Sin predisposes us to want to be independent of God, to be laws unto ourselves or autonomous, so that we can do what we want without bowing to His authority. At the most basic level, idols are what we make out of the evidence for God within ourselves and in the world, if we do not want to face the face of God Himself in his majesty and holiness.  Rather than look to the Creator and have to deal with his lordship, we orient our lives toward the creation, where we can be more free to control and shape our lives in our desired directions… since we were made to relate to God; but do not want to face Him (and let him control and shape us), thus we forever inflate things in the world to religious proportions to fill the vacuum left by God’s exclusion… We do not just eliminate God, but we erect God-substitutes in his place.

An animated musical based on the story of Persephone. The story takes place one thousand years ago in Ethiopia. Persephone is promised by her father to Hades and she’s forcefully taken to the pits of the underworld. After some time Persephone begins to open her mind to the idea of being the wife of Hades and in return Hades begins to open his heart.

Nergui -- A Cinderella Story

 So Nergui is the name of my version of Cinderella. It’s based on Mongolian culture, that’s why I felt like calling her Cinderella a little weird and changed her name. Nergui means “no name” in Mongolian by the way. The class is heavy, but the outcome is satisfying.

It's irritating how clueless some of my so called facebook "friends" are.

I just caught sight of this: "like Andy Gray being sacked by Sky Sports is proof that women can't take banter."

Here's what's wrong, (in my eyes, i've taken to not sharing these views on facey as my male friend have an alarmign tendency to turn around and say "what about meeeen?")

Firstly, "women can't take banter" Nice sexist generalisation. I personally am shit with banter, however I know many women who are excellent at it. Which brings me to my next point.

It was not banter. Have any of these people listened to the audio clip? You can hear them say it, believe me, they're serious. He says it like fact "Women don't know the offside rule" Obviously women do know the offside rule, I don't, but my mother does, my grandmother does and all other women who follow football and others besides.

Another thing, did you see the clip of Gray talking to that woman. He was asking her to tuck his shirt in, i.e. touch his penis. Why should anyone put up with sexual harrasment like that? It's disgusting.

A futher thing, the clip with Keys talking about Redknapp's girlfriend or ex girlfriend. He refers to having sex with this woman as "smashing it" I doubt any reasonable human can't see what's wrong with this. She's a person. Not a thing, not a object, not a piece of meat. Watching that made me feel genuinely ill.

Thank you for reading my rant. I feel somewhat calmer.
