As bad as stuff seems, this whole awakening has not only validated Christ through my research, but has brought me closer to God than ever before.
Even if things don't work out the way we want, even if justice fails, the ultimate goal was awakening our relationship with Christ.
God works in mysterious and magical ways. What a genius. Winning as he always does.
God bless you all. We win in the end no matter what.
Do you see what his plan was now? Incredible.
2016 cured me of my Hitchens atheism
How so? I'm still an atheist in the midst of all of this.
Guess I'm the odd one out. LOL It's all good though, I don't need deities to be fulfilled and/or happy. And if a deity needs my unwavering allegience, or else, that's no diety I'm interested in anyway. But I don't knock people for their beliefs... I knock people that are arrogant enough to think their beliefs are right for me, however.
I just like freedom.
I'm American after all.
God does not need your unwavering allegiance, God is offering you a relationship with Himself, for your sake, because that is what is best for you, you need it, not Him.
I believed about the same thing you do about God/religion. Then I slowly realized most if my thoughts where akin to wartime propaganda strategically implanted in me and so many Americans.
They would have us see Christianity as a con for the weak and dumb, and they go to tremendous lengths to manipulate every single piece of information or incident report that the public is blinded to the truth of the world around them.
The people who work tirelessly to make sure your children are kept from Christianity are the same people that promote and amplify the current Africa American culture that is the most harmful.
I have come to the conclusion that western Christianity is fucking GOOD for us, America didnt rise up to today with christianity by coincidence, and the people who want America to fail spent big bucks to promote the current state of quasi divorce.
I have so many fundamental issues with the bible deity that I could never endorse it. Christianity, true or not, stands in the way of the degenerate Leftist/Socialist agenda. They'll attack anything that runs congruent to their agenda. This should not not be considered as a stamp of legitmacy or truth simply because it's attacked by terrible people.
In the face of communism the "issues" christianity has are like the issue of having to pay taxes on lotto winnings. I'll take it.
Some things about God are hard to understand with a human mind, so it's easy to see Him as wrong about some things from our human points of view. That's why the Bible contains the saying "Lean not unto thine own understanding." Sometimes our understanding is flawed due to us not seeing the full truth of everything like God does.
Pizzagate really fucked me up back then, I couldn’t sleep for days
