In music the other, while discussing The Devil Wears Prada, and how one of their songs includes the line "don't be ashamed of your faith" and how that line apparently "ruined the song" because it has a religious agenda behind it.
Wait a sec, these are the kids that listen to songs like this and this. Hmm. Too blind to realise that they themselves are literally being spoon-fed Suicide Silence's own atheistic agenda?
This really annoys me that somehow it's ok for you to listen to someone telling you an entire album that God is dead, but when you listen to an album that has maybe one mention of Christ and it's deemed "too preachy".
Then another guy says "tell them about that shirt we saw", which apparently said "What the f**k is up with Christian Hardcore". What? So telling you there is no God or that life is worth nothing is ok, but telling you there is hope is not? I really hope people start to realise this depressing trend in music and reject it for more hopeful tunes.

Like Gordon Freeman, minus the sweet goatee...
Yeah, I lost my voice yesterday, on my birthday of all days. Yeah, it got worse throughout the day, until finally at night I really couldn't say anything at all unless I pushed word out through my diaphragm. Yeah.
So i thought, while also thinking about one of my heroes, Gordon Freeman, about how easy it would be to be a mute. I mean, like how you would never say anything you didn't mean, or swear, or put anyone down with your mouth.
But then I also thought about how much it would suck not to be able to talk at all. To never express yourself, or use the phone, or anything really at all that require communication.
James 3:9-12
The mouth is both a dangerous tool and an amazing tool, yet we continue to abuse it, most of the time saying things we don't mean, or are careless with what we say. We really do need to try and control our mouths, no mater how hard it is, and try not to be the small spark that sets the great forest on fire.

James 3:9-12
With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.

Children of God
I've been thinking of late, well, for a while no, about how we should be Children of God. The idea just dawned upon me one day, sorta out of nowhere. I thought about how kids are so innocent, and how when we grow up we become corrupted by the world.
Like kids don't care about waht they're wearing, where they fit in isocially, whether they're popular. They don't debate on religion or doubt anything. My youth leader, Samuel Danger, said how when you're with kids they're so truthful, they don't lie. I realised that we lose all this when we grow up. We lose this dependance.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing to grow up, it has to happen some day. But just how we should be chi;dren of God, almost literally. Later after I ghad this thought, one night at youth, there was a talk about being children of God, and the speaker said how children have dependance on their parents, like we should have this dependance on God.
Just some thoughts I've been having.

Back baby!
I recently returned from my annual youth group camp. And to be honest, I never wanted to leave, or go back to society ever again.
And now that I've returned, I've got this sinking feeling, that I really do want to withdraw from society. Coming back reminds me of how much I missed - I much I wished didn't exist. I really want to go back and stay back forever, and not worry about anything, and be in constant fellowship with mates. And to have sermons everyday.
And seeing the huge amount of stars was great. It's something that a good 80% of Western society misses out on, which could sway thousands out of thinking that everything that's in existence is a mistake. God created it, and so far, it's one thing in this world that we've yet to ruin, and probably never will. They're amazing. El_josho agrees.
