I am really not sure who cares but still here's an attempt at an explanation
I am not quite sure why I removed most of the blogs either. In a drastic move I decided to hide most of my blogs for now. In my mind I asked myself why and the sole reason was simply because I can. I guess that it is a way of retreating into my shell from the virtual world. Slowly I am re-posting some but I am not sure when my mind will revolt against the world wide web again.

Another random consideration
Why do bad things happen?
Just like how we test the strength of a vase or something by putting stress on it so to the mind and the will are tested. These tests are hard but its what God gave us.
How else can character be built if it is never tested?
But sometimes why does man have to face the hardest tests?

On religious tolerance
A bit of insight, on My hi5 profile I chose to put a pic of lord shiva, for some reason this guy became offended over it, I cannot understand why since it is my profile and I believe that i should be allowed to put whatever I want. well anyways he decided to speak his mind and these are the conversations that followed.
(last message from guy, given his response I never even bothered to respond, I would only explain to one who will listen)
well what proof does ur bible have about the world today,and how come ur God looks only one race?

I am not angry at you, a bit sad though that you couldn't see beyond your own views and what you have been thought to believe.
what makes this world unique is that each person has his own views, and are entitled to them.
Why are we not made in the likeness of Shiva? have you seen the form of shiva? Shiva is in the form of a man. His dress is traditional of an asthetic, so where am I not in his form?
You do not understand my view, which is okay, I grew up with alot of comments like yours.
I see Shiva as a manifestation, a, tangible form of the divine, what is wrong with that? It is mine belief just as you have yours.
you said that you come with love and truth, where is love that you try to change the view of another because it will not match yours?
I have read the bible, and many other scriptures, it is not what i was thought to belive, but rather what i have chosen to believe,based on my prayer and life. I have faith in Shiva and the path that I have chosen, and I am sure that you have faith in your path as well.
We are all sparks of the divine, no matter what nomination you choose, we are all human, temporal just passing through this earth, Man already disagrees over many things, it is our differences that make us unique, so why bother if I have a different faith thatn yours?
You mentioned a living God, even the concept of saying that limits the powers of the divine force.Shiva is given many forms, and there is the formless form as well.
Do we not both believe that nothing is possible without the grace of God. I chose to accept this grace in the Form of Shiva, how does that adversely affect you?
If you read this till the end then please do read the poem in my profile.
And please note I would not hate someone over an e-mail.

couldn't help but disagree with you love.Shiva is not everything God is everything.Like it or not one day we will see his glory and know that he is God.Shiva cannot save you only the Lord Jesus can.You may hate me for doing this but I come with love and the truth.We were made in the likeness of God not what you may think.I know that you grew up believing one thing but look for the truth.For evidence,everything in the Bible has come and is coming to past.What other book has the events that are happening now.I hope that you are not mad and sorry if you are.I do this out of love and concern.Jesus is real and he is coming again.If you don't want to talk to me I understand but if you do I am waiting.May God bless you and I pray that he will quicken your spirit as you read this.There are many Gods to people.But really there is only one true living God.You keep good dear.Laterz
