Modern society is a shitshow and the further it moves away from God and Christian values the worse it will get. I wear every insult from a deranged and Godless leftist as a badge of honor. If those people hate me then I must be doing something right.
Exactly. I used to consider myself in the "punk" crowd. It's funny how now my beliefs make me more punk than ever and they are conservative views. God has a great sense of humor. ?
Jesus and his crew were counter-culture before it was cool!
I look back on my younger days and just see an arrogant child who thought he knew everything. I now sit here at 32, awestruck with just how little I know and how much more there is to be learned. It's a humbling experience, one that really changes you for the better. I spent over a decade looking for answers when they were right beside me the whole time lol.
If you want something crazy to think about, consider that the Bible also references “mythology” several times and even references a giant angelic rebellion in Ezekiel. Remember David picking up 5 pebbles, but only needing one to take to slay Goliath? 1 Chron. 20 mentions Goliath’s 4 relatives. Almost all mythologies have a great flood. Maybe all those myths are true...
The thing that really blew my mind was the Anthropic principle or fine-tuned universe theory. Life as we know it couldn't exist if any number of numerous forces in the universe were adjusted even slightly. It's staggering just how woven and interconnected everything is and I honestly can't believe that it all just happened randomly like some atheists insist.
I have yet to find a myth that doesn't say mankind was created from either dirt, mud, or clay.
What's truly fascinating is that after 2 and a half decades of studying the Bible and thinking that the polytheistic gods of the pagans were purely fictitious creations of man's imagination, I discovered that they are actually based on Biblical beings : the elohim or Watchers that were part of the Divine Council and the nephilim that they begat. (Deut. 32:8 and Gen. 6:1-4 with elaboration from the Book of Enoch). See Michael S Heiser for a deeper understanding. It also explains some incredible knowledge the ancients had that still baffles us today (e.g. Megalithic structures made without present-day heavy machinery).

I was told that the Chinese symbol for survival is 8 people in a boat.
