padin fain Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 This piece may be offensive to people strong in religion. These are the thoughts that course thru my mind. read at your own choice The words of the priest ring loud. God is ever loving and ever powerful. People ask of him because they are scared and weak we must learn to depend on ourselves not on just god he is like a kind parent and we are learning to walk if he helps then we will be dependent on him like an old man is on his walker. Not do what is needed of him. It is basic human necessity to want a greater being to worship and love to give you strength thru the hard times. The universe is a great expanding object? No something must have started it all. The theory is that there was a big bang. But even for a bomb there needs to be a fuse. Right? Maybe god’s work was the hand that light the fuse? He didn’t create the earth it’s self but the universe. Leaving us to our own devices? If the devil wanted power and was willing to kill god then why didn’t got destroy him utterly? The devil was proud? He forget who started it all? He wanted power so badly he was willing to destroy his father, his mother our immortal father, mother? What would happen if god died? Why are we here? A question that has been here for all time. Why. We make of ourselves what we want. God doesn’t approve or disapprove? The murders and killers who take away his children. We are connected to god? Maybe he knows and approves or disapproves? But if he tells us then we will force others to our way? Maybe he tried many times on different religions? Gave up? Realized we must find him in ourselves, some Christian, Mormon, Islam, Hindu all look to their leaders to save them to protect them form the evil. But is the evil in our own hearts? In Christianity that is called original sin. Because Adam and eve disobeyed god he thru them out of the garden of Eden. Is that garden in another world? Will we find it? Back to the devil in this shambled piece that is my mind written down. God could have destroyed him bent us toward his will making us think that it our own. Saved us pain and hurt. Could make us immortal? He could have made us powerful to travel thru time. Why make us evil? If he is all loving all forgiving why not forgive Adam and eve for eating the fruit he told them not to. Was this what our ancestors did to piss god off so much that he forsook us? He loved them trusted them, does he do the same now? He has holy commandants state that killing is most heinous yet can be forgiven. Yet eating a single fruit brought us down out of god’s graces? My CCD teacher once said that trying to understand god was like a dim waited puppy trying to understand Geometry. I am trying to do that. All religions almost always contradict each other except those from the same root. Most say there is one god others say many one says be peaceful let yourself be killed. Better to die then to kill another. Others say spill there blood. Yet to say that there god is better then the other is strange. If the god who would rather die then be killed, wouldn’t he be killed by the god who wishes blood to be spilled. How can this be? I am writing from only a Christian point of view. I only know of what I hear on the news and what I have gotten from my friends. My age might affect my thoughts but I think not. (I will continue to write like this until I can quell these thoughts) I am not done I hope my writing has made you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
