why ?
ESL class- a month back i think...
we discussed about religion,belief, God...
well...the respond from the class was pretty shocking for me... there was a number of free thinkers and those who does not believe there is a GOD that exist.
i remembered Mr Jay asking one of the student " why do you not believe there is a GOD? wouldn't it be better if you had something to believe, somewhere to go to if you have problems, or guide to live a more meaningful life?"
he answered: "well, if i have many problems and believed there was a GOD- WILL GOD COME DOWN TO EARTH and solve all my problems when i call HIM?...NO right?!!"... so i don't believe there is" ...
~ i was speechless... how do i answer this dude~ God don't work that way!
God is not SANTA!~... you have to serve him in order to be served.
and to believe there is a God, we need to know 1 thing..
we are all sinners- there is no turning back, what done is done. The only way to get back to the right track -Jesus (the choice that God have given us by sending his only son-Jesus down to earthand dying for our sins).
and today in Moral Class, we learned about religions - (how they are connected)
found out there are MORE who don't believe that there is a GOD..
i feel helpless in the class - as i kept thinkin of ways to answer them > why do I believe there is a GOD?< well, i feel his presence... he helps me in everyway (i surrender all to him)...
i was confused (not doubt), just how to answer these hard questions..
ask my dad... he said... there is 4 things to prove there is GOD...
1)creations
2)mirracle.. and the other 2 he forgotten... funny~
thats not the point...
i'm tired... end~ *for now

y'know, vic, i find it hard to answer when people ask me why don't i believe in God, the same as you cracking your brains to give people an answer to why you do. but i can tell you that not all free-thinkers think as the brainless dude who gave mr. jay the thoughtless answer. free-thinking is not about believing or not believing in God. it's about finding another way to answer oneself why everything is how it is, searching for the path that one should take. free-thinking is living life to me. it's not a matter of worshipping a deity or praying for forgiveness, it's like reading a book, or deciphering an ancient scripture.
