I’m hugely disappointed because of the dystopia that will befall us over the next few years.
But deep down, part of me just wanted to be right. I wanted that reassurance for myself. I wanted to blast away on social media for everyone to see that, “I was right! I’m not crazy. So give me kudos.” Or something similar.
I believe we will win. Good and God will win. We just have more to slog through than I had hoped. Keep your red pill canons firing!
I thought I was an atheist until I turned 30. I met my Christian wife and eventually accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. When I had previously read the Bible, I thought it was ridiculous, but I have now read through it, cover to cover, over 12 times and am still amazed at things that I notice seemingly for the first time, and how thoroughly it explains the history of man on Earth. Unfortunately, if you are not a Christian, the Bible can seem foolish, but I invite you to read the Gospel of John in the New Testament, and see if you become interested in what you read.
I should take my time and read through the important parts of the Bible to understand it better, definitely.
And of the first four books of the New Testament is a good start, but I think John is the best (but that might be because it's a little deeper than the others; the book of Mathew was written by a tax collector and is more of a straight record of the life of Jesus) Aside from the Bible, a really good book that virtually proves Jesus is who He said he was, is Lee Strobel's "The Case For Christ", which I just saw had been made into a movie in 1917 (Google is good sometimes :) ).
I couldn’t agree with you more, PhDinNY. I too am 1/2 Swedish, my grandparents on my mothers side immigrated from Sweden. My other half is Irish and English. Although, I identify more with my Irish blood.
After I graduated college I set out to study the Bible. I wanted to spend as much time studying the Bible as I had studying a lot of worthless garbage while in college. I found a lot more wisdom and knowledge in the Bible than I did in college and that’s the truth.
