So. This, as most of my entries, will most likely be just a bunch of ramblings from a disgruntled follower of Jesus just trying to reflect on the nature of the Lord. Thought number one: The secular world seems to think we're crazy for believing in things unseen and in a reality that just doesn't seem plausible (if it did would it be worth pursuing?). If it were the case that we as Christians were wrong, well, the only thing I can think of is how depressing life would be. Sure, there are different theories as to how we came to be, but let's go with a fairly common one: the Big Bang. Now I will admit that this may have some feasibility to it as that may very well be what it seemed like when the Lord created. However, I choose to believe that there was a master behind all of it. Either way, something happened out of nothing. Either we can believe that it just happened, or that there is a creator behind it all. Both ways, ill admit, are nuts and beyond comprehension, but the latter at least offers hope. What can we hope in/for if we just happened for no reason? On the other hand, there is hope found in a Creator who designed each and every one of us with a specific purpose in mind to rule over all the earth.

Also, I have to believe that even the secularists wish that they believed in something higher than themselves. Like I said, it just appears to me (again, just an observation as I myself have been raised a Christian my whole life) that life without belief in some sort of higher power beyond our reality would just be meaningless and empty. I am not in any way trying to belittle my fellow brothers and sisters that share my belief. I only find myself entertaining the idea that if I myself did not believe in a master but instead that I just happened, I would constantly be questioning the meaning of life.

To be honest, I still, even as a believer in Christ entertain that thought. I mean, if someone were to walk up to me right now and say 'what is the meaning of life,' I'd have to take some time to seriously consider it before answering. if I had to come up with an answer right now, I suppose I'd say something along the lines of 'to live like `Jesus.' Of course, to our secular friends, that answer doesn't fly. That answer has a specidic purpose behind it. As I mentioned, I feel as though those that don't claim belief in a higher power would constantly be questioning their meaning. Therefore I have to wonder if their response to this question wouldn't be something like 'to find ones purpose.' Sure there would be different variations in there, such as 'to be successful' or something along those lines. But I have to believe that if people were really honest with themselves, they would start to realize the importance of pursuing purpose. After all, from my point of view as a believer, we were created for a purpose and therefore have a purpose. It is just being filled with the wrong things.

Anyway, its about that time. Hope this made sense. Goodnight cyber world. Thanks for listening!
