isn't it amazing that we live in a world where we can have a blog and post our thoughts. before i started this blog a few months ago i thought about this for awhile and decided to go for it. trust me, i'm not thinking that what i post will shake the foundations of the world or determine what you will have for breakfast or determine who the next president is or what kind of clothes you wear. however, i hope to plant some ideas - some thoughts to banty about, to think about, maybe even torment you with. hey, thinking about things and being challenged is good. so, here's a thought for you: we are a spiritual people. everyone believes in something supernatural. everyone has faith. whether you believe in God, Yahweh, Allah, evolution, intelligent design, or your old ford mustang that you have great plans for, they believe in something. and i believe that everyone believes in God. there are no such thing as atheists. those that say they are are just trying to suppress what God has written on their hearts. that's why they're angry. that's why people of faith anger them. that's why they are trying to rid the earth of any mention of God. so they can find peace. but, guess what, even then they wouldn't find it. find a person on their death bed - any person - and when they know they're dying, they'll cry out for something - someone - and i bet it's God. let me up front, i believe in a triune God - God the Father, God the Son (whom is know as Jesus the Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. and that's why i walk in peace.

What are your thoughts on atheist bus advertisements? The ones that read, "There is probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."
I think the underlying sentiment there is that religion, and the requisite faith, are based on fear, and that the "goodness and purity of thought, etc.," is a byproduct of that fear (fear of nothingness, fear of death, fear of hell, and most importantly, fear of displeasing a higher power).
What if someone could live their life absent of worrying about their future? Wouldn't that acceptance allow them to live in the moment, and use their time on earth more productively?
Here's the story about the ads: http://is.gd/hJMI
