	So today being ash wednesday, on my way to church i started to wonder, how do we know that by putting the ashes on our head were not disrespecting him? and this goes for all our holidays. like for christmas by making your parents lie to the kids about santa and buy them presents, isnt that almost like bribing a kid to beleive in god? and on easter too, by giving out candy to help celebrate that holiday. I know theres probably reasonable explanations for these, lets hear them... We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams. -Willy Wonka

	"How do we know if we are doing what god wants?" >pray >reading his Word >a continual relationship Love Him through everything the good and the bad...give your cares, worries, doubts, fears, successes, goals to him because he died for your sins dude...no longer does any kind of 'works' or how good you do can get you into his presence (heaven) but it was a free gift when christ died for you dude...take it or leave it friend :mrgreen: on christs solid rock i sand, all other ground is sinking sand remember the martyred christians

	Not to be contradictory, but, how do we know god exists? and if he doesnt, how can we benifit ourselves as people through what god wants? (Not religous, just curious...its kind of an oxymoron, my names christian yet im not religous)

Or, since he supposedly made us in the image of him or whatever, then by all the killing and raping and bombing and unprotected sex and trying prove he is a joke, then WE ARE DOING WHAT HE WANTS US TO DO. Remember, he's watching............pervert. :mrgreen:
