What if is a fairytale, loosely based in reality, etc. the specifics don't matter. What if you are wrong and another religion, say wiccans, the ancient egyptians are correct? What if all religions were started by an alien?

I know that I'm not wrong because I have seen Him transform my life and the lives of others. I and countless others have connected with Him to a point where you just know.

Didn't someone ask what AJ would do if, HYPOTHETICALLY, he was wrong? Or am I imagining things?

AJ AJ AJ ! You so so missing the point! Think of it as an exercise in "creative imagining" It's just a hypothetical question, I am just curious about the answer.

lol. The answers to those questions only lead to more questions.

I pinky swear that if you humor me and answer I will not ask any more questions about it. Send me the answer in a pm if you don't want anyone else asking questions.

Answers to hypothetical questions.

Q: What if is a fairytale, loosely based in reality, etc. the specifics don't matter?
A: Then I have been betrayed and deceived. I would feel cheated.

Q: What if you are wrong and another religion, say wiccans, the ancient egyptians are correct?
A: Well, then, I guess I would be reincarnated as something low such as a bacterium or an insect.

Q: What if all religions were started by an alien?
A: Then that's one smart alien. He has billions of people fooled and all of the experiences with "God" that I have had aren't real.

I don't mind the questions, so ask more if you want. But I don't see the point, that's all.

What's the point to anything?
One of the points is that we'd get to know you more.
