This one's deep, start digging

Alright, so time for a spiritual one. Umm, I'm not a spiritual person, but there's just so much overwhelming stuff that happens, that you cannot just set it aside as something people have labelled....and also, more than anything else, I think Gen-Y needs this. We're all humans, and we have human traits, well, of course, that's what really makes us human. As humans, we have an uncanny tendency to do things we know aren't right, that we shouldn't do. But the fact remains, few have what it takes to not do it. "Resist the devil and it will flee" I'm not getting all biblical, but I can't help but notice how a person can be tempted to do things he knows are very wrong all along. And then he thinks, how could God still be loving me ? It's not that unique of a question. But its quite simply answered. And usually, God is very kind and he answers it for you. But here's the dark side, we go on again and get back to what it was that started that intense guilt itself. We go back to the ugly side, the side we hate, but refuse to get rid of, just because it seems like too up-hill a task. It's not being an atheist, we tell ourselves, it's being who we are. Well, the question remains, what is it that you think you are ? And quite honestly, nobody can truly answer that. Not today anyway. We all have an idealistic life we want to have for ourselves. We don't even think how tiny the possibility would be of us being provided all that in reality. And yet, I fail to understand, how come we can continue to want all those things, and commit sins at the same time. Has God been taken for granted ? Do we believe in a moment of prayer and a lifetime of sins to be not a sin after all. Well, I doubt that a simple prayer, with those many sin-strings attached before and after, can make a difference when it's time for accounting it all before God. But funnily enough, that's the way it's done by me, you, your best friend, your worst enemy, everyone you care about and who cares for you, seems to have faded God into a figure that is brought into sight only for selfish motives, and by guilt and guilt alone. "The Sin shall not be sacrificed for any and all things, it shall be ridden of for a firm belief in doing what really is right." Now thats deep.
