To ourselves, are we not capable of destroying ourselves?
To we not bare the responsbility of our outcome?

Church
I'm glad that church works for you. The church served no purpose in our lives. No value added. There's no hate involved.
A gentle answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.

Re: Layers of crap
For you its easy. I can't believe you were the one to accept it. I must warn you, in order for this to work, you are going to have be honest, and maybe dwell on some of the deepest hurt in your life. But the proof is right in your sig! It would seem that you are relying on someones answer to dictate how your emotions are. Tell me, have you forgiven everyone that ever hurt you?

You asked God for a place, and he said orange soda? You know what this means. God is a dadaist?

Re: Church
Out of all the churches I've been to (maybe 30 or more) this was the only one were I felt as though the people act in a Christ like mannor. I feel his presence when I am there, because of the people, and now because of me. That is why I am convinced the churches of the world are so corrupt. It resorts back to my 80% rule of thumb. 80% of everything, no matter what the profession, is lacking what it is supposed to be. 80% is probably generous. This is directly to blame on man, not God.

Main Entry: Dada Pronunciation: 'd-(")d Function: noun Etymology: French : a movement in art and literature based on deliberate irrationality and negation of traditional artistic values; also : the art and literature produced by this movement You were being deliberatly irrational? Because thats what I felt anyway.

Re: Layers of crap
Awesome! Then you are free! But do not let any harsh words stir up anger in you. Instead try this.
The Armor of God 10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
So when you run into a conflict with someone, realize that is not your fight but his, and give it to him with all your heart. When you truely do this, you are going to be amazed at the results you get. There is no need to get angry, when you put your faith in the Lord. With every conflict is a test of our faith. If we do get agry, then we put ourselves in a prison, because we are the only ones who are suffering. The our father prayer, has probably the 2 most important lines to give us freedom, forgive others so that we may be forgiven.

Do I like when other people look at something I've done and say it is good? Most of the time, sometimes it's just a bit embarassing. How is this relevant?
