War Machine recently posted a link on his Twitter account (via Twishort) to a religious-themed essay he wrote. He said that he read a couple of books on Christianity recently, and he said the first Christian book “was great, [and] full of facts that are impossible to argue against.”
And after reading both books, he summarized his new beliefs with this statement:
“I'm embarrassed to only have believed [in Christ] now, when my life is in such turmoil. I feel that it makes me ‘weak,’ that I am abandoning ‘reason’ only in desperation, but that's not what it is. Besides the overwhelming evidence in the books, there are all the ‘coincidences’ in the days surrounding this, as well as my life's history. Why, when I am truly a good, loving person and honestly try to keep my nose clean, do things keep coming out from left field and blindsiding me? Could it not be God saying, ‘Wake up dummy! I'm not gonna let you live this War Machine ego up and allow you to be happy until you learn to love me, the one who made you!’ If I were following Jesus would any of my trouble have ever happened? If I didn't first break Christy's heart through my own selfishness, would she have done what she did? Before her, would I have grown restless with my perfect wife, if I wasn't living for ME, and instead living for Jesus? A few blogs back I wrote about Genghis Kahn and asked -- WWGD -- I've asked that too much in life. If I had asked WWJD I'd be happy and free.”
