A believer in God necessarily lives differently than a non-believer. We live outside the box of human constraints and philosophies.

Our roaming space is the breadth of a universe, and beyond–wherever God, our life-giver and sustainer, has presence, we may also thrive.

Religion is not a section of who we are–it’s mixed in the atoms–it’s who we are on a fundamental, cellular–level. That’s why we think different, act different, are different: We’re normal. We follow the law of logic and nature by not divorcing life from it’s source. (Try it for a while; think scientifically).

It follows therefore, that I’m a vegan. It follows therefore that I’m a pacifist–not depriving others of life.It follows that I eat and drink and dress and clean and walk and talk and listen to and watch and read and everything else, in a manner conducive to excellency and wholeness of mind, body, and spirit. Essentially, it follows that I’m a Christian:

And a Christian is not "balanced" by being both religious and secular. That’s just plain confused . Does God ever take a break from being Himself? So if we claim to be His followers, why would we even want a break from being that?

It’s absurd to clamor for things like Christian rock, mock meat, partying pastors,  modest adornment, and other distorted ideals.

As a Christian, I pattern myself after no one less than God Himself. How can I go wrong? He’s got the owner’s manual.

Just an aside: that’s why I have no problem going to Church.  The Scriptures say this about the Church: "And He [God] put all things under His [Christ’s] feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all." (Ephesians 1:22, 23).

Imagine–we’re part of that fullness, filling all in all. I’m not just a kid on an orphaned planet–I’m part of the world beyond the universe. I am one with all consciousness, and equally valued.
