all of us for one reason or another believe that there is a God or there isn’t a God.
let me address those who believe that there isn’t a God first.
if you do not believe there is a God, therefore an atheist, by the definition of thefreedictionary.com, you are, “one who disbelieves or denies the existence of God or gods.”
so then, why and what do you live your life for? (pause and think about this first)
what purpose do you have in your life that is stopping you from ending your life?
well, you do not believe that there is a God hence no heaven or hell, no after life.
if you believe there is no after life, why do you not just end your life and not have go through all the pains and sufferings of life?
sure life is good, life is great, but at the end of the day you are going to die, we all are and if you firmly believe there is no life after death, end your life and be done with it.
tears may be shed, hearts broken, a funereal held in your honour but the universe would not miss you neither would mother earth.
if your reason is that you fear death, then you fear the unknown which means part of you believes there is a God or a higher being.
there is no point in doing good now when at the end you are going to die and everything ends there and then. your dead.
you can’t bring anything with you and whatever you leave behind will end too. so just die.
only a true atheist will commit suicide the second he/she figures out that there is no God and there is no point in living when there is no after life.
now let me address the majority which is, you guessed it! those who believe that there is a God.
you believe in a God or gods, either way, you believe that there is a higher being of some sort that created the world, created you, me and everything else.
why do you believe in your God?
some would say that it is because of their God did something magnificent and all that.
passing down stories from the thousands of years ago about how their God saved the world and did something out of this world hence the people around Him/Her believed and pass the word around.
David Copperfield made the statue of liberty disappear and lots of other cool stuff, so if a couple of people believe that he is a God and start writing a book about how he is a or the God then they hand the book down and get more people to believe, does that make him a God?
believing God, stripped bare, is your own personal experience, you either have it or you don’t.
no amount of words can comprehend or explain your perosonal experience, to put it simply.
“For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don’t believe, no proof is possible.” Stuart Chase
now, if you believe that there is a God and after life and that you will die one day and live eternally in your after life and your after life, be it heaven or hell is determined by your life now, why do you live like you are never going to die.
why do you not live your life stringent to the rules and laws of your religion?
why do you not give up all that you have to pursue your religion, your beliefs, your God?
isn’t your life now all about ensuring your life later?
