Then—I viewed Chris Hitchens with disdain.
Now—What a brilliant and articulate man!
Then—Bertrand Russell was the boogey man.
Now—Love his 10 Commandments.
Then—Recoiled at Lennon singing “Imagine there’s no heaven.”
Now—“Imagine all the people living for today.”

As a minister, my goal was to convert any non-Christian I met. I was effective at winning others through persuasive sermons & relationships. My behavior was accepted as normal.

I don’t comprehend real Christianity because I don't understand it like you do?
Maybe, but if my five decades of Bible study failed to reveal true Christianity, then…

Today is a good day to remember Jesus taught that hand-washing is unimportant & believed many illnesses are caused by demons.

If humans have a soul operating in tandem with the brain, why doesn't it kick in like a backup drive when someone gets Alzheimer's Disease or part of the brain is damaged?
Simple Answer: Your brain is you, and when your brain is gone, you're gone.
Don't despair. Seize the day!

Dear God,
I give you back your shame.
I’ve done things wrong, and I’m responsible for my actions, but I’m not a sinner.
I’m an imperfect human being, just like everyone else.

God promised Abraham his descendants would be as "numerous as the stars" (Genesis 22:17 NIV).
There are more than 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars.
About 100,000,000,000 people have lived on Earth.
At least 99,999,999,999,900,000,000,000 more descendants are needed.
