At church the other day we were talking about passions, and one of the examples was a passion to gain world peace and what actions might be taken in order to obtain it.
One of the suggestions really caught my attention: to gather all the criminals and drop an atom bomb on them. Automatically my thoughts were rounded on how much I disagreed. You see here's how I veiw it: if we drop an atom bomb on all of the criminals it doesn't neccesarily mean that crime is going to stop. All that we'll be telling anyone is that humans are the one's passing righteous judgement and killing all that are bad leaving only the good and honest. However the only reason that people would stop crime for awhile is because of their fear of death.
However that's just what would cause crime to happen again. Someone's going to realize that death is inevitable so there is no reason to fear the human law anymore. No one's going to be afraid because they know that either way, Death is going to happen.
That's just my opinion of course.

[x]--Let's Renew our Vows--[x]
Alright, first of all "Hello I am Sammerz; Sammerz Ba-zin-GRRR" If you thought my first blog was going to be an introduction of myself let me say sorry but no cigar, you can get the word on me from my profile. Today we are going to be talking about something common amongst the christian public and I should know because I WAS one of these people: You love God but never have the time to go to church, at home you don't have the energy or patience to pray, and you're starting to lose da-faith. NO this does NOT mean that you have stopped loving God, in fact the majority of these people are upset that they can't get to church and thus closer to God.
HOWEVER that is just the problem; too often do christians believe their religon rests on church attendance. People, while God's will is for us to worship in his house of worship, and to share that worship with people who love him also, the whole world is open for your worship. You can pray for him anywhere. You can share his word with anyone, anywhere. We have no excuse.
And to get side tracked for a minute let me tell you something that really bothers me. How most only pray in times of peril or struggle, rather than often praying in thanks for our accomplishments and all that is going well in our life. God never hears from us what great things our going on and why?; because we don't believe we need him then, WRONG. Without him such times would not happen. If he did not love us, we would be constantly in peril. We need to appreciate him and ask him to continue to carry us, and not only that but spread his word and spead his word, and of course live according to his law. But with that I might just say that I'm not saying to do these out of greed, it isn't sucking up to the boss, it is living by your faith, and proving that you love him. Think not of what you get in return but of what you have given to your Lord! Ask not what the Lord God can do for you, but what you can do for Lord God!
So in risk of getting completley off topic with the title above, yes some christans lose da-faith because they haven't been surrounded by the light as much, but in places of darkness to repel and refuse it as well. This doesn't mean that christianity is completley black and white either though, that bad people are bad people and will never search for the Lord and good people are always pure with the lord, but to wrap it up... Renew your faith in the Lord and never again let it fade.
