7 Questions for God
Pardon My Curiosity
[Non-members can read this piece for free here!]
Rather than debating with anyone about whether or not He even exists, as I’ve been prone to doing for much of my life, I’ve decided to prepare a list of questions for when I inevitably “meet my maker” someday.
Or maybe they’ll just be of amusement to those who “know better” than to believe in a god.
We’ll all find out sooner or later.
1. “I understand the “faith and free will” piece, but why not… be slightly less mysterious?”
I do understand why you don’t just make a monthly appearance as a cosmic giant in the sky and call down with a booming voice: “I am the LORD, and this is what I like and don’t like with what’s going on, Humanity!”
Besides the fact that many of those who don’t believe would just as soon likely write off such an event as a hallucination or hoax and dismiss it all the same, the mockingly-conceived “Sky Daddy” concept which antireligious folks rally against is obviously inaccurate, inadequate, and antiquated.
It would hardly allow for a loving, free choice of accepting a Creator beyond one’s earthly comprehension if God imposed Him/Her/Itself in such a way.
