A light in A World filled with "Lights"

  Hello reader! How are you doing today? I am curious, are you stuck in your nine to five day job? Are you bored in your retirement? Does it just seem that days come and go with little or no fulfilling purpose? In our world today we as buyers/consumers are constantly being sold "happiness."  A new car, a new house, peanut butter fudge ice cream, and NBA tickets, are just a few products that are made know to us that are supposed to make us happy for a time. But we could also try using a new diet to lose weight or learning a new instrument to make our life more meaningful. While all those things can be nice thrills we must know we can never truly be happy in this world.   We can never truly be happy because we live in time. Each moment of our life is ticking and each moment will come to an end. Think of your happiest moment. Maybe it was a birthday, or a Christmas when you were young. Maybe it was a Thanksgiving when your whole family was gathered around the table or a spe...

 On this blog I have discussed different topics to try and help you readers on your search for truth. The topic on which I write today is very near and dear to me. The topic, the debate in which I present to your eyes is that of Comparing World Religions. I know this topic is delicate to many of you. It makes me laugh because we humans can debate politics and scientific methods but when it comes to Religion we all run to our own corners and plug our ears lest they be invaded by another one's religious ideals.  Fulton J.

It is kind of funny how so often in this world were suppose believe things but believe them without much thought. That is the ideology where the saying, "Do not believe everything you watch on T.V. " come froms. So when we approach religion we must approach it with reason.   The other pillar we must approach the topic of religion with...

  One of my readers requested that I write about the topic "Recognizing Sin in a World filled with justification." The topic intrigues me and the way the reader worded it touched me in a deep way. Well my first thought is that we live in a victim culture and a very narcissist culture. We are at the center of the universe and our ideology is that "the people surrounding our daily lives seem to always be harming our happiness. We are innocent of all pride and greed but our neighbors are filled with it."   Secondly I believe religion as a whole condemned certain acts as sin so much that it caused these "sinners" to rebel against these beliefs. Religion seemed to step way over their bounds because they judge harshly and very biasly. Being gay, an adulterer, committing suicide was the straight path to hell according to these churches. What these silly religions and churches failed to realize was that Jesus, there God, condoned the Scribes and Pharisees of...
