Religious Experiment #1: The Bible |
I will be reading the Bible and posting a day-to-day blog about my thoughts, regarding the text. In some way or form I will try to relate it to current events. The overall question I am trying to tackle: Does the Bible hold up in this new Century? Please note that I will try my best to remain unbiased as I have no religious connection whatsoever. Please leave your comments and if you choose to e-mail me with questions, please do. I would love to hear your thoughts as well. [I've installed a comment section, so feel free to leave comments on the posts.] MY PERSONAL TUMBLR: LYKAN™ Drop me a line and say hello. =) |

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Used by Nelson Mandela in his 1994 inaugural speech
