A Time for Everything (Ecclesiastes 3:1-15)

I felt uneasy walking in but by the time I walked out after the free lunch (for first timers), my nerves have settled.

Today's sermon was titled: "Time: Tyranny or Tapestry?" and whilst I did not understand fully what the pastor was going on, I picked up bits along the way so I guess it's ok for someone new like myself. Now the hard part is making the commitment to be a Christian. Everyone made me feel welcome by introducing themselves which was nice. In fact, there's two guys (Richard and Chris) who went to Sydney Boys' so there's some Old Boys connection for you =) Overall it was a fun experience and hopefully next week will be much the same.

Oh Kam I weep for thee. Since I'm not good with words I'll leave you with two quotes which may or may not be relevent.

"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, & the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people."
- Karl Marx

"You have to consider the possibility that God does not like you,
he never wanted you, in all probability... he hates you.
This is not the worst thing that can happen...
We don't need Him!
F**k damnation! F**k redemption!
We're God's unwanted children?! So be it!!!"
- Tyler Durden

i'm impressed with you Jeff that you have balls to look genuinely at religion. i hope you find what you are looking for.

Gan - Karl Marx is a founder of communism... is he a good person to be quoting to prove a point of worth?

Yes...

There is nothing wrong with communism. It just doesn't work because of human nature.
