Agnosticism

  I have an apology to make, and though I am apologizing for a private email, what I said in it, I wanted to keep it as limited as I could. I was having an attack of what the Bible calls righteous anger! This after listening to Mr. Oreilly's comments on Imus's show, talking about his new book, Killing Jesus. I layed into the celebrated Mr. O pretty harshly! Again, though it was written in a private email, that is, if there is such a thing anymore? I will apologize publicly!
  I have read some of the comments from Christian's on I believe it was The Blaze?, and they were pretty tough! Cut him some slack guys, after all, isn't he just one of the majority? Pray for Mr. Oreilly that he comes to know the truth, because the man has a mighty platform! But you must not judge him, at least not yet. For you will sit in judgement of these soon enough!
  What agnostics fail to understand, is that they too have a religion, and that religion is themselves. They see themselves as little gods, in that, it is their belief that they will decide if God is real or not? They are fools, but unfortunately, they are also the majority.
  For the record, for those of you who have no knowledge of the Bible, what Mr. Oreilly did, is to question the validity of the Gospels! And that my friends is blasphemy, no matter your religion!

IF

  Ten minutes can seem like a long time when you are waiting in line, but how long would these same ten minutes seem, if they were being counted down to your appointed death? The answer of course is that it is relative to your situation. If you are waiting in a doctor's office, ten minutes can seem like an eternity, but if the gallows outside the jail have been built for you, those ten minutes for you, could not be slow enough!
  Certainly if you could control time, then the ten spent at the doctor's office would go whisker quick, while the time spent waiting to die, would take an eternity! But if the soul is indeed eternal, and it is, then because you are eternal, you already possess the power to control time. The problem isn't that you can't, the problem is that you won't! All that is lacking is your belief. You either believe by faith that life is eternal, or you don't? Do you see that this example is no different then the one with the gallows? In essence, what you have faith in, is who you are.
  If you believe that life is limited only to this time, then for you, that is all that will be. But if you believe that life is eternal, then it is only natural, that you will be drawn to the source of that life. To have faith is to know beyond all doubt, no human emotion is stronger then faith!
  What is the power of faith? It is by faith that you see God! Do you believe this? What is the power of faith, and where does it come from? The power of faith is in the knowing, a knowing that is beyond all doubt! But here's the part that should really keep you up at night? What if by faith, you believe that God is exactly who he says that he is, and by some quirk of fate, after you die, you are nothing more then plant food, will you have lost anything in this life?

Young Man

  What does it take to become a man? How will you know young man when your time has come? How will you know when you are no longer a boy, but a man? What does it take, how will you know if you have the right stuff, or do you think that it happens simply by a change in your age? How will you become confident in who you are, comfortable in your own skin? In other words, what kind of man will you become, will you be cool? What is cool, what is it that makes you think to yourself, Yea, I'm cool, I got this thing covered?
  Do you know what the coolest thing in the world is? It is to be smart! There are many types of smart, and it comes on many levels. You can know a little about a lot of things, or a lot about a little, it really doesn't matter which, but strive always to be smart! There is nothing cooler then to be smart. Smart is always way cooler then dumb. Young man, I challenge you to be smart!
  OK you say, but how do I get smart? Tis a fine question lad, and if you'll listen, I will show you the way. Look always to what is true, because in truth is wisdom, and to be wise is to know what is true.
You should persue truth, because Truth is like a fine woman, and she is sweet in every way! You must fall in love with Truth, take her in your arms, and pull her so close, that the two of you become one!
But how will you know truth from lies, and will you know Truth when you see her? Truth is always the most beautiful, all others pale along side her.
  God is truth, and all that says otherwise is lies. In truth there is life and that more abundantly. To know what is true is to live in victory, but in lies, there is no victory, only hopelessness and despair!
