Let's get rich and buy our parents homes in the south of France.

Let's get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance...

So it's been more that 3 months since my last post, and I've been sleeping an awful lot lately, so I'm not tired yet. I guess it's time for another one!

So the big thing that's been on my mind recently is the image of God. What does it mean to be made in His image? Have you ever really thought about it? Sure, the Bible says in Genesis that He created man in His image; male and female, He created them. But it never really defines that...

I hold to the belief that the idea that we were created in His image is that we have souls. Every single human being has one, and we are the only species that was given one. If any one thing makes us human, I would say that's it.

But what does it matter? A human is a human; why would anyone think any differently?

Because the view you hold on this will directly influence your thoughts about the physically or mentally impaired, and what rights they should have; it will affect the view you hold on abortion; it will challenge your thoughts and actions towards people that are different from you.

It matters because what happened just decades ago in Germany is something that could happen again. The pitiless slaughter of millions of people happened because a nation was led to believe that a certain race was less than human, and responsible for the de-moralization of society. It matters.

And on that light note, it's time for bed. :)
