Reply #67: Its God [View All]

Psalm 33:12: "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance." "Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-christ, that denieth the Father and the Son" (1 John 2: 22).
When you talk about religion you ask questions that ultimately one day we will all have to figure out and answer for ourselves. We are all going to die one day. The understanding of a belief is one that helps us cope and one we can not prove but only through a testimony of God-through his son as stated in the book of John: 1. I am a very Liberal Democrat, but I have a firm knowledge that God exists through my own life experiences and I am happy to share that with this forum. I am a rock-n-roll musician that wears an earring and a bandanna. I fall short of being a perfect person and I do occasionally sin as Christians would call it. But as a Christian I am forgiven if I am sorry for my sins. Even if I sin with the intention of sinning because we are all human and Christ bore our sins on the Cross. Where does that put me? And what is my point? My point is that if Darwin is correct then our body is just a chemistry project waiting to adapt to the next stage of evolution much in the way Hitler envisioned. With God at least a person is trying to find a better reason for existence (putting fourth an effort knowing that we are not perfect), accepting a life that is plentiful and full of love, loss, hope, sorrow, passion, joy, hurt, excitement, tragedy and mystery-for one self and for children and millions of families. Life is a precious thing and should never be destroyed. A life that is agnostic or atheistic is very destructive approach toward society and toward individuals as a whole as experienced by communist and fascist nations. At least hope and faith is something people like to agree upon. In a free society allowing individuals to decide their belief is nothing more than a mere argument leaving those happy in their faith understanding and experiencing a greater Existence. For me it is a joyful hope for the end of all suffering.
