WHY THIS TOMATO

People believe an awful lot of things today.. But can everything be believed? On this blog you find a few very well known opinions. You probably heard all of them.  But… are they right or wrong? It is too dangerous to be mistaken! I hope you react, for the purpose of this blog is to have good and useful chats. See you!

1. DEAD IS DEAD

“Do you agree?” I asked an elderly man. “I do” he said. When I asked him why he was so sure about it, he replied: “I lost my wife a few years ago and haven’t seen her since.” A bit perplexed by his answer, I asked him: “But does that mean there is no afterlife? Probably for the first time in his life, that made him think. I was happy I could make him think, for nobody can afford to be mistaken about this. What do you think? Is dead, dead?

2. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU BELIEVE

  A very widespread idea, because… who can know what is true in our modern world with so many ideas and religions around us? That is why many have chosen to be indifferent. But… does it matter? Are we free to believe whatever we want to believe? Doesn’t that have consequences? Aren’t we taking a too big risk by giving up thinking about life and its purpose? What do you think? Does it matter?

3. I AM A GOOD PERSON

  Who would like to believe the opposite? But…. by what standard do we judge ourselves to be good or bad? Our personal feelings? Society? What others think of us?  That all sounds very subjective. Without an absolute standard it is impossible to know what is good and bad. And then the statement “I am a good person” doesn't make sense. Does such an absolute standard exists or not? What do you think? 

4. WE CAME FROM NOWHERE AND ARE GOING NOWHERE

In other words, we are spinning through the universe, sitting on a big rock for no reason at all. A thing many believe today…. but how do they know that is true?  Again, being mistaken about the question if life has a purpose is so essential that being mistaken about it is very dangerous. What do you think?

6. WE ARE JUST BAGS OF STARDUST

That is what you can hear in almost every school or university. We are no more than the products of some big dusty explosion that took place a long time ago. But… the question is: Can dead bags of stardust see anything, smell or hear anything? And can they come up with a standard of truth and morality? Difficult.  But here is the funny thing: We do see, hear, smell and so on. That leaves us with the question: Are we just bags of stardust indeed? What do you think?

DON'T MISS THIS BAD STORY WITH GOOD NEWS!

  "SWIMMING FORBIDDEN" read a large sign at the lake. It was a hot day and the hiker could not resist the temptation to go for a dip. Suddenly he was stung by a fish and immediately regretted going for a dip. It was a fish with venomous spines. His foot swelled up and he began having hallucinations. While he lived a long time, it was never without the consequences of that sting. God has warned us, with big signs, not to do what He has forbidden because He knew what the consequences would be. Of course… we couldn't resist the temptation. Our world is full of people who suffer the consequences every day. Some have started hallucinating and believing strange things. Others see their lives falling apart. Others suffer from feelings of meaninglessness and really don't know why they are actually alive. Still others are rich and happy and believe the delusion that things are not too bad. But the poison continues, fast or slow and this poison always leads to death. There is o...
