breakdown of faith, outpouring... that poisonous question
I think God arranged for the computer to break when it did… lately I have been too busy to peer into my own heart. Before I was working I had plenty of time… nowadays I'm either working, at counseling, or on the computer, never spending time alone with myself

I don't think it's wrong to question, I think asking the wrong question is more hurtful than not asking at all ... and I just never understood they purpose of why? We are like children sometimes...you can ask why from here to eternity and never understand. And all that time has been wasted trying to find a truth that may not exist. And when that question is answered it's always the last thing you want to hear and (like I said before) leads to another "but why." I think why can be a fun game for philosophers and scientists and I indulge in it my self...but I think for the purpose of life - for living, there are far more important and vital questiosn to uncover and why is a distraction with no end.
I personally don't think anything is concealed by God, I think everything we need is exactly where it is waiting for us to find the vision within ourselves to discover it and if God gives us any thing it's tools. What we do with those tools is our decision. I think everything is a matter of desire and choice ... and what we choose directly influences our lives. I think God influences...Satan tempts...but God chooses not the make us do anything and Satan can't.
Also, I've never been quite sure about the God's Plan thing. It seems contradictory...If God has set a plan in place and that plan the creation in which we all exist I don't see how anything within creation could not be part of that plan. Also, if God is everything, how could anything exist that is not also part of God? Nothing is outside of God, not even pain or anguish. I don't think he *gives* them to us, I dont' think God gives us anything specific...however I do think they are indeed products of God's plan. Perhaps created by our own choices but the basis had to be there somewhere.
I don't think faith is about being blind or not questioning - I think questions are part of the joy or life and I never intended to convey otherwise.

I suppose we simply disagree -- I feel that there is no such thing as a wrong question, and I think all searching for truth is beneficial.
