quotes from the new book.

So I started reading this book The Christian Atheist a few days ago. So far its an awesome book everything he talks about I've felt during this path to God I've been on over the past 2 years. I'm very much looking forward to getting back to Church when I go to Vegas. But so far I'm about 4 chapters into this book but I wanted to share some of the quotes so far. I have no doubt that there be some added during the course of this book =)

-- "No disrespect meant, but Christians are the weakest people alive. They use Christianity as a crutch to avoid the real world. And the more vocal they are about their religion, the more hypocritical they are." -- I can't tell you how many times I have thought almost this exact thing, before my path to God started. Since I started going to church and reading my bible I have learn its not completely true...for the most part anyways. Some its completely true. Ive actually blog about it before.
-- "I know my life doesn't look like a Christian's life should look, but I do believe in God" --umm YES!
-- "Kneeling on the grass, I heard a voice. It wasn't audible-it was actually way too loud to be audible, too present inside me. "Without me, you have nothing. With me, you have everything." I knelt and prayed the shortest, most power-packed, faith-filled prayer of my life. Not so much whispering as mouthing the words, I said to God, "Take my life."-- powerful be on belief, it makes me smile.
--"Countless well-intentioned people believe in God but don't know him personally. Many of us look the part. Or we think we're Christians because, you know, it's not like we're Baddhists. We believe in God, but our lives don't reflect who he really is."-- I have no words...
--"O God, you are my God." You're not somebody else's God, that I've just heard about. You're my God.--yep still speechless.
--"When our past pain becomes our present identity, the shame cycle has claimed yet another victim. Like a child who repeatedly picks at a scab, many hurt people live a life of unhealed pain."--I think this one means the most and hit me the hardest just because its completely true. how many people can say they dont live in the past in past hurt at some point in their life and let it effect their todays? no one thats who.
--"For many, it is difficult to accept that the past has passed. Sometimes, it's so hard just to leave it there, where it belongs. But until we do, we cannot make peace with the present or walk into the future with hope."--and there it is a slap in the face. let the past be the past. I need to work on this some times.

So there they are so far. This book already has more little arrow stickys then my Hepburn book I just read. =)
Alright good night my lovely friends. Have a good night.
