Are you delusional? Are you decieved?

After spending most of my free time reading/searching/researching/thinking about belief... I am still very curious about what we belive.

Yes, I know, I just used the name of my blog in my blog entry :) Cool right?

Seriously though, I find it disconcerting how different my conclusions are from so many incredibly talented and intellectually gifted people. What is comforting and mind opening however is how many talented and intellectually gifted people I do find myself in agreement with.

The intellectual world is clearly divided. Many of the intellectual elite claim complete honesty and say there is no God. Many of the intellectual elite claim complete honesty and say there is a God. The battle lines are drawn and redrawn throughout history and most of us 'normals' are left confused and frustrated as they argue...occasionaly like adults, mostly like kids :)

A beautiful revelation has come across my path however that puts my heart at rest. The truth, the real Truth is unchanged by the passions and convictions of mere mortals. Only God has ever fully understood it, and only God has ever had control of it. Thankfully he is unchanging. That means what he set in place, he has not changed. God is not fickle like us, he knows what he is doing from point A to Infinity. He doesn't say "Opps, didn't see that coming."

God is not unknowable. God is knowable, because he wants you to know him. God is the one putting in the vast majority of the effort, believe me this is always the case. My steps of faith are increasing less and less 'blind' as of late. It is much more my opening my eyes to see the truth, and saying to myself 'okay God, I admit it, you are definitely not, not there."

Many arguably over educated people (or undereducated depending on how you look at it) have asked me how I became so delusional. The question can be asked both ways. In previous blog entries I have just began to scratch the surface of why atheism is to me incredibly inconsistent with reality. You've got to figure it out for yourself though, you need to know why you believe what you believe. Too many of us are wrong on purpose, right by accident, wrong by accident or both wrong and right but unaware of why and which one.

What do you believe?

Are you delusional? Are you decieved? Or do you just not want to hear it?

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
