This is very mindful, and deserves kudos because it shares a very reasonable view of the world that can't be ignored. What happened to God all those centuries ago; is he working without us knowing, has he been watching us from the sidelines all this time, or more profoundly and perhaps sadely, there isn't one.

My quest as a Christian is long since ended, and now I'm a Buddhist, but I still wonder about God from time to time. However thinking about God in my opinion is combersome, because I can never recieve that yes or no, and if you become philosophically bound like I did as a theist, then you're bound to run into a mess and you may get pulled apart.

It's difficult, a man and his faith. But I've always wondered if God wants us to take care of the Earth and its inhabitants because at least, on a funamental level of being capable nurturing and using our cognitive minds, are we able to maintain a healthy world.

Christianity has always been like a treasure map, and it grows exciting even more as I (still) read the Bible, and even cross over into the apocrapha. However, Buddhism has always been my true solace because the 'philosophy' itself focuses on what's inside us and how we can fix it. I believe it makes sense that in order to make a better world, we must look at ourselves and make a change. Through Buddhism I'm able to accomplish all this.

Can't be an agnostic forever man, but I wish you luck on your religous quest, it could last a lifetime! ;)

interesting cuz almost same words could be appear in a child's letter to a parent who forogot about their kid or something
what college you're going?

"Were we made to self destruct?/Do you still have faith in us?"... Brilliance. Maybe we were meant for no higher purpose than playthings, but I think we also end up learning something about the world and how people work by the end of our lives.

It's preached that humans are made in the image of God, though your statement that "we're everything you're not" is compellingly true. Humans have their flaws, as you say, and a mountain of shortcomings, but it's also important to remember there's that spark of common creation in everything (even if you follow a more agnostic creationism idea, like the Clockmaker theory) so technically "God" is in all of us. Is God really here, then, among us? Maybe we don't acknowledge him, but could he be fighting those wars at our side?

Just thought I'd give you a little something to get those cogs turning.
