What Do You Believe In?

Ghosts? God? Aliens? Love? Sleeping in on Sunday? What do you truly believe in, GP?

For me, I believe in:

- The healing power of laughter
- Ghosts
- Knocking on wood
- A higher power
- Fate

  • I believe in God with all my heart. I also believe that I am a sinner and could never make it to heaven or be right with God on my own accord, no matter how "good" I am. I believe that Jesus came to earth, lived a sinless life, died for us, and was raised back to life 3 days later just so that if we believe, God looks at us through Jesus' blood and sees his perfection, making us right with him.

    I also believe that music is good for the heart and soul.

    In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

    • life after death (ghosts, spirits, afterlife, what have you...)
    • Karma (with a capital K)
    • the healing powers of both laughter and positive thinking

    • true love
    • dancing like no one's watching, singing like no one can hear me, and loving like I'm going to die tomorrow
    • my own strength to overcome pretty much anything
    • moderation, not deprivation
    I'm sure that there's more, but these are the things I can think of off hand. :)

    ETA: Science/reason and evolution, but not without some *hint* of divine influence. I just can't reason that the entire, beautiful Universe was created out of chaos.
  • That pants are evil I was born in the wrong decade That internet strangers make the best friends That everyone deserves the right to love whoever they want and not have people give them shit about it Letting everyone live how they choose Love That God created the brains to heal and help people.
    What decade? And why?

    Thanks for answering the question for me, ladies! Sorry I disappeared. 

    Yes,in Judaism we do not write any of His names. We're not prohibited from writing it, per se, but we are prohibited from erasing/defacing it, so most Jews will avoid writing it for any reason because of the risk of it later being erased or defaced accidentally by someone who does not know better.
