surely reexamining your beliefs can never be a bad thing...can it?

sorry king... but reality doesnt require anyone's perception, or belief

when reality contradicts your beliefs, do you shut your eyes to reality?...or do you reexamine your beliefs?
My friend, The world contradicts my Faith and Belief.
Do I re-examine my Faith? YES.
It makes it STRONGER.
Good Q*.

So far, I haven't found anything in reality that alters my beliefs, and I'm a Bible-believing Christian. The trick is knowing what lies are being paraded as "reality".
For example, an atheist might say. "Look at all these dinosaur bones! How can you not believe in evolution?" My answer would be, "The presence of dinosaur bones only proves that these animals once existed and that they died. It does NOT prove that they lived millions of years ago or that they had parents different from themselves. However, this is being shoved down our throats as "reality", when it's anything but.
My Bible tells me that dinosaurs lived before the Flood with Man; the Flood came and wiped them all out, forming the fossils (which are only found in sedimentary rock, by the way). Noah brought some baby dinosaurs on the Ark. Some survived afterwards, and some became extinct. The ones that survived explain all the dragon legends found in every culture of antiquity on the Earth, and explain modern cryptozoology. Humans killed off most of them, and today all but a few are extinct. They are much smaller today than they were before the Flood. Some of the species believed to be still alive are plesiosaurus, cadborosaurus, diplodocus, pterodactyl, quetzalcoatlus, and possibly a few others that live in the ocean.

Reality is Perception.
Try reexamining your preconceptions.
Choose your beliefs.

Of course I would reexamine my beliefs - in a heartbeat. Christ said, "the truth shall set you free." Who am I to question Him?

What the bible says is true no matter what reality says.
That's how people get healed of sickness, they don't look at the sickness but they stand on the promises of GOD.

haven't seen any reality which has contradicted my belief system yet. when one appears will then decide if my thinking needs to be readjusted.

As a Christian we must believe the bible. Reality can be false but the bible can never be false. Questioning our beliefs is the path to hell.
