You don’t. Trust is only necessary when knowledge is unavailable. There should always be indicators but there can never be proof. For example the phrase, “I trust that I am aware of this sentence” is interpreted as “I know that I am aware of this sentence” and use of the word “trust” in that context may be interpreted as indicating that knowledge is a starting point for trust.

A more useful question might be “What do I know that gives me an indication that I can trust you?” I trust this is what you mean by your question.

For your answer, you can have no scientific proof because I am not confined to a lab and if you put me in one, I assure you the answer to your question will be, “No”.

I’ve started reading blogs again. Zoomtard always reminds me of how unfair this world is. Why Calvin and not me?

And why did someone else have such a good year? Obviously this is the kind of thing that happens when you do what your parent (heavenly) tells you. Why am I the one to always get it wrong? It’s God’s fault anyway. He made me be like this. He made me.

Jesus says, spend more time with me, and I say, but I’ve got so much to do (because he made me say that). Anyway when I look around I notice he was actually on the phone to Martha so his comment wasn’t directed at me. It takes me a year before I realise working doesn’t work. Or maybe it just takes an actual holiday where I get time to listen, reflect and think. Christmas actually turned out to be about Christ this year for me, ridiculously.

Maybe 2009 will be better. I’m not going to make a new years resolution to open my heart and mind to what is Real instead of getting caught up in duty, because of predestination. I don’t need to try. After all, I was obviously destined to get closer to God by the end of 2008 and it happened in the end even though I didn’t do what I was told.

Wait, didn’t I make that mistake last year?

Your correspondent – re-writing other people’s punchlines. But not re-using them, no, that wouldn’t make me look good.
