Wandering Minds

I don't believe in mysticism. Or anything like that. I have to separate myself from it. I mean, it's not a bad thing. I'd like to read about it. But I can't. I'd be breaking the Lord's law. I barely can stand to write about it. I feel as if I'm doing something wrong. And a lot of my favorite television shows, such as Full Metal Alchemist, Naruto and other shows have to do with hand signs and symbols that aren't of God. Even a lot of comic books and novels I read have to do with magic and mysticism.
I don't know how to stay away from it when it's everywhere. And when it's so entertaining. Not to practice or worship it. But to read of it. To have it undergo conflicts. To create new rules and abide by old in my stories. I have to steer clear of it. I focus more on science fiction, the closest to magic there is without seeming evil.
It's interesting to learn this of myself.
I'm not knocking Christian law. The reason I am such a devout Christian is that I believe in the values it instills. Even though some people say you can be a good person without believing in God or really anything, I think that's the first step toward destruction of ones spirit. Belief is sacred. It has helped people go through such difficult times.
It has also fueled wars. I will not deny that. That is, it has fueled MAN's wars. People say it is God's fault for all the deaths. Well maybe not God, but the religion itself. I guess humans have become perfect somewhere down the line. Did I miss that? Or did manipulation of the Good Book and corruption of man disappear from the history books while I wasn't looking. It's funny how when there's something good, Man has overcome. But when something bad happens, God has allowed it to happen.
Ah well, maybe it's for the best. To have someone to blame that is. There might be a lot more wars if we all blamed each other for our troubles.
