Faith

I'm amazed how easily we believe what the media tells us to believe. People think 'if it is in the news it has to be true, if they say they're scientists whatever they say MUST be the truth'... Why? Why do we so easily trust and believe this media? It can't be just because they say so. I believe it goes deeper than that. It's a matter of choice (it's really that simple, no deep thoughts here); we chose to believe what the truth is. If it's easy to believe, easy to live and follow, we tend to chose that one. As soon as there's is a slightest indication of a detail that could be considered 'proof' of Gods excistence, people kind of panic inside themselves and say it's humbug. Even when science comes with quite solid indications (I try to avoid the word proof) of a planned creation, those scientists are suddenly not trustworthy. They know the universe is about 13b yrs old. They also know that physical laws did not excist before the universe started to excist (physical laws excist because of the excistence of the universe), so how the hell did the universe come into excistence? They also noticed that the universe is in a perfect balance. Evey planet, star and body is apparently right where it's supposed to be. They also know that life cannot excist anywhere else but exactly 1/3 distance away from the centre of the universe (obviously that's how far Earth is from the centre.) Now I'm just mentioning a couple of things that I've come across googling the net for, well, answers. I can't remember these things with all the scientific mumbo, a mix of greek and lating with math (wich I'm really really bad at), but these are some of the conclusions made by astro-physicists, amongst some where atheists (just to mention).

I guess my point is that the truth is out there, but you can't trust your leaders to bring it anymore. Not the ones with the white lab coats and thick glasses, not the government, not NASA.. In the end you're all alone with it. It's you and the truth and yourjurney to figure it out. I'm saying you're all alone because in the end (from my point of view) you're standing there facing God himself, and no matter how Christian you thought you were you will still say "I had no idea".

The mind is a piece of flesh. It can be manipulated to act and make you 'believe' whatever the words and methods, not to mentino the chemicals lead it to.

One day the safe world you live in will be taken away from you. You will watch everything you knew and everything you trusted fall apart, disappear in flames. Everyone can see it coming. I believe that everyone knows God excists, but people want to be in charge. That's the problem. How much must we loose before we call on him? How much does it cost?

A day served cold

Today is a dull day. It's a beautiful sunny day outside but it should rain. Because that's the kind of day it is today. It's not bright and shiny. Not warm and cuddly. It's cold, wet and somewhat windy, just like me. Of course I'm not to say what day it is for you. I'm simply telling what day I'm having; really the only day that was on the plate. Served cold.

Cancellations and slow connections in a strange world

This is not my kind of world. Many say so. But it really isn't... What we think we know, is far away, so far away from our salvation and safety. And this is where I'm gonna stop because there's nothing we can do to stop it anymore... but we can slow it down. Somebody atleast try and do something. I will.

Fox has, yet again, canceled a very watchable Sci-Fi TV show. ( TSCC ) EDIT::: It had such potential to become a great show but they apparently tried to finish the story off at the end of season 2 and made a mess out of it. I'm not saying it sucked. It was more disappointing than bad, althouh I'm sure it had been a lot better if they'd been given time for a third season to finish it off. The last episode wasn't horrible, but it ended to leave you just wanting more; a real conclusion. Damn it!

This post was meant to be deeper and all that, but... I just fell of the chair and my mind rebooted... That smell is not me, it's you.

The illusion of difference

Honesty, grace, forgiveness and love… If we would realize how much power there is in these and start living openly as a family in honesty, openly recognizing the good and the bad in us as well as recognizing that we’re all the same; human, faulty and in need of help from a saviour. That would end so much of the Christian competition that plagues our churches today. It would end the fear of confession and judgment, wouldn’t it…? It’s for too many people the only way they see, to look down on the ones’ they believe are weaker than them, in order to feel somewhat good about themselves. (ehm…sentence structure?)
We’re all human. We can try to think some are better than others, but that’s not the case. There are just different levels of sanity, where the definition of sanity is chosen by the individual (now I’m starting to confuse myself), but the point is; one mind is separate from the other, and as one mind sees one thing another may not (not so obvious as many think). We blame someone for raping someone, and call him a greater sinner just because we would never do such an evil act, but the fact is we already have. Sin is never really defined as specific actions in the Bible but some actions are defined as sin… A sinner is a sinner and is going to face the same fate as any sinner. The rapist goes to the same place as the one that said a bad word once. It’s not about action. Not about how we act or behave. It’s about attitude and our relationship with God. What I don’t understand is how much people preach this but won’t live it… We know better but still chose to live the way we’ve always done.

Does any of this make any sense? (my english sometimes betrays' me )

The never-ending loop of whys'...


I have so many questions. I’ve said heaps of things about not thinking too much and how often that’s my problem, about letting your mind go and the ridiculous human search for answers to every single thing out there. But this is our nature as people, as human beings. This is how we function. There’s a curiosity and a need to know. I’ve been condemning the very basic instincts of the human nature to find things out and simply figure out where we come from. Science, philosophy, religion, psychology and all that… We’re just trying to find our way back home. It’s a small part inside us that stayed when we left the garden behind us; a small piece of God and his love that couldn’t be taken away because we’re ultimately His children. Every creation contains a piece of its creator.
My questions often drive me insane. I could say that I pretty much every single time that I try to figure something out find myself very lost and very confused. I say need to know, when what I’m really trying to say is that I simply want find my way back home. I don’t have any solutions or answers. I only hope that I’d perhaps somehow stumble into it. Somehow fall back home. Fall into his presence, fall into his grace. Fall into the peace and righteousness that no one deserves. Fall, because I can’t seem to find any other way. I guess that’s a part of His grace. If only I’d get that.
