- Arthur FieldsI question my belief every day because of ideas from intelligent men like Dr. John Henrick Clarke, Alain LeRoy Locke, and Langston Hughes. However, the word of God from a Christian perspective will always remain with me. Like many of us, we went to church on Sunday, at least once. I know for certain in this life we come to situations where we must act, I call it the pinch, when multiple solutions exist but pressure makes you take the fastest method to escape a situation. For example, millions of young males are accepting plea bargains instead of a trial when it comes to a legal action. Many young men end up getting probation and remain in and out of jail for an extended period of time due to probation or parole violation, parables from the Bible do work to guide our path in this life. In the moment of now there is no history or future, and change is inevitable. We only have struggle and choices toward the light or the dark like the seed in growing in the earth, roots burrow into the dark earth, while leaves and flowers of a plant reach for the light of the sun. Personally, I am stuck on Christ, I've been a Christian as long as I've known how to spell my name. However, I think there for I am, God is in me so therefore I am in God, you are in God so we all our in God, therefore God is our community on earth. I refuse to have blind faith, so I question authority and practice my beliefs. Spiritual experiences are a subjective point of view, but we share similar beliefs and ideas which generates an objective view of an idea. These ideas are stories to guide to guide our actions in the now. As I have practiced the way for decades, I find the Bible help in decision making when it comes to moral issues. Anyway, just thinking.
