If God and I had some kind of contract or agreement that states some kind of debt on my part, then yes. Since I am not aware of any such documents' existence, nope.

No, since his grace and gifts are free and can never be repaid.
Yes, I owe him my life and I can only do my best to be a living sacrifice.

Which is all in your imagination. It might even do you good to have an invisible friend to whom you ask questions and get answers but of course those answers are from your own mind, where you would ask questions as if there were a real god so you reference an imaginary higher power and say, what would I do if I were a god? And you mind gives you answers.

Is this your stock response to every religious thread no matter what the topic?

That is a debt. Is the word 'debt' offensive to you? I wonder why. Maybe it might unstick your OSAS and NAFS [No Accounting For Sin] nonsense.

I think its more like people at an AA meeting where you acknowledge a higher power. There doesn't even have to BE a higher power at all, you just THINK there is and that is all it takes to make you feel better about yourself and so forth. Sort of bootstrapping yourself up the morality ladder.

I'm pretty well caught up with God, after years of paying tithes. However, I'm hopelessly below water on my Tooth Fairy account. The b!tch never forgives debts and charges compound interest. ðŸ˜
