Welcome!

I, God, welcome you to my blog!

The good book says only God is good, so it seems to me somebody needs to step up.

I hope you enjoy reading this, the Jesse Journal, as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Please feel free to subscribe, write me an email, request that I write about any particular topic you may want my perspective on, send a prayer, click on the charity link, or donate money to my bicycle fund! Have fun!

Your pal, Jess
I'm a straight, virgo/boar INTJ (age 53) who enjoys books, getting out into nature, music, and daily exercise.

F.Y.I. There are about 2200 posts..

Here's a quote from Fyodor Dostoevsky to start things off right: Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.

God's Glory: Thank God I'm an Atheist

I think these two concepts are entirely compatible.




In two ways:
1. God (Other) wants you to be an atheist, for His own reason(s).
2. You are God, yourself. God is love or goodness or something and you "give glory" to that by encouraging like behavior in others, by setting an example.
The point is, all you religious folk, I think the main idea is not if people mouth the same beliefs as you (in the same terminology), but whether others act according to your values. So, in my view, if people give themselves glory instead of "God", I say you should be okay with that, if they're setting an example. And if that self-glorifying person/mentor professes an unbelief in God, I imagine you'll think God made that person an atheist...
