I always turn to the lord when I am in need. I'm still waiting for him to bring a few things into my life, but for him, I shall be patient.

All of the following are from Ecclesiastes, my favorite book.

 

The wind blows to the south
    and turns to the north;
round and round it goes,
    ever returning on its course. -1:6

 

I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind. -1:14

 

Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind. -1:17

 

Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun. -2:11 (A number of personal significance to me)

 

So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. -2:17

 

To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. -2:26 (my birthday)

 

And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. -4:4

 

Better one handful with tranquillity than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind. -4:6

 

There was no end to all the people who were before them. But those who came later were not pleased with the successor. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. -4:16

 

Better what the eye sees than the roving of the appetite. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. -6:9

If I had to pick a favorite book, it's the Book of Genesis. It's filled with life lessons I use each and every day.

Most of my knowledge of the bible came from playing Isaac and then going to look stuff up to see how it was significant.

 

 So yeah.

My favorite Genesis verse: Genesis 1:26:

Then God said, "Let us make human beings in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

People misinterpreting Bible is kinda one of the main reasons why people are atheists these days.

I'm just agnostic. Nobody has convinced me of anything.

I'll say I was raised Christian but I keep my current religious views a secret. The Bible is very inspiring no matter how I'm looking at it, though.

I'm just your regular atheist. I never accepted the idea of a deity in my life...

 

But I do respect your beliefs....

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
