Re: Why Humans are Religious
Yes, a very beautiful video.
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.
- Jesus Christ
Disappointment is inevitable. But to become discouraged, there's a choice I make. God would never discourage me. He would always point me to himself to trust him. Therefore, my discouragement is from Satan. As you go through the emotions that we have, hostility is not from God, bitterness, unforgiveness, all of these are attacks from Satan.

Re: Why Humans are Religious
I believe it was Pascal who wrote this:
I recited it from memory."What else does this craving, and this helplessness, proclaim but that there was once in man a true happiness, of which all that now remains is the empty print and trace? This he tries in vain to fill with everything around him, seeking in things that are not there the help he cannot find in those that are, though none can help, since this infinite abyss can be filled only with an infinite and immutable object; in other words by God himself"
John 5:24
24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
“A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.”
-Edward R Murrow

Re: Why Humans are Religious
I was thinking about a saying I heard about all people having a "God shaped vacuum" inside of us. No matter what we try to fill that vacuum with, nothing will fill it because only God fits the "shape" of the empty space.Vergil wrote:Anymore quotes like that, milord?
That quote came up while searching for my thoughts.
I wish I could recite quotes like that from memory.
