Either you believe you're a god, or you believe in something greater

Recently, we had the pleasure of having a conversation with our good friend Shawn, to discuss the decline of what would be considered "American theology." Shawn has a past in the Christian church, so most of the discussion centered around his experience.

During our conversation, he brought up an interesting point; that many people, rather than turning to faith, religion, or a belief in something greater than themselves, are turning inward. A statement such as "I'm greater than myself" is almost as confusing as the anecdotal stories that some may have about God (or whatever you may believe in), but a statement such as that exhibits a relatively narcissistic worldview.

Whether you agree with us or not, a belief in something, in our opinion, is always better than a belief in nothing. Or, in an alternative sense, an anthropocentric view of the world. If you're constantly focused on yourself, often, you'll lose focus of what's truly important in life: those around you.
