Plan for Life

PLAN FOR LIFE – BY MOTHER TERESA

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centred.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you.
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight.
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, people may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow.
Do good anyway
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough.
But give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is all between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

Take out the last couple of lines and it's a perfectly fine philosophy to live your life by.

Your problem is you can't seem to quite conceptualise the idea that actually many people don't need the the last bit to live life this way.

Napoleon: M. Laplace, they tell me you have written this large book on the system of the universe, and have never even mentioned its Creator.
Laplace: Your Highness, I have no need of that hypothesis.

Or, she could've said "Just be yourself. Oh, and try to be nice".

The lie of Satan - man can do just fine without God. Most of you self styled atheists have bought into it.

So every generous person in the world who has lived a good and honest life but doesn't belive in god is a satanist hey...

Did I ever tell you what Satan's teachings were??

Oh I belive I did but you ignored then, you see it's a fact that Satan was a peaceful Hindu preist who taught his followers to live a very good life where they were nice to people and did not sin, but christianity demonised poor Satan and lied to all thier followers saying he had done evil things.

Who is more holy? The man who lives a decent life following the teachings of the real Satan, or the man who follows the teaching of a bunch of lying sycophants???

I'm sure this won't get replied to anyway

Chico, you are a bad shepherd. I follow you inspiration and recognise God, but you abandoned me when I need guidance.

You are just a tease. Are you, in reality, an agent of Satan?

Why does it bother you that people can live a good life without having to involve God in it?

And WTF is a self styled atheist?

The real Satan, where he came from and where he is headed.

Ezekiel 28:12-19

12 "Son of man, take up a lament concerning the king of Tyre and say to him: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says:
" 'You were the model of perfection,
full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

13 You were in Eden,
the garden of God;
every precious stone adorned you:
ruby, topaz and emerald,
chrysolite, onyx and jasper,
sapphire, turquoise and beryl.
Your settings and mountings were made of gold;
on the day you were created they were prepared.

14 You were anointed as a guardian cherub,
for so I ordained you.
You were on the holy mount of God;
you walked among the fiery stones.

15 You were blameless in your ways
from the day you were created
till wickedness was found in you.

16 Through your widespread trade
you were filled with violence,
and you sinned.
So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God,
and I expelled you, O guardian cherub,
from among the fiery stones.

17 Your heart became proud
on account of your beauty,
and you corrupted your wisdom
because of your splendor.
So I threw you to the earth;
I made a spectacle of you before kings.

18 By your many sins and dishonest trade
you have desecrated your sanctuaries.
So I made a fire come out from you,
and it consumed you,
and I reduced you to ashes on the ground
in the sight of all who were watching.

19 All the nations who knew you
are appalled at you;
you have come to a horrible end
and will be no more.' "


Isaiah 14:12-16

12 How you have fallen from heaven,
O morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!

13 You said in your heart,
"I will ascend to heaven;
I will raise my throne
above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,
on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain.

14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High."

15 But you are brought down to the grave,
to the depths of the pit.

16 Those who see you stare at you,
they ponder your fate:
"Is this the man who shook the earth
and made kingdoms tremble,

Chico, who else but myself is going to style me an atheist?

PS: I suppose that man can not do fine in heaven, if such exists, without god. Here on earth, the evidence is clear: religious wars, burnings, persecution, inquisitions, corrupt and power-hungry church, intolerance, religious coercion.

We don't need this and we don't want it. We have had enough of your religions. Live your life accoring to your conscience, but don't try to run my life, or take it away, for the glory of your god.
