• I am grateful for spending a lot of time w James today and learning from him during our lil coffee chat. Few points to remember: belief is a choice. This was kind of ground breaking to me. God’s not punishing unbelievers for something out of their control. He proved his point too: why do we believe science? We never see the actual experiments that are being conducted, we kind of blindly trust the professors telling us about things like ATP synthase b/c of their credibility, we choose to believe them without absolute concrete evidence. So when atheists say they can’t “choose to believe” in God, they seem to choose to believe in science just fine.

I guess there’s only one thing that we can do. It’s cherish the ones closest to us, take pictures to record these memories, reconcile/forgive past grievances, and just remember to be grateful. Life’s a gift. It’s honestly beautiful in all of its forms. And to take that for granted has been a mistake that no one can afford to make.
