This is Jacob

Hello. Heej. Hallo. Beinevue.

A few months ago, I suppose I would be sitting down watching the Fox News network *Snip* to reflect on the world according to "world news." However this is before I moved into my current residence where tv is, I don't want to say "not allowed," but certainly frowned upon. In the place of the idiot box I have filled with volumes of written knowledge. But this only worsens my plight, you see, the more knowledge I gain, the more cold I become. I am not trying to be a sensitive poet here, but the truth is what it is. And the truth is that I have a great hatred for much of my brother man. This has made me xenophobic at best.

In any case, I have been a daily visitor to ats for some months now, and have held membership for at least one month, but now I feel that I may submerge myself into this community. I hope you may welcome me.

Hey there Jacob.
Please, don’t give up on man yet.


I am a Christian & I know my constant Christian toting on this board will probably earn me a bad name, but I don’t care.


According to Christian faith, mankind suffers from a sin nature, which was gained during the original fall of man.
This fall severed our spiritual connection with God, thus we died spiritually that day or ancestors ate from the Tree of Knowledge.


Once Jesus Christ died for us, we have the option of reestablishing that spiritual connection, by accepting him into our lives and acknowledging his power and his sacrifice for us.


This acknowledgement and acceptance of Jesus allows the Holy Spirit to enter our hearts and begin to slowly transform us – teaching us why things are wrong and showing us why they are wrong.



Now, some people may say this is just a load of Christian rubbish – but to me it explains so much.
Even if you do not believe in God – we have to admit that mankind has a sickness, which is addiction to sinful deeds.



Our pride and arrogance is what causes so much sadness in the world.
Not money, etc. These are just symptoms of the problem.
The source of Earths problems lies in the hearts of man.



Only through Jesus Christ, in my humble opinion, can our hearts begin to be transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit. In my opinion.

Also, it is important to look at the beautiful side of life too -- not constantly dwell in the negative.


This is a good forum for information and strange topics, but it is also full of negative ideas and thoughts.


Don't dwell soly in the neative, also visit sights that show beauty.
