God’s perspective

Personally, I am an atheist, but I was asked to write a piece on what god would want to say to us if we did believe. This may help you decide if you should believe in a god or not.

…

You asked for strength, I gave you difficulties to make you strong.

You asked for wisdom, I gave you problems to solve.

You asked for courage, I gave you dangers to overcome.

You asked for love, I gave you a heart.

I gave you nothing you wanted; you received everything you needed.

I have answered your prayers.

 

I gave you a brain for knowledge, you invented crime.

I gave you hands, you created weapons.

I gave you fresh air, you pollute it.

I gave you healthy lungs, you destroy them with smoke.

I gave you clean water, yet you don’t share.

I gave you everything you needed; you did what you wanted.

Answer your own prayers.

 

I gave you peace. You chose war.

 

Lest we forget

What do you know about Remembrance Day?

poppy

Here’s what I know:

This year celebrates the 100th anniversary since the war finished in 1918.

It’s always celebrated on a Sunday, closest to the 11th.

There’s a 2 minute silence to honour the soldiers, held at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, marking the end of the First World War.

The poppy symbolises a memorial to those who died in World War I.

It is also known as Armistice Day.

For the Fallen – Laurence Binyon

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them.
