Well I know I've only been around for a couple of decades but in that short amount of time I've made (I think) some pretty substantial discoveries and had some pretty deep thoughts. Of course I may just be flattering myself but of course it's MY web page so I'm allowed. As with the rest of my pages this one is going to be ever evolving and growing. I'd love to make this one a great spectacle and almost a temple unto itself where people can come to find truth. Once again I may be flattering myself, but we're all allowed to dream right? :)
One of the most important and hardest things to do in this world is to get people to truly understand just what exactly it is that you're trying to say. In order to promote understanding I will begin this page by defining terms.
Religion was established to answer the questions of the universe in a time when science couldn't answer a lot. The entire point of religion is to provide comfort and help people understand just exactly how they fit in this crazy world. Anytime ANY religion becomes something that hurts it is not doing what it was created to do.
I do happen to believe that there is a Being out there more powerful than we can concieve of who is responsible for the creation of everything around us. I don't believe He's nessicarily as hands on as people would like to think but He is always there and always paying attention. Being raised with a background in Chrisitanity I call this Being God and generally refer to Him with male pronouns. I'm not so dilluted to assume that something like gender actually applies to an etherial being so far above us but it just makes things easier for communication purposes.

Religion and Philosophy have always been things that have intregued me. Over the coming years of my life I hope to read and learn as much as possible about the subject. I'm currently beginning with what I know best and starting with the Bible. Thanks to my friend Gretchen we've motivated each other to start studying this text which has motivated some of the greatest (and most infamous) people and events in the history of man. Eventually I hope to read the holy books from all religions around the world. At least the mainstream ones...if I spent all my time researching religion (which wouldn't exactly be a bad thing) I'd never get any movies and stuff made. So keep checking up on this page, who knows what insights I may provide :). If you have any comments on improvements, thoughts or even disagreements don't be afraid to e-mail me at mattsmovies@cs.com . I look forward to hearing from you.
