God doesn’t damn or smite people off the hammer for no reason… it is not in the bible… That is why I do not exactly like calling myself fom a “religion”… because “religion” as in the word denotes the Beliefs of man about God… And I believe in the bible not a mans belief(although I might have been introduced to it or had it explained to me from man)…
A god is:
God
1. A being conceived as the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe, the principal object of faith and worship in monotheistic religions.
2. The force, effect, or a manifestation or aspect of this being.
3. A being of supernatural powers or attributes, believed in and worshiped by a people, especially a male deity thought to control some part of nature or reality.
4. An image of a supernatural being; an idol.
5. One that is worshiped, idealized, or followed: Money was their god.
6. A very handsome man.
7. A powerful ruler or despot.
Your god is what you serve… you have to serve something in all areas of life… and sometimes that is yourself… so therefore you are your own god… and if I look back at the definition of Religion:
1a. Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe.
4. A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.
In my belief you are a spiritual being and have power(dominion over the earth…) so therefore a god(small) and can be a religiously worshipped being…
