Thoughts – God Gave Us a Brain

God gave us a brain.
Was God a triskster? Did he just put all of this physical evidence in front of us to confuse us?
If God had wished us to mindlessly worship him why did he give us a brain, and the intelligence and inquisitiveness to use it? Why did he put the story of the earths creation in full view through thistory of the earth and the history of the universe if he did not wish us to seek it out. Throughout history we have let those who deny the truths that God has so clearly placed in front of us deceive us with false and misleading claims that the word of man is stronger than the spirit of God winin us.
I believe that God intended that we use the brain he has given to us. If he intended that we be mindless followers whose only purpose was to worship him mindlessly he would not have given us the inquisitive nature that has allowed us to better understand the Universe he created for us.
There are those who would say that only they know who God is and what his will for us is. I believe that when we were born we were all given the same inner spirit of God. No man knows God, or his will, any better than any other man. We only have to look deep inside ourselves to find that part of God that is within us. Sadly, too many have buried that spirit so deep that they no longer reach it. Too many have let the word of man drown out the spirit of God.

Thoughts – A Nation of Sheep

A Nation of Sheep.

This post typifies the feelings of too many Americans. For too long we have been taught to sit back and do nothing and to let others do our thinking for us. Do nothing, say nothing is the credo of those who would control your mind and life. Our nation is rapidly falling into the hands of those who use this mindset to their own gain at the expense of all others.

God gave us a brain. I have to believe that he intended for us to use it, not to mindlessly follow others.


Thoughts – We Mever Learn

In the past history has been written by the winners. This is a sad reality. The winners do not want to look like loosers so history is made to make them look like they were the justified and honorable in winning. In most cases nothing could have been farther from the truth.

Today it is even worse, with the losers re-witting history. We have gone so far down the path of ‘me and I’ that the truth and reality are bring replaced by ‘what is best for me’. If reality does not match what is desired then spread lies to make it true. We have become a nation the allows, even encourages, this. We learn not only from our parents and teachers, but from experience. The ‘American Experience’ today is that you can believe what ever best fits your goals. Lies can be truths as long as someone else agrees with them. This is the path straight into fascism and the end of democracy.

We become what we are taught. We learn from our parents and teachers. But we also learn from experience. Those who put their own rights above all otheres have learned the lies can be made to replace the truth.
