I noticed that many of the songs we played in church today centered around a theme of people being in shame, hopeless, and in chains. Then I realized it was because the sermon topic was Acts 26, discussing Paul in chains making his case with King Agrippa and Festus. Agrippa considered what Paul had to say, but Festus was like "dude, you're bat crazy." I then discuss a Table of Contents I recently compiled for my book, Oh The Humanity. It's not published officially, but you can contact me and buy it if you want. It's a 1,200 page pdf file right now LOL, although there's a page break after each chapter, so some of those pages are blank. It's about 420 pages long if it were in a hard copy.
By the way, the word I couldn't think of while recording this was ambition. On the one hand humans are being described as being completely covered in shame, in guilt, in a tomb as it were, and more or less like zombies. My point is that no, human beings can be ambitious and recover from hard times with the help of friends. With a little pride and ambition too and learning from others. Jesus isn't a way out for you, since he died like all other human beings have. But learning from other people, especially those who have lived since the world was discovered to be round, is the right option if you are struggling. And if you're not struggling, consider helping others, with no secret religious agenda. Just because it's the right thing to do and you want to experience the happiness of helping people..
