Why I Believe

I think there’s a good case to be made that religion, especially Christianity, creates the best art and literature and music in the world. I think it’s the truest inspiration. I don’t think I’m gated at all, and never will lose my faith. Primarily because of what I wr[i]te.

Maybe it’s not brilliant. Or, maybe it is? Who knows?

I mean, [one] says “Dark and Light” I agree, but what’s so dark as Satan, and light as Christ? And what’s as poetic as God actually coming, and Himself fighting against Pharaoh?

[Nihilism] is why I suffer. And you too.

I mean, if you truly want to know, all my suffering is associated with [Nihilistic] philosophy. Nihilism steals my hopes, my joys, my dreams… it makes people uncooperative to form healthy relationships and makes them into narcissists. If I suffer, it’s only going to make me more ensconced in my religion, as I’m fully aware [those] ideas are the reason why I do suffer. And every good thing I have, every peace, every purity, every hope, and every joy is associated with Christ and my religion. If I suffer, I’m only going to be more religious, not less, as the link to my suffering is exactly what [Nihilists] believe.

I mean, reason with me. Isn’t joy, peace and love what’s life’s purpose? And doesn’t nihilism make that impossible? Doesn’t love and God make those things more abundant? That’s why I’ll never lose my faith. Nihilism hurts me, and I don’t like pain. I never did. And Christianity is the only religion that isn’t empty. I’ve studied them all, they’re all foolish and filled with folly. Only Christ, and the example He set, is enough to satisfy what I see is good in life, and what [nihilists] believe is enough to help me see why [Christ] is good.
