Life Current mood: ponderous unspeakable pain, unimaginable joy, life comes at us in many different ways slapping us in the face or slyly sneaking by, and it is in the moments of absolute quiet that we can really take measure of it all. love that takes our hands in the dark and relights a flame and burns with the light and warmth of the sun can suddenly turn in a breath and leave us cold and empty. grief and betrayl leave there marks on our souls only to find it fading in the promise of a new romance or old friendships rekindled. its hard to really fathom it all, because life in all its wonders sometimes leaves us blind to see. full of paradoxes it is something so compex its almost simple and today i find myself in awe. |

Nothing More Than Fiction

I live in a world where i am consistently and constantly misunderstood. i create characters and places to the fill the void of someone who can understand who and what i am, who takes in everything i say and who can say in an instant, i get it. i feel out of character around my family and sometimes even around my friends, flipping over another facet to myself so that i become the filler to a void in someone i love. eh i am myself, but you know my mom needs her daughter, my aunt wants her neice, in a way i fill a need in people who sometimes dont derserve it and i wonder if i do it so that i am not alone, or if i do it as a way to atone for who i became for awhile or even if i do so that i have an idenity, so that when i feel like im fading that i can fall into a role and know that somewhere i still have a place. i never really realized how much it takes out of me until i go into my room and close the door, escaping into my haven , where my words fly off the paper and turn into something nothing more than fiction yet someting more real than anything i have seen or been before. i close my eyes and suddenly i have my best friend back, my lover and so much more, where i am wholely myself in a place than can understand. yet, still sometimes, that isnt enough, because i know when i open my door, that wonderous magical world will still be nothing more than fiction. |

an omnipotent being that we love him sufficent reason for getting into heaven? cause he said so? well theres a good reason for that. let me know when he says to slaughter innocent children so i can do that too If you don't like what the Mediterranean Mythologists did to God you might want to look into Wicca. There are some pretty nice books on the topic by Scott Cunningham. I'm not saying that it would necessarily be right for you, but I personally find it to be a very loving and positive relationship with God. How much you want to deify God is up to you. The main thrust of the Wicca vision of God is that She and He are both the creator and pervader of all that exists. And since God is the creator Her main desire is to help you to be creative. She works with you as a friend not an enemy. And He provides all the necessary tools and power that you need to manifest the positive creative things in your life that will make the world a better place for everyone. I personally feel that the religion is extremely intelligent, romantic, emotionally sound, and most of all productive. You might feel silly sweeping away negative energy with a magick broom for a while, but after you begin to realize that it actually works it finally dawns on you that God was friendly all along and it was just the male-chauvinist Mediterranean pigs who were the jerks. ![]() haha thankyoy i have actually been looking into wicca. it seems to me to be one of the best religions... its more friendly. =] thank you for all your kind words. and sharing your intellignce as well...somehow its not as abundant as i once thought |

an omnipotent being that we love him sufficent reason for getting into heaven? It's not...what religion teaches that it is? christianity. thesomeone told me that if i accept jesus christ ast my savior i would be well...saved. so i asked exactly what he meant by savior. he meant that jesus died to save our souls because he loved us, so in turn we must love the lord. those who believe in christ get to go to heaven. thus those who love god get in... like i said i think im hung up on the semantics There is a bit more to it than love. You must accept Jesus as your savior, which means you must acknowledge that you cannot save yourself. You can love Jesus all day, but until you accept that he is necessary to your salvation, I don't believe you can be saved. Those who believe in Christ don't necessarily go to heaven. Demons believe in Jesus and they are not saved. There will be many Christians who believe they are saved, but are not. Salvation is a deceptively simple topic, but it's really the most prominent theme throughout the Bible. It would be best for you to go to a minister to discuss the topic in depth. why is jesus necesary to my salvation? what am i being saved from? i know the theory,that only god and christ are perfect, and only by them can my sins be forgiven...but i feel like agood many people more than paythe price here on earth. and what exactly isthe definition of perfection? |
