child relationship, more like a partnership between me and them. So I guess that’s what makes it more casual for me.

I’d say pretty serious. I haven’t been alive long enough to truly ‘converse’ with God, but every once and a while I’ll think to God, “Really? Why?” That’s usually because I’m either pissed or confused.

Mine is respectful.

Most of the time I’m being seriously relaxed.
