Detergent to clean the mind

I feel like I needed to add a little something to the last blog that I posted. I feel as though some people may think that I've put too much faith into the idea of my tarot card reading and well I think that's not the case. It's just interesting to think about the situation and to honestly see if it was right. Sometimes I feel we are not that much in control of our lives as we think we are. I mean think about it, when we think of free will we think I have the power and will to do whatever I want. I thought so too but if you are religious and believe in God, is this really the case? Think about it, they say that God has our lives already planned out for us and that he knows our every move so does that mean that we actually have free will? That we've ever made a decision on our own? I don't know but that is something to think about. Sometimes I feel that I've studied religion so much that my faith is in question. This actually reminds me of The Colbert Report, I was watching it today on my phone and they had this guy on talking about intelligent design and he said the bible is a great religious telling but not a scientific telling. That one should not believe the bible as literal when it comes to certain aspects especially the one of creation. The idea that the bible is supposed to be scientific is not the case, it is just supposed to tell you how great God is and what he/she can do for you. This makes a lot more sense and leaves the mind something to ponder.
