I thought I would not post again, but this is something special. I posted a "How can God not Exist" article hoping to change a few peoples perspectives, but it didnt do any good. Many people on this site probably thought, "What a loser trying to prove God exists. He just does." I cannot prove to someone anything, but I feel that this is very interesting. An Intelligent Creator The idea of an intelligent creator of the universe has always sparked debates, but as science and learning inc...
Do you know what really pisses me off? Some people, even Christians, fail to follow Jesus's law of unconditional love and acceptance. Myself included, but some people on this blog site make me very perturbed. In my short life I have been called a bigot, even by people I know who are on this blog site who I know personally, idol-worshipper, etc. Some people on this blog site have almost open hatred of everyone else besides themselves, including dead musical artists, homosexuals (I am not again...
By now most people might have guessed I am a slightly dense person that never was the brightest crayon in the box. I ask anyone who has ever meditated to offer insight and instruction. Once in a great while I will try to meditate at night to clear my thoughts and calm myself, which sometimes works. My method (can I call it meditation?) I found in a book, which is I concentrate on one finger of flame, like a candle flame, and imagine it burning away all feelings, fears and hopes. I try to imag...
In all my literary experiences, which are not as many as I wish, I have never encountered a writer that has ever had written in the bluntness about religion as Michener has. Not only are his ideas excellent self-contemplation topics, but the histories and backgrounds of the world are extremely profound and mind enhancing. In the Source, Michener shows the formation of three main religions:Christianity, Muslim, and Judaism. He starts from the very beginning, and ends shortly after the Israel ...
Today I participated in the sacrament of reconciliation. Others may mock my Catholicism, which is usually the case, for our traditions are misinterprated and bastardized by so many, yet the few who understand are quite inspiring. After Reconciliation, pouring my heart out to a religious scholar and getting a frank yet hope filling response makes me feel better than I have in a long time. Not necessarily because my sins have been absolved, but because of my meditation afterword and the meaning...
I watched the movie today, and it was good. Probably the best movie I have ever seen. Yet it didn't make me feel the way I thought it would. I didn't cry, or feel like vomiting, or lay on the floor in prayer. It wasn't like that at all. I felt more informed of Jesus's death in a way, maybe it made me more faithful, maybe not, but it was a very powerful movie. I am glad I went to see it and encourage everyone to go.
Of all the controversy over this movie, I have read the impacts that it had on people and I am looking forward to seeing this movie. I feel that it is going to be a trying experience for me because I have been sheltered all my life, and something this radical may be too much for me. I am not worried about what others will think of me if I change because of this experience, I am more worried about what it will do to me. How will my life change? I am pretty sure that it will change for the bette...

It seems so obvious to me. What are people's arguments that God does not exist? I would really like to hear them. Please Respond.
A speaker once told me, "I am a simple man. A simple man once told me that God's Love is great. He said, "Think of your favorite pet, person, or thing. It has to be your favorite, the one thing you love on this earth the most. Now close your eyes (you have to open them again to continue reading this so only do this for a few moments.). Remembering this love, think of that love exponentially. That is how much God Loves you.k" This exercise can be very inspiring when you do not think of the ...
