Indulging in self-depricating humor is a dark side?
God, how I long for the days when a rock star's dark side involved sex, drugs, fast cars, empty swimming pools, a few pygmies, many Technicolor yawns, perhaps a loaded gun and the odd coma or too...
"I'd probably spend the eternity wondering what sort of God would play such incredibly cruel games with his creations"
Perhaps a read of the Bible would shed light on the utter foolishness of this sentence.
The answers to your questions are there. Give it a go.
Not all faith in God is of the blind variety.
Faith is the evidence of things not seen.
Obviously the evidence is seen but the things that we have faith in are not.
"People who choose to rely on blind faith for answers to the world would do well to avoid throwing around terms like "foolishness"."
The whole point is that the Bible contains answers that give direction to faith, though I'm not quite sure what that phrase "answers to the world" means.
Last week God answered a direct question of mine to Him in seconds. A question I didn't even know I was going to ask two minuets before I asked it.
The answer by the way was "That is theirs and this is yours". I had no difficulty understanding it. But if I'd asked Him for "answers to the world" I'd have probably been given silence. The only other possibility is something that I could not possibly comprehend (which may be the same thing, for all I know).
What a great album cover. I still have my LP from back then and the artwork still blows me away.
If he were a dem senator he would still be alive & as Dingy Harry says, looks great.
You probably shouldn't give up your day job for the evangelism business just yet.
Does the bible have anything to say about self rightous mockery, or similar topics? Any parables with you in them?
My favorite band always. So sad. I've been playing them all day long.
