*Snip* apparently for some, how you treat yourself and others isn't as important as praising Jesus.
Perhaps praising Jesus helps with the gratefulness part for people who aren't naturally thankful for everything around them.
Oh... so... a lot of it can be a heuristic for thankfulness, that's interesting. "God loves me so much" always sounded incredibly brain dead to me, but what they're really saying is something closer to: "I'm practicing gratefulness and it is salubrious."
I'd already made the connection between prayer and meditation... it's too bad this information isn't more widely known. Understanding the reasonable side of religion would help people like me have more respect for it.
As a kid what I was told is stuff like "God created stuff, God loves you, God wants you to worship him" etc. so to understand what religion is actually all about I have to unlearn those things first, and that's too bad.
Kid, this whole thread is against the site TOS, so if you want to complain you haven't got a leg to stand on. We can have some fun with it before it gets locked.
You kree-styans like to invade sites like this and push your religious beliefs even where they are not wanted, making yourselves a tiresome bunch. So you get what you get.
The Southern Cross, in the sky at night, ain't selling a thing of it's proof of obviously an Intelligent Design of those absolutely awesome stars forming, not only one, but 3 Crosses . . .
Three is the magic number, the stars on the belt of the hunter
The pyramids of Giza that were built directly under
The knocks on the door that signify it's my brother
. . .
3 wise men, 3 kings et cetera
The Dog Star emperor, Orion nebula
The Grand Leveler
as it is written the Heavens Are His Throne And The Earth His Footstool.
Cool story bro, but I'm not into feet so...

Would have been more impressive to use something that didn't exist before as a symbol. Unless you just happen to admire the process of Roman crucifixion performed on multiple folks before. Not very special..
Sort of like using the rainbow as a covenant.
Besides

Proverbs 32:14 Man shall eat Vegemite, not Cheez Whiz, if thouest is good for thee.
NOTICE the type of meat for not only mankind but all that lived of animals on land and air.
Genesis 1:29-30
King James Version
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
//there's also The Southern Cross in the sky, an amazingly beautiful sight to see, that obviously was INTELLIGENTLY distributed,//
This is satire, right? If not ... oh dear. 🙈

And it has to be said that a cross is not a particularly complex pattern... you could pour cereal on a floor and get hundreds (thousands?) of "crosses" every time...
Cool story bro, but I'm not into feet so...
What if it's a midget in loin cloth?

The ankh was so much more exotic

Hmm, only if I get a cool handlebar mustache like Bali has there.
By the way, this mythology is way more fun to read, although maybe it's just because I hadn't heard it before:
"The powerful daitya king Bali, known for his charity, conquered the three worlds and became sovereign. Vishnu as Vamana appeared in the kingdom of Bali, asking him for three steps of the earth as a donation. Bali obliged, but when the ascetic dwarf measured the whole earth and sky in his first two steps, Bali had no option but to offer his head for the third stride."

There is actually an important but localized festival that celebrates this mustachioed dude.

I'm against no atheist but, rather hope the best for their sakes to realize for themselves the correct equation regarding The Infinite Omnipresent Unconditional Loving Good God.
You see, there's the problem. I have already realized the correct equation and it isn't what you're selling.
The Southern Cross, in the sky at night, ain't selling a thing of it's proof of obviously an Intelligent Design of those absolutely awesome stars forming, not only one, but 3 Crosses, as my post #14 on the other thread that's in off topic on relation to proof of God shares, this here;
..there's also The Southern Cross in the sky, an amazingly beautiful sight to see, that obviously was INTELLIGENTLY distributed, the mass distances between each star that forms, not one but 3 crosses. The extremely gigantic main Cross, that has as well at the end of it's right side an enormous V for when Jesus rose from the dead victorious, and it obviously represents The Holy Spirit.
The 2nd Cross is to be representing it's shadow, massively large, and The Father, while the last Cross is to be the shadow of the 2nd Cross, representing The Son. Also at the bottom right, in line with the MASSIVE V at the top already described, are two stars, is to represent His Footstool, as it is written the Heavens Are His Throne And The Earth His Footstool.
