what the BLEEP do we know?

I will start by saying that I do think the film was creative and original. I liked the combination of animation, visual effects, and "expert" testimonials inserted throughout the story. However, that is where my enjoyment of the film ended. I respect the thought process behind the film and can even see why it may be intriguing. Quantum physics is trendy. Instead of answering to our creator, the One who gave us life, let's make our own rules. Let's make our own reality where there is no right or wrong. Except for religion and believing the truths of the Bible, of course ... that's wrong.

I have debated for hours over this blog post and can't bring myself to spend anymore time on. This film evoked a lot of emotion in me, including anger and offense. I am sure you can sense that from my sarcasm above. But in the end, this movie makes me thankful. I am blessed to know the truth. I know why I am here, and I know my purpose. I was created to serve the Holy God that created me and to love every other person on this earth the way that He loves me. He knew way before He made me (and everyone else) that my nature was not like His and that I would continuously fall short of the perfect, pure goodness that is in His presence. Unlike anything else that has ever happened in the history of time, God took on the human form, walked the earth, died a horrible death, and was resurrected. He made this sacrifice so that the people He created could be with Him one day, despite the fact that we offend Him over and over again. He has more power than we could ever comprehend, but He still loved us enough the die so that we could be with Him. He doesn't need you or me to be part of His plan, but we desperately need Him. I am in awe of everything about our Lord and not only am called to live for Him, I truly want to.
