    i have no idea about the choas theory or the other thing you said, i just know lewt's best thinking got him into the mess in the first place so the chance's of Lewt's thinking getting him out were slim to nil.... as habbi underlined its a god of my own uderstanding, aint no relguios or punishing one, or i'd be knackerd.... if you dont try you'll never know...
    If i upset you don't stress, never forget that god aint finished with me yet.

    heh heh

    I so full of myself, I actually do think I am better than other people :D
    I should be the higher power! bow down before me etc :D

    lets not get into another pointless disagreement, you are all right in your own heads, what else matters?

    Just thought I'd share some nice lyrics with you :p Waylon Jennings - I do believe

    In my own way I'm a believer
    in my own way right or wrong
    I don't talk too much about it
    it's something I keep working on
    I don't have too much to build on
    my faith has never been that strong

    there's a man in that old building
    he's a holy man, they say
    he keeps talking about tomorrow
    while I keep struggling with today
    he preaches hell, fire and brimstone
    and heaven seems so far away

    I do believe in a higher power
    one that loves us one and all
    not someone to solve our problems
    or to catch me when I fall
    he gave us all a mind to think with
    and to know what's right or wrong
    he is that inner spirit
    that keeps us strong

    in my own way I'm a believer
    but not in voices I can't hear
    I believe in a loving father
    one I never have to fear
    that I should live life at it's fullest
    just as long as I am here

    Yes I got to the point where it was Him or nothing and I'd seen what 'nothing' had done in my life so I decided to give it a go
