The Secret dictates that our situations are a direct result of our thoughts. Whenever we are down, depressed, and feeling like life has us beat, we are attracting to us though the Law of Attraction more people and situations to make us feel defeated.

Yet looking back on my own experiences, whenever I feel at the end of my rope and I can’t go on, God sends me people, events, and situations to remind me that I am deserving of God’s Love, and that life doesn’t suck.

As a radical leftist, I spend a lot of time tilting at windmills.  It’s exhausting, but I do it because I believe another, more humane world is possible; one that is more in line with the values decent human beings share.  I believe God does look out for us, wants us to be happy and live together in peace and harmony.  This is the sort of world I want to see.  The Marxist-Humanists call it the new society; Christians might call it the “Kingdom” or Commonwealth of God, but it is the same thing.

It may seem Utopian to believe in such a world.  It may seem naive to believe that, until such a world comes, God will provide for all we need, or that nothing is impossible with God.  Yet God gives us each other.  God gives us Love, and all things become possible through God.

“Accept JESUS as your personal LORD and SAVIOR, or else!“

Christians and Marxists have a few things in common, not the least of which being that their core message has been distorted throughout time by the very people who profess to follow them. These distortions have been accepted uncritically by a public too lazy to read the texts and think for themselves.

Take for instance, the notion that salvation only depends on accepting Jesus as one’s personal Lord and Savior. John 14:6 is ripped out of context, and Matthew 25:36-41 is ignored completely. More to the point, does this notion sound like the loving and forgiving God Jesus preached about? Is this the God that loved His enemies, and taught us to do likewise, to love and serve one another?

Ask yourself, would Jesus have called for the forgiveness of those who tortured and murdered Him, as they were doing so, (Luke 23:34), but not for the “forgiveness” of those who’ve never heard His name, or who don’t believe He was the incarnation of the Living God? The God I know is not the vain, petty individual so many conservative preachers have made him out to be.

I’ve started this blog, because the God I know, love, worship, and serve is not a god that demands blind obedience and fear with threats of retribution. I want my readers to know that not all Christians think the same way.

My God is the God of Love (1 John 4:8).
