Not sure where this came from...

What's so hard about simplicity?  Why is it that we MUST over-complicate everything?  How difficult is it to live according to what you say you believe?  For example:  why is it that Christians say they believe certain things and end up not doing those things?  I mean, I know it's hard--and I'm definitely not perfect--but some Christians act like they're not even trying.  Also, people who like to call themselves "free thinkers" who believe that there are no absolute truths in the universe and that whatever you believe is OK--why are they so darn adamant about telling me that I'm an idiot for believing in God?  I mean, if nothing matters, then how could it possibly matter what I believe, especially if you go around preaching that whatever you believe is "truth to you'  (this the sound of me vomiting).  It just makes it look like they really don't believe that it's OK to believe whatever you want.  It must be OK as long as it doesn't bug them--or here's the key--make them feel CONVICTED.  Nobody likes to think about the possibility of being accountable to something other and greater than themselves.  The way I see it, there are two types of people: those who believe in God, and those who believe in God but have convinced themselves that there isn't one.  They've had to CONVINCE themselves that there isn't a God and they do anything and everything to make themselves feel good and unaccountable to anything but their "heart."  They HAVE to have some idea that there is something greater.  If someone really believed that there was no God, that would mean that nothing meant anything.  If nothing meant anything, they might as well just kill themselves right away and get the pointless nonsense over with.  No amount of happiness or suffering would ever change anybody for the better because ultimately there is NO POINT!!!  I think that just the fact that the people who say there's no point to anything don't kill themselves (the majority don't anyway) shows that THEY'RE LYING TO THEMSELVES!!!

Back to Christians, though.  What's so stinking hard about realizing that life's not about us?  How could it be?  God, by definition, is the only TRUE reality.  He's the only One that TRULY matters.  We only have worth because we look like Him (made in His image) and He told us we matter to Him!  Can we stop living like life's about us and our happiness?  Can we just knock it off and live in such a way that we're obedient to Him no matter what pain or uncertainty we think we'll have to go through?  Why do we refuse to acknowledge that God by His very essence is in control and that He has the ability to take care of our ridiculous problems?  My goodness, he created the UNIVERSE!!!  We haven't even been able to figure out the majority of who we are and where we came from scientifically speaking and HE MADE IT ALL!  HELLOOOOOO????!!!!????!!!!!

I'll make it, I promise...   Believe it or not, I'm not an angry person.
