hey

[actionjaxon]

when i made up my mind
and my heart along with that
to live not for myself
but yet for god
somebody said
"do you know what you are getting yourself into?"

when i finally ironed out
all of my priorities
and asked god to remove the doubt
that makes me unsure of these things
i ask myself
i ask myself
"do you know what you are getting yourself into

Hey girly, I havent talked to you in a long time.
I like to think of myself as atheist...but I sometimes think that fate plays an impact on our lives. Like a random series of coincidences leading up to one thing....or how you might meet someone and they know a bunch of your friends but you have never met in the past. So in that respect I am probably agnostic.

eclaire. :)
thank you for your comment. i think that's pretty interesting actually. you would like "what the bleep do we know?!"

i think these matters are important to think about. i also think belief is something sacred to each person, so it means a lot that you shared that with me. thank you.

i hope things are well with you! :)

'if you do not question the ideology to which you adhere your everyday life, i firmly believe you are refusing the divine gift of being truly human.'

i think so too :)
questioning things around us is what makes us different from everything else, and i had a really good time watching la pelicula with you last night, it was GOOD.

and i'm pretty sure you already know this, but just to let is be known: i DO believe in God, and i'm definitely questioning.

Action Jaxon, i was just thinking the other day that i haven't seen you in quite a while. but i guess that would make sense, seeing as you're all the way in Tuscaloosa and i'm all the way in Hoover. but if you ever come back, swing by Chuck E Cheese cause i still work there.

John 16:33-"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good heart, for I have overcome the world.”

Keep God close, Anna. I find that he is the only one i can trust and the only one that will never forsake me. Every one of my friends have let me down at one point and recently i've been feeling more and more alone; like i'm the only person in the whole school doing what he thinks is right. Its depressing, sure, but the joy of the Lord is my strength. And i don't have to worry, because God has overcome the world.

"No matter how filthy something gets, you can always clean it right up."

david, i keep telling myself that i'm going to come by and see you guys some time on the weekend, and then i always get caught up with everything else. one day soon hopefully, i promise!

thank you so much for what you said. it was such a blessing.

I believe that ancient story books cannot explain the universe, our existence, our future, or after-life. I believe that modern mystics ignore the fact that their infallible book of choice calls for murder, genocide, slavery, the subjugation of women, and religious war. I believe that ignoring the many, many problems in one's religion is just as dangerous as the other modern mystics who would choose to follow through with the violent will of god. I believe faith as justification holds no real weight in modern philosophical and scientific conversations, because faith effectively proves nothing.

The facts in front of me make me an atheist.

*online conversation*

this to say, i respect what you believe, but i don't agree with some of the points you make. you do make me think, and i appreciate that.

[bountycollected]

Oh yeah. I forgot to say, the Laws of science that we have today will still be around in the next 2,000 years assuming we're still here and that we don't have a Law of Everything by then. The Bible will be similar to ancient Egyptian religions sooner than that as well.

[actionjaxon]

oh ok.

just like the laws of science from 2000 years ago are around right now? i really don't know what you are trying to argue, but i hope for humanity's sake that the same "laws" [theories] we have now will have progressed a bit.

when did you learn to see into the future? that's incredible.

[actionjaxon]

haha, thank you josh.
