Boy, they’re really crowding around, huh?

It’s only been three days, besides, I saw an empty space and I filled it.

Yes I suppose that establishing your own religion has it’s “other” advantages. So I guess this means I can ask more questions.

Anyone can ask any question.

Do you consider yourself a Prophet?

I’m not sure. Let’s take a look at what the dictionary says about what a prophet is and we'll find out.

1 : one who utters divinely inspired revelations:

Though the being I speak with claims to be GOD, I do not see the entity as divine or holy but that may just be my own personal (mis)understanding. The messages, although interesting, have not yet been proven to be Truth.

a as the writer of one of the prophetic books of the Bible

I have written a book about my relationship with GOD but it wasn’t included in “the Bible”. I was born just a little too late to meet the compilation date.

b capitalized : one regarded by a group of followers as the final authoritative revealer of God's will <Muhammad, the Prophet of Allah>

Since Patrickism does not allow for followers and the GOD that I converse with has not suggested any authoritative will, I would say that this one does not apply to me.

2 : one gifted with more than ordinary spiritual and moral insight; especially : an inspired poet

This definition may apply to me but it would definitely be a matter of opinion. Patrickism also believes that everyone has the ability to gain spiritual development and moral insight and write inspired poetry if they desired, so in a sense, everyone could fulfill this definition.

3 : one who foretells future events

I have not received any future predictions, events or insights from this Being.

4 : an effective or leading spokesman for a cause, doctrine, or group

I have never been elected to this position.

5 Christian Science a : a spiritual seer

I admire this definition but I believe it is a talent that must be developed and not a gift to be given.

So as an answer to your question, I am not a prophet.

What does Patrickism believe about the “end of this system of things”? Does Patrickism have a version of Armageddon or the Rapture or Judgment Day? What does your GOD propose to do for such an event?

First, it is not my GOD.

I sorry, I didn’t mean any offen-

That’s quite alright. From the message that I received from GOD, humankind is perfectly able to create their own Armagedon, Rapture, Judgment Day, they do not need GOD to do this for them. In the same sense humankind can also create their own planet of peace and paradise if they wish. Everything they need has already been given to them. It is our decision, our desire to do so.

Hmm..interesting. According to Patrickism, what are my rewards for being a good person? When I die, do I get to go to heaven?

The GOD that I converse with does not judge good or bad. You are responsible and accountable for your own decisions and your own existence. When everyone dies there is an afterlife but everyone goes to this existence. It is in this existence that one has the choice to stay or prepare for another physical existence. Existence is its own reward.

I’m confused.

That’s okay.

Let me see if I understand this correctly, your GO-I mean this GOD offers no hope for salvation, no justifiable Apocalypse for the wicked or the righteous, no authoritative will or purpose for humankind, no rewards and no future predictions, is this correct.

That is correct.

And do you expect Patrickism to be a popular religion?

Patrickism is a solo endeavor.

So then explain this to me, in what capacity should I follow, worship or revere this Being? I guess what I am trying to ask you is; what exactly is the attraction for me to develop a relationship with such a Being. What’s in it for me?

How about friendship?
