   I bet Tony told you that! That sounds like something he would say 😉

     No, I made it up myself while I was driving home from work yesterday. I always feel that in life there are things that are good, things that are better, and things that are the best. We should always be striving to make more and more of our decisions for that which is BEST. We won’t always choose the best in every single situation (and we’d drive ourselves crazy if we tried to!), but as long as we are making more “better” and more “best” decisions on a more frequent basis, then we are moving in the right direction. When you always settle only for things that are merely “good” or even worse, only “okay” or just plain “not so bad” then you are not making any progress. Enough philosophizing!

       Hey! Look! I’m tlaking to myself! Huzzah! I think you forgot to check your name because I was definetly still signed in. LOL ^-^

       But if you think of it that way, you could just as easily say:
       being bored is better than being raped.
       playing video games is better than being bored.
       Nothing is better than playing video games.

       or something else…what i eman is, it turns into this endless and hopeless cycle because there is always going to be something worse or better than everything else.

         Now I am myself again! And it is not a hopeless cycle. The end result of ALL comparisons is that NOTHING is better than God. In your example, “Playing video games is better than being bored…GOD is better than playing video games.” And He is, because he made you and he made the video games, and he made the electricity to run the video games, and the TV to play them on, etc. etc., so you see, NOTHING is better than God. “Through Him all things have come into being, and without Him, nothing has come into being that has come into being.”

           I know what you’re saying, but if you’re going to use this argument on a non-christian or a skeptical person, ou may want to find answeres to the Golden Questions:

           “But if God made everything, then didn’t he also make pain and death and murder and drugs and boredom?”

           and when you say “No, people created those things..”

           they will say:

           “Well, didn’t God create people, and didnt he let them create those things, soit can all berooted back to God.”

           Just soemthing to think about incase you want to try and convince people.
