Baruch de Spinoza was a Dutch philosopher considered one of the great rationalists of 17th century philosophy, along with Descartes.
According to Spinoza, God would say: “Stop praying. I want you to go out into the world and enjoy your life. I want you to sing, have fun and enjoy everything I've made for you."
“Stop going into those dark, cold temples that you built yourself and saying they are my house. My house is in the mountains, in the woods, rivers, lakes, beaches. That's where I live and there I express my love for you."
“Stop blaming me for your miserable life; I never told you there was anything wrong with you or that you were a sinner, or that your sexuality was a bad thing. Sex is a gift I have given you and with which you can express your love, your ecstasy, your joy. So don't blame me for everything that others made you believe."
“Stop reading alleged sacred scriptures that have nothing to do with me. If you can't read me in a sunrise, in a landscape, in the look of your friends, in your son's eyes—you will find me in no book!"
“Stop asking me, ‘Will you tell me how to do my job?’ Stop being so scared of me. I do not judge you or criticize you, nor get angry or bothered. I am pure love."
“Stop asking for forgiveness, there's nothing to forgive. If I made you, I filled you with passions, limitations, pleasures, feelings, needs, inconsistencies, and best of all, free will. Why would I blame you if you respond to something I put in you? How could I punish you for being the way you are, if I'm the one who made you? Do you think I could create a place to burn all my children who behave badly for the rest of eternity? What kind of god would do that?"
“Respect your peers, and don't give what you don't want for yourself. All I ask is that you pay attention in your life—alertness is your guide."
“My beloved, this life is not a test, not a step on the way, not a rehearsal, not a prelude to paradise. This life is the only thing here and now—and it is all you need."
“I have set you absolutely free, no prizes or punishments, no sins or virtues, no one carries a marker, no one keeps a record.
You are absolutely free to create in your life. It’s you who creates heaven or hell."
“Live as if there is nothing beyond this life, as if this is your only chance to enjoy, to love, to exist. Then you will have enjoyed the opportunity I gave you. And if there is an afterlife, rest assured that I won't ask if you behaved right or wrong, I'll ask, ‘Did you like it? Did you have fun? What did you enjoy the most? What did you learn?"
“Stop believing in me; believing is assuming, guessing, imagining. I don't want you to believe in me, I want you to believe in you. I want you to feel me in you when you kiss your beloved, when you tuck in your little girl, when you caress your dog, when you bathe in the sea."
“Stop praising me. What kind of egomaniac God do you think I am? I'm bored with being praised. I'm tired of being thanked. Feeling grateful? Prove it by taking care of yourself, your health, your relationships, the world. Express your joy! That's the way to praise me."
“Stop complicating things and repeating as a parrot what you've been taught about me. Why do you need more miracles? So many explanations?"
“The only thing for sure is that you are here, that you are alive, that this world is full of wonders.”

~from our Astute Brother In Our Lord Jesus Christ- .
To say a person is a born again Christian is like saying someone is a financially compensated professional. The "financially compensated" description is redundant. A professional by definition gets paid. If he doesn't get paid he's not a professional. He's an amateur. A Christian by definition must be born again. If he isn't he's just going through the motions. Going to church. Dropping money in the plate. Listing "Christian" as his religious affiliation.
A born again Christian is the freest human being on earth. He is not bound by any of the chains governments use to hold their subjects. It is why the Christian is the arch-enemy of humanist government. Collectivism of any sort. Think of it like this. Life for a born again Christian takes on a different perspective when he knows he has won the ultimate prize. When the gold medal is hanging on his chest. The crown is on his head, the billion dollar lottery is in his account, the passport to paradise is in his wallet. My brothers and sisters in Christ have been awarded something that surpasses all of the dreams this world has to offer.
A government can't offer anything to this person. All of the laws prohibiting this or that or requiring we participate in this or that are meaningless to us. We obey because we do not want to be a burden to society. We pay our taxes because we will render to Ceaser what is his. But when Ceaser starts to demand that we subvert our Kings laws to his laws, we rebel. We refuse. We are obligated to our King to place His requirements over Ceaser's.
We are obligated to protect our wives and children and will do it as we see best. We are obligated to speak about the lies and evil perpetrated by Satan like humanism, Islam, abortion, sexual perversion, communism, globalism, mother earth worship, pantheism and corruption and we will speak our mind. We will gather together when and where we choose. We will not allow you into our house unless you are invited. We demand the right to confront our accusers. We will call evil evil and good good and not confuse the two.
It is for these reasons that our Christian founders originated the great and unique experiment in human governance known as the American constitutional republic. It is for these reasons atheistic humanist communists, Democrats, want to subvert our country. As a born again Christian I know my brothers and sisters spiritually all over this country will not go down without a fight. We are of like mind and they hate us for it. Good. I consider their scorn a badge of honor.
