For all of you out there that have chosen to ignore God and have chosen a path of self-indulgence...I warn you, there is a God and He is watching you. I say this because there have been a few very clear moments in my life that gave me undeniable proof that something or someone was listening and responding to me.
I don't have all the answers, nor do I pretend to, but I know that there is a Creator. We can debate His nature, and we can debate our origins and how He has brought us about. However, it is pure human arrogance to proclaim that our 'advanced intelligence' and 'scientific advances' have replaced 'silly, archaic myths and superstitions' concerning our Creator. I belive that you can't truly find Him, until you question what you've been told to believe and find the answers for yourself. But, that means you must make an effort...meet him in the middle.
Our souls are immortal and a precious gift given to us by God. This life is nothing more than a test to decide whether or not we are individually ready to ascend to the next level of enlightenment.
Religion is the great weapon of the Devil, who twists it to divide and conquer humanity. We must not allow the differences concerning religion turn us away from spirituality. We have been given the innate sense of right and wrong and are born knowing what we should and shouldn't do. We are measured by our hearts and actions, not whether or not we believe any Bible word for word.
Much have been molested concerning the history of man, however, one thing remains the same...our divinity. You see, this miracle of our existence didn't happen by chance, and pretending that science provides the only level-headed intelligent answers is a huge mistake. Science is merely attempting to understand God's mechanisms. Don't forget, science is in its infancy, and theories are being established and disproved in a constant motion.
There is much we have forgotten, much that has been lost. The answers aren't easy, and those who have occupied positions of power have kept us in a haze.
Its not a black and white issue, and its not cut and dry. There is many things we are really capable of understanding. But, having all the answers isn't what it is all about. Its about making an effort to feel and to find.

I posted my story to share my belief, not to be ridiculed. If some of you find me offensive then so be it. My God loves you either way, and so do I. And when the day comes that you put a gun to my families head and pull the trigger because of their belief, I will look you in the eyes and tell you God loves you just before you kill me too. You see, that story has already been written....just not played out as of yet.

No offence shipmate but you posted your opinions on a website the breeds discussion and debate. In fact that is the mechanism that drives this site, much like the life support systems on board you last boat.
If you wanted to post your ideas or opinions on a site that does not debate you should have posted it on a all christian website.

Morning buddy. I see what you are saying. But felt compelled to share my experience to an unbelieving crowd.
What good is a light if you keep it hidden.
But it did up the O2 bleed didn't it. Another 20 minutes and I expect to here "Reveille, reveille. Up all bunks" followed very shortly by the blessed...."Commence field day"

I am happy for you & pleased that your son survived, but you DID take him to a Doctor/Hospital rather than a church in the first place, Why was that? Also if you really feel that YOUR God cured him surely you have to accept that he could have prevented him falling ill in the first place.This is still not proof & is still SUBJECTIVE!

Thanx.You are obviously intelligent, so i hope you accept this as a genuine question. I promise i am not Trolling, but how did you get to believe in god in the first place? Also, are you in a Sub' right now, if that's a silly question i'm sorry but don't know much about that stuff, i would think that serving on a submarine has it's exiting parts, no?
Firmly denying atheism, Einstein expressed a belief in "Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the harmony of what exists." This actually motivated his interest in science, as he once remarked to a young physicist: "I want to know how God created this world, I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts, the rest are details." Einstein's famous epithet on the "uncertainty principle" was "God does not play dice" - and to him this was a real statement about a God in whom he believed. A famous saying of his was "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
However, it is pure human arrogance to proclaim that our 'advanced intelligence' and 'scientific advances' have replaced 'silly, archaic myths and superstitions' concerning our Creator.
