Aha! i was told by my doctor that my vitamin D levels were low a few months back... was just told that about 20mins of sun exposure per day is enough, but to also put on a low factor suncream to stop myself from burning and causing cancer etc, plus i was also put on Vitamin D and Calcium tablets a month or two later to help boost it.
I tend to lean towards science, but that's cause i can't understand the fact of there being a god - why can't we see him up in the heavens? where did he come from as he must have existed elsewhere to therefore create the universe and Earth as he can't create himself...(thinks back to Men in black and how our galaxy were inside marbles that some aliens were playing with
). i just have too much of an inquisitive mind, and with the bible, i have no idea what to believe with that! i mean it can all just be folklore, tales passed down and exaggerated, and then finally some people decided to write down the stories in one book - the bible. But i do also believe and hope that there is something else after death, that it just doesn't go black and that's it we don't exist... but then again to accommodate all the souls in heaven and hell... they would surely be absolutely massive places by now! so perhaps we get reincarnaited? come back as another human. People have noticed things like a birth is always follwed by a death or vice versa, so perhaps there's a balance?i just take the bits of things that i do like and put them together - i don't have a religion, i just make up my own mind and believe what i want to believe, whether it be religious or scientific... although the whole Da Vinci Code thing got me thinking as i noticed they had a none altered last supper painting in a church in prague...
hmm... i wonder how frustrating these convosations are for those who haven't opened the isis and are looking for clues and hints as to how to open it
A true Christian doesn't hide what he believes about Christ, but lives in such a way as to prove that what he believes actually means something to him, and can be meaningful to others, rather than hit everyone on the head with their Bible! So let me apologize on behalf of all Christians out there for those of us who slip into the pushy mode; they really do mean well, but like many things, intentions are most often never perceived correctly and implications are generally never inferred appropriately, and quite frequently they may not even fully understand that which they are trying to explain to others, which makes it even more pushy. So, all that to say, try to keep in mind that pushiness is often not intentional, and if it is, it's wrong, and that pushy person doesn't speak for all Christians.
One who cares enough to not have a mindless army worship Him, but people who actually are dedicated to Him because they choose to be. He'd love for everyone to choose that way, but of course being omniscient and everything He knows that there will always be those who refuse and reject Him. Part of being God I guess. Shambles.
