I’m so glad people challenge my beliefs. That leads me to think about them in new ways, and different aspects, and I find that my beliefs still hold up. Of course I don’t seek to have my own beliefs, but the truth of He who made me.

I don't like how Christians tend to automatically think they are good and other people are bad. I grew up reading and learning of great Christians that were persecuted not only by the world but by other Christians. so it would be wrong of me to equate Christianity with God.

I see the bible as explaining the spiritual process that leads to life, not as a book that justifies you when you join the special club called Christianity. the flesh makes sects and they try to make artificial divisions just because they hear that the world is bad and heaven is good. but in my mind they have a childish understanding of the scriptures.

they don't take to heart that everything that is good comes from God or they judge for themselves that everything no matter how good it really is, is just bad because it has no religious stamp of approval. at what point do you think God will give you up to your reprobate mind? where is the reason or contemplation and taking the scriptures very serious at? people only take them serious in an authoritarian "you must obey" sense.

many don't take the scriptures seriously when it comes to treating them as divine wisdom. it's all just a big "get out of hell free card" and "blindly obey everything no matter how good or evil it is".

a person is a nation and when enough reprobates takes control things will not end well.

Not to be mean... but I used to think people in general were pretty smart. Until I started working at a camera shop/printing shop/post office. Seeing people try to interact with technology. The internet has been common for about 20 years and people still don’t know what a browser is, or how to go straight to a web address. Seeing people who can’t follow instructions or don’t even want to take the time to read them. Seeing people who wait until the very last minute to place an order and throw a fit when it can’t be done immediately. I fear for humanity.

at least Christians have Jesus and his saints. seeing the bias of the left vs right is so annoying, it's one big ape show for the most part. each side makes valid points and yet they often refuse to be fair when there are other good points made. at what point do you stop caring about what is good and only caring about your specific ideology? i'm so thankful to God that I have more to look to than the crazy world of humans trying to survive and reign over one another.

one reason i'm critical of my own religion is because I feel it should have replaced a lot more parts of the world with it's better structures than it succeeded in doing. but I see that i'm weak too and can't change the world in a big way.

I’m angry at what Satan has done to mankind. Our bodies are not supposed to start breaking down after a certain age. He brought death into the picture. It was not so at the beginning... and it won’t be so in the next life.

In the past year I’ve had like 3 or 4 nice young women suddenly unfriend me on Facebook, after acting for a while like they were interested in me. I’m sorry, but if I’m not ready, I’m just not ready. Not everyone gets over relationships quickly or easily. And, frankly, if you were really in love with them, I would hope that you don’t get over it quickly. Love and attachment are not easily disposed of. And I would hope the Lord would give these women patience... maybe in the future.

People seem to forget.....

Luke 10:27
John 14:15
John 14:23
Matthew 12:50
John 8:11

I am not perfect, but truth is truth and deception is deception. It doesn't change whether I live truth perfectly or not. Just as 1+1= 2 no matter how bad at math I am..... it doesn't change truth.

Either I agree with God, which is truth.... 1+1=2 or I agree with man and I justify 1+1=5.
