Funny things and arguments for the TRUTH!
I just watched a bunch of "Messy Mondays" clips by Blimeycow. They are so funny and it makes fun of all the stupid things that we do so that we can move on and make more of our lives. Below it someone had started the typical ragging on Christians for their beliefs and calling us stupid, etc. So, I wrote this below that and I genuinely mean it.:
You know, no one ever really gets their questions answered like below. It's usually just a way to spew anger. But I can tell that you do have questions. You have a right to be angry that things don't always make sense, but learn to express it in a way to help resolve things. Talk to someone you can trust who believes in God and will tell you why they do, etc, and who will be able to handle you saying, "You know, I'm angry and confused over this stuff and I just want some answers." Don't be afraid to just ask and be open to new ideas. This can help open your eyes and bring healing.
People don't believe in God to be hateful. Some people may use it as an excuse to be judgmental, but that is so not what it is about. Even if we don't agree with certain things, we still have to love and respect other people. I know it's cheezy and you may feel like an idiot, but you really can cry out to God and be open to hearing from him. And just listen. It's like learning to tune to a different channel in your head like on a radio. Instead of listening to your anger, realize, this is making me angry, what can I do about it? And listen for the voice of reason.
you listen and be calm, you can hear your conscience and you can search for God. Even if you don't believe in God, you can still hear your conscience, which is that "little voice of truth in the back of your head." It really does help. I hope that you or anybody else here can take this to heart. I'm a Christian, but I've been on the other side and I can say that we need to be a lot more understanding and accepting of people, hear their stories, and help them find answers.
Science, etc and the hard questions can get confusing, so start with what you know. That you are on this earth and you might as well make the best of it. Even if you don't believe in God, you know you didn't make the world or how it operates. You were born into a world that you have to learn how to operate in. So try to learn how to operate in the best way. It means to overcome. Grow beyond what you know doesn't work. Ask for help when necessary, ask how you can help others. Be open to advice. We're all in this together, the human race, trying to figure it out, and I encourage you to team up and be humble, because we need each other, no matter who we are. Thick or thin, you put any people together in a tough enough situation and they realize the depth of the need for unity.
Please don't let your mind go straight to pointing out irrelevent flaws in peoples arguments. We are all flawed. Come to realize that and we'll all be the better for it. I hope the best for you whoever you are because I believe that there is so much out there for you that we can't even dream of. Hope you take this as it is. Peace out.
We need to first learn how to care for others and speak to the heart. Then we can move onto issues in the head; questions, debates, etc. Because it has to be done with respect and care or it means nothing.
