May Peace surround you, and Love bind you.
May your joys be fulfilled, your dreams be closer, and your prayers be answered.

Hello God?
Oct. 17th, 2008 07:32 pmThomas Szasz’s classic observation, “If you talk to God, that’s called prayer; but if God talks to you, you’re schizophrenic,” needs to be appended to include, “unless you’re revered by millions of gullible sycophants.”

Rethinking the accepted
May. 12th, 2008 01:53 amYou have no idea how aggravating it can be to realize that you just went to a lot of trouble to post links in THE WRONG JOURNAL!!
Here it is again.
Thanks to![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
mercuryblue for reminding me of an old favorite short story, and providing a link. Here it is, along with two others. All three are about rethinking what you think you know.
How it Happened by Issac Asimov
The Immortal Bard by Issac Asimov
The Nine Billion Names of God By Arthur C. Clarke
I have no idea if these are posted legally or not. If they can be found, each of these short stories is worth having to buy a whole book for.

and there was still nothing, but at least you could see it.

Again, God, and the Universe...
Oct. 20th, 2007 12:56 am“God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of the players, (ie everybody), to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.”

How to live
Oct. 13th, 2007 01:34 pmI cribbed this from www.infidels.org , but think they're good rules for everyone:
* There is more to moral behavior than mindlessly following rules.
* Be especially skeptical of positive claims.
* If you want your life to have some sort of meaning, it's up to you to find it.
* Search for what is true, even if it makes you uncomfortable.
* Make the most of your life, as it's probably the only one you'll have.
* It's no good relying on some external power to change you; you must change yourself.
* Just because something's popular doesn't mean it's good.
* Assume nothing
* Don't believe things just because you want them to be true.
and finally (and most importantly):
* All beliefs should be open to question.

"May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let His presence settle into your bones,
and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and everyone of us."
May the peace of God and the freshness of the Holy Spirit rest in your thoughts,
rule in your dreams tonight
and conquer all your fears.
May God manifest himself today in ways that you have never experienced.
May your joys be fulfilled , your dreams be closer and your prayers be answered.
I pray that faith enters a new height for you;
I pray that your territory is enlarged and I pray that you step into your destiny within your ministry.
I pray for peace, health, happiness and true and undying love for God.
