Today we had a discussion in Philosophy about " is there meaning in life with out God?" God totally gave me the strength to stand up for what i believe. it was awesome. the fact that i knew i had nothing to do with my outburst of praise for God was...well... amazing. but it just wasn't me. after i spoke up another girl did... and we actually able to agree and point out the flaws of the "hedonistic" mind set. i love it how God works... a guy even admitted after fervently arguing the point that we should just "drink eat and be merry" that he understood where we were coming from and that it's not all "christians being selfish". i'm excited about the doors that will be opened in this chapter to share more!

Philosophy has been an interesting class for me this semester. but as we come close to closing the book for the year, we enter the chapter of "Philosophy of Religion" very interesting... so i would like to share with you some inserts from the introductory chapter. they may be a little long- but just read it... i think you will benefit from the thought process of it all!

Note: the following: if it is in italics it is from the book, Fundamentals of Philosophy, if it is in bold...my own thoughts!

First, what do we mean by the word God? what are the most basic attributes in our concept of God? God is said to be good, all-powerful, all knowing, loving, the creator,and a transcendent spirit. but it is not always clear what some of those attributes mean, nor is it obvious that they are consistent with one another. what do we mean, for example, when we say that God is all-powerful? can God do anything? can God make a square circle, or make something heavy God can't lift? can God break a promise or tell a lie? if not, does it follow that God is not all powerful, after all? As philosophers, we might begin by trying to spell out more precisely what we mean when we say "God can do anything". we might specify as the 17th century German philosopher Leibniz did, that God can do anything possible to which we might want to add, anything possible which God chooses to do. that will remove the problem of a square circle and the stone too heavy to lift, but what about God's ability to tell a lie or break a promise? Does God not want to do these things, but what if He wanted to? Can God want to do something evil? What, in other words, is the relationship between God's goodness and power? if God good by choice, or does God choose to be good because God is good by nature? there are problems with either approach. if God is good because of choice, then we seem to be asserting that God is capable of evil, and this contradicts our religious assumptions that a completely good being could not do anything bad. but if we opt for the second approach, that God chooses good things because God is good, then we seem to be saying that God, does not really freely choose good. But being good seem to presuppose choosing to do good. Can God be good if God does not freely choose to do good, and can God freely choose good if God is incapable of evil?

DUUUUUDE! wow... that really got me thinking... but i want to hear what YOU think. i won't leave you hanging though...there's even worse things to come...

I'm learning to deal. yes just "deal". i've learned to deal with the heartache, the sollows, the pain, i've learned to deal with the unfairness and the "games" that are played...but most of all i have learned that none of that matters...that it's the time you spend worshipping, loving, laughing, caring and giving-sacrificing your self for something much greater than you.
