Alright, so as shit as I feel life-wise and faith-wise, there are things which bother me, concern me, or irritate me, that fall into both categories.

For example, in philosophy, it was being argued that you could not believe in a God who has no beginning and no end and always existed. Because you can't have something from nothing.
Well... If that's the basis for the argument, its somewhat flawed sure
ly? I mean, if you chose to make a distinction and then believe science over religion, even science concurs that our origins- origins of humans, the world, the planets, the solar system, must have come from nothing once. We defy logic by existing. So how can we accept our own existance and not that of the guy who probably created us?

I have loads of little niggles that philosophy raises, mostly against the way people are thinking. I'm gonna do another one to get it off my chest...

GOD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL MAJOR WARS. Without him, or belief in him, our problems would halve.

What utter bollocks. I definitely see their point, but is it God who does this? Or someone who uses it as an excuse?
For example, someone used ireland as an example of this. Well, the troubles in ireland are essentially territorial. The distinction between Catholics and Protestants is just one based on the time they joined the country- protestants became protestants when england changed but ireland remained the same.
Religion isn't the issue in this argument. Its not debating religious issues or some kind of religious vendetta. Its territorial. Or elsewhere, its people using religion as an excuse- that means nothing on Gods word or perfection.

Arghhhhhh!!!! It goes on and on :/

I'm going to post this now and edit it to add bits on to refer to the title, I just am on my bb and can't save it and don't want to lose it :)

So part two of my post would be as it is in the title- the screwtape letters.
The Screwtape letters is a book written by C S Lewis. I have massive respect for anything he writes, because its generally beautifully written and explained theology.

The letters themselves are fictional, written from a higher up demon to his earth bound nephew demon.
Whilst for me, unsure about angels and demons and confusi
ng spiritual warfare, its a bit... Far fetched. But should demons be as true as any other part of the belief I hold, then my goodness The Screwtape letters are beautiful.
The only way I can think to explain it, was if someone wrote to me for advice on how to help someone, the letters are the response- except its not to help, its to turn people from God.


Though I've only read half of it, I do wonder what my screwtape letter/s would look like...
