since there is a God, i do not think it is possible to have a significant life without Him. period.
before i finally figured out that not only does God exist but He matters, i thought i had a good life. a very good life. and, according to a lot of you, i did. but a lot of you don't know what the hell you're talkin' about. just like i didn't know what the hell i was talkin' about. even though you think you do. even though i thought i did.
without God, you become god. (or so you think.) without God, you think that everything you think comes from your own intellectual efforts. you think that everything you achieve comes from your own hard work efforts. (well, unless you're obama, in which case you think that everything you achieve comes from the government. or, more accurately, that everything you achieve comes from obama.)
without God, it never even dawns on you that what you have thought or done so far in life had God's hand so all up in it you can barely see straight. without God, you think that what you have thought or done so far in life was all you. and, maybe, your parents. your boss. whoever it was that gave you your "lucky" break. (i'll tell you who gave you your lucky break!)
you think that what you think or do in the future is all you, too.
i used to think like that.
i was wrong.
so are you.
