Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind - Albert Einstein

You probably knew this already, but I am a Christian, and proud of being so.

I have for a long time kept my theological conceits out of my posts. It is partly because I have found no natural room for it here, and partly because I have had, and still have, no need to defend my beliefs. What I believe, I do believe, even if it is not all out of any Holy script or prophet's mouth. I have chosen to relate not only to trouth as being Earthly, but also, Heavenly. And as such, reason, even though I base large parts of my Earthly life on it, will never fully grasp the grandness of Heaven. Therefore, I cannot find it possible to base my whole existence on reason, even though I find great pleasure in using it. On the other hand, I will never succumb to find truth only through the words of others. I am told that Galilei once said: "I do not feel obliged to believe, that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason and intellect, has intended us to forgo their use." I agree with this man, and do base parts of my theology on these three; sense, reason and intellect. Sometimes, the answer is inside you. But these are only minor, as the truth, as my theology is regarded, is based on faith, hope and love. Speaks a prophet of love, I will listen with all my might, and are there words of hope in the Holy Script, then I will save them and bring them to others. But if the prophet speaks of hate, and the Script of separation, then they will never find an open door to my mind. No threat will ever change a persons true feelings. Such are my beliefs, and if this makes me ready for the sulphur-pools of Hell, then it must be so. My only hope is that, if I am wrong, Christ will forgive, as he has done so many times before, even though I am, and forever shall be, unworthy of his grace.
