Man, it’s a religious animal… What do you think about that? Is it painful for you to be listening to someone saying “I’m nihilistic”? Or do you take it as too naive when one says “If God exists why is war a «best seller» in the world?”…
Be our guest… All your beliefs, your doubts, your wandering thoughts about this matter, let them be known by others. Religion it’s sensitive yet not untouchable!!

Let me put some more flames in the fire…
These are words from a very friendly man that I’ve met in my way:
“A very simple reality”
When we open the Gospel, each of us can say, “These words of Jesus are rather like a very ancient letter written in an unknown language. But since it is written to me by someone who loves me, I am going to try to understand its meaning, and to put into practice right away the little I have grasped.”…
Extensive knowledge is not important at the outset. In time that will be of great value. But it is through the heart, in the depths of themselves, that human beings begin to grasp the Mystery of Faith. Everything is not granted at once. An inner life is developed step by step. Today, more than in the past, we enter into the faith by going forward in stages.
Right at the depth of the human condition, lies the longing for a presence, the silent desire for a communion. Let us never forget that this simple desire for God is already the beginning of faith.
Moreover, no one is able to understand the entire Gospel in isolation from others. Each person has to say, “In this unique communion that is the Church, what I do not understand of the faith is understood by others who are living from it. I do not rely on my faith alone but on the faith of Christians of all times, those who have gone before us, from the time of Mary and the apostles to those of today. And day after day I prepare inwardly to put my trust in the Mystery of Faith.”
So it becomes clear that faith – trusting in God – is a very simple reality, so simple that everyone could receive it. It is like surging upwards again and again, a thousand times, throughout our life, and until our very last breath. ” – End of quote
This man was murdered this year in front of thousands of young people while he was praying, he was Brother Roger.
One of the good things of “my” God is that he is giving you the right to choose what you want to do with your live. It’s not imposed, it’s chosed!
So if you want to make the war, he let you make it but sooner or later you will learn that that was not the best option…
