Take the Test Now!!

Funny thing is, as I just began to type this out, wondering what in the world I would have to say in my blog, an advertisement popped up here on MySpace. It states "The Religion Test", "Find the perfect religion for you." I chuckle to myself at the thought. I can find my OWN religion!!! Yes, finally, I can figure out what faith MY beliefs lean towards too I can finally define my religion.

Unfortunately I believe this is the way so many people view their search for the "spiritual", their way of believing is nothing short of picking what makes THEM feel good about themselves. Sigh...

I understand the thought process, I really do, but instead of seeking out any form of truth we settle for the easy way. It is the "path of least resistance." In actuality all we are doing is defining our own god, instead of letting God define Himself to us.

"Oh, wait," you say. "How can you assume that your belief is true and the others are wrong? Why would your belief in your God be better than in the god that I believe in, or created myself?"

My answer is simple. There are absolutes. We live in a culture and society that proclaims that there is no truth, there are no absolutes. Do what feels good for YOU.

Question. What is 8x8? Seriously. What is it? Well, I say it's 62. Am I wrong? You believe there are not absolutes, and there is no truth so I am just as right in my answer as you are in yours! But in reality we both know that the answer is 64. I can die believing that its 62, but it won't change the fact that it IS 64.

As a culture we have the propensity to choose what feels best for us, what is most convenient.

The problem is that there is TRUTH. It's out there people. Go and find it.
