God's Message

On this day of your life, we believe God wants you to know ... that it's time you let go.

Yes, of course, you want to control so everything happens in just the way you want it. But at the end of the day, we control nothing, - it's all in God's hands, - has always been, and will always be. So, do what you can, and then let go, and let God handle the rest.

If this is true, doesn't it invalidate every religious text?

The devil is in the details so i've heard.

 At the risk of a minor thread hijack, is there any policy around this sort of discussion in the forums? I was under the impression it was supposed to be avoided so we can focus on Chess? I'm always down for a discussion on religion, but I thought the admins preferred if we didn't : D

 Yes, it does.

I agree, it only cuses arguments, enough trouble in the world due to religion as it is.

yes, religious discussion is pretty much frowned upon in the forums. Sorry to say

Incomprehensible silliness. You actually get a whole chapter in my book, entitled: "Existence is dumber than I thought it was"

天命之謂性,率性之謂道,脩道之謂教。

道也者,不可須臾離也,可離非道也。是故君子戒慎乎其所不睹,恐懼乎其所不聞。

What Heaven has conferred is called THE NATURE; an accordance with this nature is called THE PATH of duty; the regulation of this path is called INSTRUCTION.

The path may not be left for an instant. If it could be left, it would not be the path. On this account, the superior man does not wait till he sees things, to be cautious, nor till he hears things, to be apprehensive.

Religious and political debates aren't allowed in the public forums, but they are welcome in the open discussion forums.
