I'm reminded of Ecclesiastes < Meaningless! Meaningless! Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless. > I find this a very interesting book, one of my most read. I'm really not sure of its intent, its supposed to turn us to God. But It always leaves me wondering, Why? I guess I'm missing something. The book concludes by saying < fear God and keep His commandments... for God will bring every deed into judgement >. Wow, thats comforting (not, what about right now? how long do we wait for this judgement); I think the teacher had it right when he said < This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.>
I'm sure that my comments will offend someone but... blind faith, what kinda crap is that? If i can't question, and expect a rational answer... Then what? Isn't that how the radicals are born 'ask no questions, just strap this explosive to your chest...' Well not me. I will continue to ask questions, even though I'm not getting an answer. I will not just accept blindly.
I think I've said enough for now. (if God is all He is made out to be, then maybe He will chat with me before my next post.)
Time, gentlemen, please.
I too feel your pain, escaping to somewhere else can be an enticing prospect...
ReplyDeleteI think questioning and reinturpting things, especially faith is crucial to mankinds future. Further any God worth worshiping in my mind must first and foremost be excepting and tolerent of others and their faiths. As well as kind, foregiving and open to questions and willing to accept change.
I think "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" says it all.
