If I had a very powerful laser and I shined it on my wall, then flicked my wrist in a split second, the end of the beam would have traveled about 20 feet across the wall in less than a second. If I then shined my laser on a mountain in the distance and flicked my wrist, the end on my laser would travel across miles of the mountain’s surface in less than a second. Then I shine it on the surface of the moon…you get the point. Eventually the end of my laser would need to go faster than the speed of light to keep up with my flicking the laser at distant objects. Since nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, would I see a bend in the laser beam?
I play this on line Rummy card game. You can't chat per say, but you can say, hello and other things that they have for you to chose from. I was playing and the other person was pretty sure they were going to beat me. They kept putting up, I beg your pardon, well I beg your pardon because I won, he he.
This is the same as an old lesson about flying...
If someone on an airliner going 300mph gets out of their seat they would die instantly because the plane is now going 300mph faster than they are since they're standing still and not strapped into their seat... (this of course is false)...
By the same token, if you are traveling at the speed of light and you turn on a flashlight or laser, that flashlight or laser would be like the person standing inside the airplane.. in other words it wouldn't have any effect on the light coming out of the laser or flashlight.

This scripture has never been so clear to me as it is now with this vicious, rebellious crowd of liberal protesters in America.
2 Timothy 3 New International Version (NIV)
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

This whole thing with college kid's needing to not go to class and get counseling because Trump won is almost alarming to me. You need counseling because the person you voted for lost an election? It's crazy. Grow up. If that was my kid I'd be angry if they behaved like that. My first thought would be, go to class or I'm not giving you money for school.
We live in a mixed up world.
I came across an article which was from an atheist stating god wasn't real, usually they don't affect me.
I started having strong doubts about Jesus, and they kept getting stronger, i srarted thinking what if god isn't real? What if im doing the right thing for nothing? Im giving up everything of the world after all, and in the end i will end up being nothing. All that fun i would of missed out on for nothing, this is my only chance.
I couldn't think clearly at all, those thought took over my mind, but it wasn't just thoughts, it was emotional as well, very strong feelings of despair, fear, etc.
I couldn't think properly, i was trying to think why am i even having these thoughts and feelings? I didnt just goto god on a whim, i looked at my life, I saw i needed him, and i wanted to do the right thing, i wanted to do right by God. Again doubt and strong emotion feelings kept jumping in my head and clouding my mind.
I started thinking vaugley, is this the devil? No, it can't be, these thoughts and feelings are inside me, it can't be, it must be a lack of faith in God. I felt like running away from it all, then i remembered, resist the devil and he will flee, it kept getting stronger, i was trying to resist and was failing miserable. This went on for about 15 mins, then i told the devil, no, leave me, you have no power over me anymore, god has freed me from you.
Seconds later, everything stopped, the doubt stopped, the thoughts, the emotions stopped, and were replaced with a feeling of peace. I could think straight again.
Even now i look back and wonder if that really had just happened, was that real? Was the devil really influencing my thoughts? My emotions? Or was it just me.
It's very hard to determine weither the devil was or not, it is very hard to determine when your under attack or if it's coming from ourself or outside influences. Is this what the devil is like? I had no idea what was going on, untill it was all over.
Has anyone else had similar issues?

No booze. No rebounds. No drugs. No stalking. Nothing to numb these "wonderful" sensations.
Except for excessive emotional eating.
But... It has been all healthy and clean foods.
So... I'm doing whatever I can, however I can, to properly handle myself like a big kid. Because I graduated to pull-ups 2 days ago.
*nods*
I'm treating it like a cold. I'm waiting... praying... waiting... sleeping... suffering...
Today was a good day.
So... Yeah.
*thumbs up*

Chris2552: If God were not real, you would still not be doing the right thing just for nothing. Even if God were not real the Christian way of living is the best thing going. All you have to do is look around at all the people who do things we Christians are not supposed to do, and not doing the things we Christians are supposed to do, and there sure are plenty examples of all those.
Even if I were an atheist I'd still be a great believer in learning from the mistakes of others. And watching those around me proves to me that the things Christians are told to do and not do are things that make for a much better life.
