God's answer to my previous post:

"And so the Sovereign Lord says" 'I am against all your magic charms, which you use to ensnare my people like birds. I will tear them from your arms, setting my people free like birds set free from a cage. I will tear off the magic veils and save my people from your grasp. They will not longer be your victims. Then you will know that I am the Lord. You have discouraged the righteous with your lies, when I didn't want them to suffer grief. And you have encouraged the wicked by promising them life, even though they continue in their sings. But you will no longer talk of seeing visions that you never saw, nor will you practice your magic. For I will rescue my people from your grasp. Then you will know that I am the Lord." Ezekiel 14:20-23

Yeah. That's what I'm talkin' about.

I hate living in this world sometimes. Everything is so self-centered. So fake and shrouded in lies. Everything is about getting ahead, being better, succeeding. Everything is about short-term relationship and sex. Our society depends on media like oxygen. There were four shootings in the last week--parents kill children and children kill parents. Scandals and rapes, drugs and alcohol....materialism, abuse in various forms, peer pressure and happenstance tragedies. I could go on and on, but the real tragedy is that no one else notices or cares. Our world is dying, running away from the one who created us and we don't even know because we are so enticed by everything around us. Why do I believe? What difference does is make? The world still dies whether I believe or not. So what difference do my beliefs and my morals and my decisions make?
