She was asking my opinion on God, based on a paper I am writing for class. I sad similar things to you, that I didn't think there was a God, talked about how I used to pray and believe so fervently when I was a child, but how there was nothing there for me. I asked why doesn't he save the children from illness, and rape, and abuse. I told her that the line, he gives us all free will doesn't work for me. I told her of how people say "lean not unto my own understanding", but I felt that it was a cop out. What should I lean unto, something I can't see, that as far as I can tell is impotent when it comes to helping. I told her of my friends who have had cancer, thanking God that they are alive after horrible bouts of Chemotherapy and Radiation. I ask, "why didn't he just not let you get cancer in the 1st place. I also told her that I am happy without the idea of God in my life. It was when I tried to believe he was there, that I was angry, and unhappy. I can live a life where I know that things are going to happen, and I have to work my way out of the situation or through it, and it is determined by my efforts, and maybe the kindness of others, but God?!!! That's a joke where I already know the punch line. Anyway, she told me that she understood, but that she believed, and that she felt that it was going to take a supernatural encounter with him to change my mind and my heart. To that I agreed. I don't see it coming, but I left it at that. That was a good read...strong work! You pretty much summed up my sentiments to a "T". 180 Degrees of Inspirationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06431017981463691525noreply@blogger.com
