My logical mind and pragmatic process often takes me to question the existence of some involved metaphysical being. Simply put, I oft disbelief the existence of God.
But, this disbelief is silenced and even made irrational when the hands of God are made evident to me when my neighbors love each other. Maybe this is why from beginning to end the Bible stresses that we love each other, the Bible stresses that we make evident the faith that we have received because God knew that as visual and sensible beings we would need to be reminded of his pressing existence. Our fallen minds far from being able to grasp the idea of God need daily tangible evidence of God's existence in the work of our hands.
A compilation of sporadic thought.

Ignorance can be bliss if you're dumb.
A random thought that occurred to me when I couldn't fall asleep during a long bus ride...
I have found that if you voice your opinion in the midst of ignorant people, you're only setting yourself up for frustration. A wise man speaks when his opinion will be valued and if not value at least weighed. This does not mean that the audience has to be agreeable but it does mean that the hearer must be the kind of person that can tolerate another human being having a different opinion than that of his own.

Please dont try to change the world.

What I've gotten from Sartre.

What then would Sartre think about the lived reality of Christians today? And how does his radical approach to bourgeois morality mirror those who seek to be independent the church or "religion" but end up in their own version of a system which provides them as much consistency and honesty as the prior one lacked to give?
Kierkegaard and Barth inspire me at times.
A lot of us like to experience religion and God as we would experience walking along the side of a cliff, though feeling the panic and vertigo that would come as a result of the fall from the cliff we are kept safe from the fall by merely walking around the edges. This keeps us from an authentic encounter with God rendering religion something to be merely sensed in a cheap and slightly thrilling manner. Never taking into account that the christian faith is lived off of faith which requires a strange detachment from absolute logic and a fall into the abyss of faith and an authentic encounter with God through prayer and His Word which are the holy scriptures.
