Religion 3.0 - incidental events

Coincidences often appear intentional. I start blogging about religion, rediscover the bible given me aged 15 to commemorate my induction as a Salvation Army cadet, and just now a pair of Jehovah's Witnesses have left a copy of the Watchtower.

Once upon a time, not so long ago, I would have stood on our doorstep as if in a dock. Facing me were people who were Certain of Themselves, and of the Universe we share. I would have been Uncertain, and afraid - but quite what of I would not have dared to investigate.

Today was different. Instead of fear I was curious: how would my (not yet fully developed) Certainty measure up? Are we competing, and if so, for what? They will be back, I am promised, when we shall see :-)

Well perhaps it's time to do a bit of soul searching of what you believe and stand for...

One can only be certain of themselves if they have done a fair and balanced investigation thru various independent sources. May that be your endeavor in whatever you pursue ;^)
