/ speed kills with presence of mind and / speed kills if you know what i mean /
well, i'm a terrible student, i'm bad at sleep but i think i've got some of the important stuff figured out, at least. i was composing a letter to a friend in my mind, the friend being the sort of terrified agnostic who wants so desperately for there to be answers to all his questions, but is afraid that the cost of them will be higher than he

also, as i think you know, i am very reluctant to tell people "your path is WRONG!" especially considering my own flaws. but i do believe that my path is correct, and my friend is, by his own confession, looking for a path. i think mine could help him. he is interested in it, but has a lot of misconceptions about it (like many others, myself included). and i think what he's doing right now is hurting him, both emotionally and spiritually. and honestly, i think his wife agrees with me.
one of the last things i want to do is taint Truth with my own opinions and misconceptions. but i think it would be far worse to have a piece of Truth, and not share it with someone who needs it. that would be tantamount to denying water to a man dying of thirst in the desert because i used a brita filter instead of pure, and i'm afraid he won't like it. if he doesn't want it, he doesn't have to take it. that is his choice. if he tastes it, and doesn't think it's worth it, so be it. that is his choice. i think you know me; i will not drown him in it to make him love it--that's a poor way to "help" anyone. but whether or not i try in the first place is my choice.
i am a christian. that is what i have chosen. and you certainly don't have to agree with me, but please understand that everything i think about God, Truth, jesus, and life and death themselves are seen through christianity. if it is false, i have nothing and most of my life is a lie. a beautiful, tragic lie, a well-intentioned lie, but a lie nonetheless. and if it is true, then i have everything.
as i am now, i cannot be any other way, any more than yuna can be other than what she is ;)
