Where Our Sin Has Fallen Twain

Sometimes I wonder how my mind works. Largely, overcoming obstacles in life is a matter of faith, regardless of who you believe you should put it in. In my belief, God is the object and directee of my faith, and I will always place it in him.

I often must come to terms with my own weaknesses, and then destroy them. I get the dirty feeling that I should rely more heavily on logic and belief in the mind before the heart can corrupt it. This is not a matter of fearing your heart, but preventing the whims of this world from swaying the truth you know. Truth is not known in the heart, it is affirmed in the heart. Truth is facts plus understanding of those facts.

Fact is that Bill killed Bob, and such a fact could imply that Bill murdered Bob, but murder and killing is not the same thing. Murder is killing for personal, ill-conceived intent. Killing is the removal of one life by another, even if that removal is in war, self-defense, or in commencing judgement by a larger body in order for the greater common good.

Where do our sins lie? How must we defeat them? They cloud our minds and fill our bodies. This is not simply the rantings of a believer in a simple moral code, but the universal code of right and wrong that no matter how often others deny its hold over their lives, they suffer inside because they know they have broken it.

Where would such a code come from and how could it be written in every single human? Murder in the animal world is not wrong. It is a matter of survival, and is only used as such, but we are not animals. If evolution is real, then why are we the ONLY ones who have evolved to such fantastic heights and all the others are gone? Would not evolution teach one species, perhaps another intelligent species on this world, that if we were dangerous to their survival, they should hide from us or kill us? Evolution is survival of the fittest, but so is natural life, and I don't believe the two mix. How?

I am a creation.

Why must man degrade himself to a cosmic accident rather than fess up to the authority he doesn't want? Denying the truth does not invalidate the truth, it simply signals to others that you are blind, and are willing to blind others to make yourself feel better. Such is the incomputable nature of stupid man.

If evolution were real, every human would work harder to survive. Instead, we find our ruts and destroy ourselves through gluttony, alcoholism, perversions of every sort - wallowing in our own filth, feeling sorry for ourselves and then angry at anyone who tries to help.

God help us all if we cannot own up to our mistakes, give our god-damned human-nature to him and embrace the life he has promised us from the beginning.

God save the queen? No.

God save me.
