I sometimes receive arguments like this one:
"There are so many rules in the Bible: from how to dress to how to behave, to how to react and what to do with your life. Who in the world would want to live by a book of restrictions and regulations!? Why do you subject yourself to that? It's stressful and disconnects you from what's happening around you. It keeps you from experiencing life."
There are times when people won't understand. From their point of view you're a naive individual with legalistic ideas. They don't comprehend that it's not the rules and guidelines your following. It's God.
"Just make an exception."
My faith is such a huge part of ME, it's virtually impossible for me to ignore it's impact on my way of life. Decisions are make by it and Life is defined by it. I look to the Bible to help me distinguish the best wait to be myself.
"You're missing out on experiencing life."
That Bible, is Life. To reject it would be to reject Life.
I can't let that book go. I can't. I won't. I'm a bible banger.
My argument:
Is it possible to live complete without knowing that there's a greater purpose for their existence? When you're not sure what to do, what thing to go for or what to let alone, where do you look for answers?! Is it you that determines what's right and wrong?! That mass murder-er thought he was doing something right... A life that's rule-less and reckless, doesn't sound appealing. Sorry.
The day, when life without the Bible turns into something better than what it's like WITH it I'll considering letting it collect dust.
