“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Matthew 23:23-24, Jesus speaking

I know I’ve heard of atheists making fun of it, so I thought I may as well talk about it. Continue reading “Pascal’s Wager”
The Tenth Dimension
So late last night I came across this delightful little video and decided to make it my first post. Well, second if you want to get technical. First real post that will conform to the theme of this blog. It may take a bit to understand, but I think the video explains the concept very well.
