Okay, so I'm writing again. It's been a little while since I've written a theology piece, but I've been playing some Dwarf Fortress (which means I get a lot of idle brainpower time), so I've prepared an article on "Feelgood Faith" Imagine that there is a town named Feelgood. In this town people only do things when they want to. It's in a decent climate, and people don't complain that much. However, they find that there is a dearth of exciting new innovations coming out of their town, perhaps ...

I've heard the "It's against my religion" excuse so many times. It's not a good reason. I'm gonna put a Christian slant on it, but this is probably universally true. If the reason you don't like something is because "it's against my religion", you need to reevaluate your life. Sure there are things that your religion may prevent you from doing, but, to tell you the truth, you should find them objectionable, or wrong, rather than just "against my religion". You should follow the rules, but if you...

   Many people have asked why bad things happen. They ask what they did to deserve it, and they may become bitter or angry at God, the world, life, or other people. And, to tell you the truth, they're justified. But, they do not understand how a "loving" God would let them suffer. I present a number of reasons why bad things happen.    First, we have free will. This is our greatest loss, for it leads to all our suffering. In other words, bad things happen, often, because s...

       What is the image of God? The Bible preaches that man is made in God's image. So, what part of man is representative of God? There are proponents of the "body" theory, which states that our bodies are made in the image of God. This basically states that God is in form, a biped with two arms, two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, and whatnot. This is, however, a theory, though it can be theoretically reinforced by stating that it is written that "the body is the T...

    On Desire for God    I believe that men are born with a desire for God that nothing else canfill. Granted, that's also Blaise Pascal's position, but ignore therelation between the guy my favorite programming language is namedafter and the article topic. I believe that when the world "gets usdown", it's due to this undiagnosed thirst. Yes, I do believe that Godis the answer to all our problems.     I alsobelieve that this refutes evolution nice...

    On Time               What is it?    Now, this is a mixed philosophy-religion article.  So give me someslack here. Nobody will agree with all of this. Or almost nobody.    Time is one-dimensional for us humans. In fact, we can only continueonwards, so it could be argued it's non-dimensional, merely aninfinitesmal blip on a timeline. This is how I believe we are not onlypredestined, but...

    Intelligent Design is proved by two scientific statements: Einstein's Theory of Relativity, and Occam's Razor. Basically, nothing can come from nothing, without an outside force. Therefore the universe must have been created. Occam's Razor would also prove this theory. "God created the Earth" is much more simple than any alternative. Also, any arguements for the contrary can be labled as free will (We have free will, but God must, to give us true free will, let us decide based...
