"here lies an athiest, all dressed up with nowhere to go...." sorry, i seem to have stepped into the wrong room. i am a new christian, which means i am only on my first stepping stone to finding christ. it was a long decision, but i find i like myself better when i wake up early every sunday morning, pull myself out of bed and thank God, the big person him/herself. and move on with my day. question faith? thats kind of a cruel irony, don't you think? (kind of like my punctuation.) seriously, whats with all the bitterness in the room? i mean, i hear a sermon every sunday and study in a group every tuesday because from what i understand, jesus, reguardless of whether you believe he exists or not, is the good guy. and why would anyone question pure benevolence, reguardless of its packaging. i have issues with the bible, well, with being organized by a pagan(constantine the great) who really didn't like half of what he was reading but was smart enough to get on the winning horse before he cashed out on life. its written that he was a christian, he was baptized on his deathbed, too weak to argue. and i really don't put a lot of money on who wrote what books or the accuracy of it and all that jazz, but i like the message. i mean when you rent a disney flick, do you really look for historical accuracy? what about war movies, well, do you think about the message? probably not, i mean the intended message of romeo and juliet was "disobey your parents and you will die.." but i doubt that anyone was thinking of that when claire danes said her lines...my point is thinking for yourself is a requirement of actually living life, but why kill yourself over things that you can't prove or disprove but know. choose what you believe in and then don't let go of it just because the vatican exhumes the virgin herself and proves that jesus wasn't born of a literal virgin birth. part of faith(the main part) is knowing the answers without actually seeing them first.
