I love this! And I especially love the section regarding the "faith" aspect, particularly because it covers that which I notice almost every day. Those who try to justify their actions or the outcome of their decisions through nonsense like "it is the will of God".... Motherfucker, how do YOU know???? Did God appear to you in the solace of your conscious, or in your dreams or something? And if so, how can you be so sure that you weren't just hallucinating or dreaming what you WANTED to dream in the first place? The sad reality is that it does take a LOT of faith to believe in what I believe in, and maybe it doesn't necessarily possess the most rational reasoning as to WHY I believe in God and Christ, but at least I don't USE them as a scapegoat for anything I say and/or do. All of my actions are mine and mine alone, not the will of my God. Anyone who uses that as an excuse isn't very Christian at all when it comes down to it, they are just assholes who hide behind their God to alleviate responsibility from themselves. In my opinion, in order to be a TRUE Christian, one must use a balance of faith and common sense. Doing otherwise just gives us a bad name, simple as that. Well done on this post brother! \m/

Thanks Damian. I hear ya. If more Christians thought like you do the world would be a much better place.
