  • It’s less like a single act than it is like a treaty. I think Brexit is a great parallel.

    Kids born today in the UK and henceforth going forward forever (unless something changes) will not enjoy the benefits of being part of the EU. They once did, but they chose to leave. The UK decided “No, we don’t want to be bound by those rules.”

    But these new kids didn’t decide that. These kids may be upset about that. They may wonder “Why am I being held responsible for actions that were taken by people (20, 50) a hundred years ago?”

    But it’s done. There was a relationship once, but we withdrew from it. Now we’re on our own. You didn’t get the protections without following the terms.







  • I’m not worried about dying. I believe if I’m here on earth I’m here for a reason and so I’m content to be here until such time as I’m not needed anymore. I enjoy being with my family and having a cup of tea with my wife, as someone here has already mentioned.

    I know there are a lot of distinctions in religion but I don’t believe being “really good” is an option for humans. I believe being saved from our innate brokenness is the only way anyone could possibly go to heaven. I’m not particularly attracted to religious things or practices.

    So yes, I’m excited to go be with God, but I’m not about to take matters into my own hands. It would fly in the face of humbling yourself before the Almighty.
