It is never a person's religion that comes into doubt...rather the person who casts questionable doubts on their respective religions.
It is said that Islam forbids its followers from consuming alcohol and yet...
It's said that when something happens, in any religion, it is the will of God. How, do we know what God wants? If a preacher stands in front of a congregation and openly speaks of the Father and asks that they donate a sum of money for God's cause. Can it then be said that God only wants money?
In actual fact, the view and faith of one person cannot be said the same for another. What a true Christian holds in mind is the total opposite of everything an atheist believes in.
It is faith that enables someone to believe in something that he/she has never seen, felt, heard, touched and smelled. On the other hand, the only sensible thing is to believe in what one's seen, felt, touched, smelled and heard.
I cannot agree with certain things that science has thought me thus far, but neither can concur with what's been written in some book that everyone touches once in a century; or only in times of trouble...saying that some guy turned water into wine.
If what's said in the bible is true and that God did indeed create everything we see, feel, touch, hear and smell today. Then, it can also be said that God created gravity. Since it was God who created gravity, God also has control over it...just like he has control over everything else.
However, there are people committing suicide by jumping down a building. If God created everything and has control over everything he created, why couldn't he stop these people from even thinking of taking their lives in the first place?
Let's say that he could control everything except what his creations are thinking, he could still control gravity. Why didn't he weaken the pull of the earth on these free-falling people so that they would escape with a broken bone or two instead of ending up in a body bag?
Yet, Christians unanimously say that God is great. They are worshiping something that they've never seen, touched, felt, smelled and heard...and yet they claim to be able to sense him.
Maybe, just maybe, those people who committed suicide were not worth saving...maybe their time was up.
I am not saying that God doesn't exist. On the contrary, I am not an atheist, but rather I am an agnostic. A cynical agnostic who's serving his time on earth, waiting for God's clock to tick the remainder of his time away.
