"He went to Paris..."

"...looking for answers to questions that bothered him so."

If I were to make a list things I truly despise, there are two thing I know for certain I could tell you about it. First, it would be fairly short, and second, being sick would be towards the top. I am going to try to find a decent doctor soon to shake this cold so I won't be mad at it any more.

So this past weekend was Fall College Conference at Camp McDowell, and it was fun. It is one of the few times I have been able to have fun at camp and not have a multitude of people (most of the time children) dependent on me taking care or them. Not that I don't have fun then too, it's just good to have a change of pace every now and then. On Saturday night, a conversation took place between 20 or so of the people that were also attending. Between listening to the Bama game, tending the fire, and, as Lindsey so eloquently put it, looking lost, I caught bits and pieces of it. I did sit and listen towards the end, where the topic was about whether there is a correct religious group that you should be apart of. Here are my thoughts:

Which religious organization is correct in their beliefs. Who, at the end of times, will God say, "Ok you guys got, you can come in. Sorry," looking at the of the people gathered around," you guys bet on the wrong horse. Hope you brought some shorts." Surely not. Whatever you believe, if it involves a god that is an asshole to others outside your system, then I can say with confidence two words: You're wrong. So back to the question: Who's got it right? Who's got everything figured out? Well, honestly, nobody. How easy it is to forget in a conversation like this that we are human. And by being human, we are "cursed" with the fact that we will probably never have it figured out, especially when it comes to God.

So now that that's out of the way, I guess we can stop asking all these theological questions now, right? We should just not have anymore discussions about why I believe this or why you believe that. There is no reason why we need to change what we believe now because it will be an endless cycle of us getting things wrong. God wants us to keep asking. He wants us to learn more and more about Him and grow closer and closer to Him. He understands that we can't and won't understand everything. Don't fret to much. Within the next 100 years everyone reading this will have seen God, and we'll have eternity to get our questions answered.
