yay, i have to talk to you when i get home. i'm the happiest that i've ever been EVER! i'm serious... i'm so high right now, i'll have to fill you in. (give katy a hug for me) and *hug* for andrew
Great. You're a christian; A follower of a false God. Such pleasantness comes from worshipping a higher body spawned and made tangible by a foolish prophet, some two millenium ago, yes?
Actually, Jet...that's what you believe. No matter what you say, I am a follower of a true God whose presence has been known for thousands of years and whose love was made manifest by a prophet granted the honor of being called God's Son some two millenia ago.
And the pleasantness comes from recent events in my life, which I credit to God because I believe that he works through the world to reward those who follow him, and so far that belief has held true.
yup, a false God that has stopped me from committing suicide on several occasions, who has poured out tremendous waves of peace when the world turned it's back on me, who has loved me even when i screwed up and has forgaven me when i know that i was being foolish. yup, that false God.
Two millenia was the creation of the god you worship. Before that time, it was a more vengeful, more commanding god. Ask me or Arcanine sometime about how he was before Christ came around, and became the most famous of the prophets of that era.
As for you, thatgirl, you're foolish enough to not commit suicide for some being in another realm, rather than for your mortal kin? Perhaps you should have perished, and met this entity you find almighty.
Maybe it's a streak of good luck, soon to be punctuated by a streak of bad, or broken up at intervals. Maybe it's karma. Maybe there is no cause. Maybe it's chemicals in your brain.
Does this also mean that, when shit happens, you'll blame Lucifer/Satan/Your Religion's Bad Guy? Or will you say that all good things are God, all bad things are a result of bad luck? Or maybe that's karma, too. Or maybe there's no cause.
Hey, it doesn't matter to me what you believe to be the cause for happiness. But all I know is that a lot of good things have happened to me recently, and they began to happen not long after I began doing things that wouldn't make any sense to you, like prayer and worship, and if I start to have a better time of life right after I begin to glorify God, then it would be foolish for me to deny that He has rewarded me for attempting to serve Him.
I'm openminded, I really am. I don't believe in God simply because my parents do and they told me to. I've questioned my faith, I've wondered if maybe some other religion was true, or perhaps that no one has it right yet, but everything I see in this world points to God. I don't believe because I was told to, I believe because of experiences I've had where God's presence was undeniable. UNdeniable. I would have an easier time convincing myself that the internet is a bad thing than I would convincing myself that God is not real.

It's impossible to deny.
Nothing is impossible.
