Da Vinci Code and Other Theories

God please, come quickly!

Today I was thinking about abortion, and you know what? It's true, it's the parents' right to kill that baby, we can't really limit them. We cannot put limits on their freedom. And you know what, it's a person's right to engage in relations with someone of their same sex, and marry them, and even adopt a kid. We can't stop them, it's their right. By what earthly premise do we keep these freedoms from them?

There's nothing we can do. Moral Principles are dissolving in the solvent of personal freedoms.

I'm reading the Da Vinci Code, and I'm almost done with it. What a frustrating book. of course everyone educated in their own religion knows that man messed with the bible, that the translations are faulty, that it isn't the unadulterated word of God. Of course this holy book is a fabrication of the early church in a quest for power. So says Dan Brown. But what Dan Brown forgets to assess is that Dan Brown's opinion is no greater than the opinions of other humans. And the fact that Dan Brown doubts the validity of my religion does not exactly concern me.

He is right though, to a point, isn't he? God gave us minds to think and to ponder and to reason. What transpired 2,000 years ago? I haven't a clue. What has gone on since then? I have no idea. I could say "oh what the hell, I believe" but something tells me that is not the belief God wants.

And maybe again we aren't supposed to be so keen on knowledge. Wasn't it knowledge that got us here in the first place? Or more precisely, the Tree of Knowledge?

We are a lazy people. The more reason we have for God, the less we desire to seek Him out. Who knows what the world believes in? Not in Christianity, not in athiesm. Then in what? Ourselves? God help us if that's our religion, because we will certainly destroy ourselves.

I see a vision of the future, and it is terrible. Dissatisfaction abounds. Purposeless dominates. What is our responsibility if we have no morals? Where do we turn if we have no principles? By what standard will we judge ourselves?

I see a terrible world. Without God, we are blind. With God, we are blind, but at least we struggle to see. At least we know what we have lost, and seek it. I will not be content with my blindness. never. Even if I never see. That is the difference between Mr. Brown and I.

God please, come quickly. I cannot bear to witness what the future holds.
