God is Real vs. God isn't Real

World View Argument
(I have researched many views and opinions on athiesm and such, so these are pretty true views.)

Personally I BELIEVE IN GOD HE'S MY SAVIOUR!

God isn’t real
God is real

God Isn’t Real- (An athiest's perspective)
I do not believe in things I cannot either, touch, feel or hear.

I believe that if there is or was a real ‘god’, that He wouldn’t let such terrible things happen in the world, if god is real why doesn’t he just come down and show himself to us?

Truth: Word-Switching (Part 2)

One of my friends who thinks truth is relative believes strongly in global warming. He is sure that if we don’t take drastic measures, the planet will undergo massive climate change; ice caps will melt, sea levels will rise, cities will be wiped out, species will go extinct, etc. I happen to disagree with this position; I think the idea of man-made global warming has been blown out of proportion, and that the measures taken to “protect our planet” are needlessly devastating our economy. My friend thinks that my position on the issue is dangerously irresponsible (hey, it’s mutual).

When my friends refer to their belief that truth is relative to the mind, one of the most common phrases I hear is “It’s true to you,” or “It’s not true to me.” For example, when talking about God, one of them would say, “Well, God is true to you, but not to an atheist. And Jesus might be the Son of God to you, but not to a Muslim.” I’ve been thinking about this phrase, “Truth to him.” It sounds so convincing; every good bad argument does. But I would suggest to you that this phrase has undergone profound word-switching.

Truth: The Great Non-Sequitur (Part 1)

This is a first short essay in a series about truth, and whether it is relative or absolute. I have had some good friends over the years who have thought that, to one degree or another, truth is relative; that is, it all depends on one’s perspective. I appreciate their friendship, but their point of view, frankly, doesn’t make sense. It confuses me how such a way of thinking can possibly work in their minds. This series of essays will be my explanation of why the idea of relative truth isn’t, for lack of a better word, true.

Truth... or something like it

It's interesting to think that truth is only really relative to the mind. What is true to one person is not necesarily the truth to another. For example, Two people may look at a tree, the tree is green to one and brown to the other. However each person believes that they are telling the truth and are convinced that the other is wrong. A third person may then say that both are infact telling the truth, the tree is both green and brown. And yet another person can come along and say all three are wrong, the tree is not green, brown or both colours.

Change

Depression… You know, what everyone goes through.

Worries… What everyone does…

Sadness…” I cared for you… I did…”

Helplessness… “What am I supposed to do now?”

The pain… “God if your there then why does this happen?”

The truth… God’s response… “Learn through your mistakes” “Take heed to my word” “I love you… forever…”

Life… God’s never changing His mind about loving you… I hope you will change about not loving Him...

Change… Get your life right…

Us… We all need too

wake up,
and pray the day goes well
we've got secrets for sell, first come and first serve
i watch your lies make it so much worse
and i
am borrowing your time
just enough to get me by, your alibi
lacks every bit of sense,
"oh, conscience, how've you been?"
(please forgo the fake sentiment)

i may sound bitter and somewhat contrite
but the nights are just passing me (good)by(e).

Dating

Some people misunderstand certain "sheltered" homeschoolers ideas on dating. And there are also a lot of other homeschoolers who don't get the idea either.

Dating: We don't think it is a sin. It's a common misconception that many people hold on to.
