You have been right - I like the two drawings here. ;-)
Well, Ronnie, it´s YOUR opinion that Jesus will not show up in flesh and blood because he is not God´s son. I believe otherwise and neither of your "arguments" is going to shake that belief. I´m quite good with the Bible myself so I know all that stuff that may seem as a proof that Christianity is not right but I have no difficulties in explaining that to myself so that´s absolutely no evidence against my faith.
No three days in the grave? No three full days, if you mean that. Good Friday - one day. Saturday - second day. Easter morning - part of the third day. No problem, no proof of not being right.
Well, as I already told you: I know you don´t want to believe in Jesus - so that´s okay with me. Just don´t write nonsense about God like that "cruel and playing around with us" stuff. Even if you don´t like me to compare my relationship with God with the one others (and I) have with our relatives and loved ones, I do compare it because that´s what it is for me. And I don´t like bad things to be spread about my loved ones - especially none that I believe to be not true.
Just one thing to think about.... if the apostles didn´t see Jesus alive after his execution but only lied about that or even were the ones to have stolen the corpse - do you really believe they would (all of them twelve! - as Judas Iskariot was replaced) have agreed to die as martyrs for that? Maybe one could argue they thought such a lie would have another effect but as soon as it became dangerous, every normal person would have stopped that lying....
I am talking about your story and many similar ones I had the chance to read through this blog, sharing them with my family and friends. I totally agree with you in spreading the information.
Can you please explain me this "beacon of democracy" expression? what do you mean by that?
Thank you for your reply! I believe being "Conscoiusly aware" is a core human feature. I feel it like a right/duty and I think we have constantly to work in order to remind ourselvels never to stop reacting to what is wrong in the world and, even in harsh moments, try to do our best to help the others. Regarding what you said, maybe "some individuals consider it a course to have social consicence" and NOT being free to express it. What is your opinion about it?
Years have beaten up the body a little bit, right between still feel young and oh no. So lately I've been thinking would I rather live a dull and non eventful 20 more years, or should I try to find that place that makes you feel alive, the place I could never find in adult hood. You see about 15 years ago, things were not going well so I decided the drinking and drugging had not given me what I was looking for.( wait for it the hammers about to fall ) and I said goodbye to my long time companions, booze and drugs. Saying goodbye was easier for me than I noticed for other people, that was it,one day I just stopped. My thinking was that I had not found what I was looking for so I would try it another way. Life changed for me then,I was able to stay at one job started a long term relationship( we recently broke up ) Randy, Sometimes I get tired writing on this phone and my eyes start to strain, so I have to stop for now. This web page does not hold your writing until you come back to it, so I have to send it unfinished ( I'll get back) hope you are okay ?
