(if you're a believer i don't mean to offend, this is just how i see it)
Ok, so here is something that actually has made me who i am. I know that there are many that don't agree with me; but this is just the way i see it.....
Alright, so i was looking on one of the Heart Pages i belong to on FB 1in100, anyways there was a post of a little boy that will e going in for another open heart surgery tomorrow and i noticed in a lot if the comments people were saying "i'll pray"..."may god bless him and his family"...ect. This has got me thinking. I do not believe, never have. I was brought up in a Catholic house, went through Catacism, Baptism,Eucharist ect...the whole nine. But i just never believed in my heart; nor mind. That's just me. Anyways back to the purpose of this post...
If people feel that god created each and everyone of us, and he has a plan; then why; WHY would they put little babies through all of this? What have they ever done? Is it to get back at the parents? Isn't god loving? AND my main pondering question...if they feel that it was gods plan to have this child/person have this major health problem why do they pray to 'god' to fix it? To me, it makes no sense. I guess it's because i'm not a believer or something like that. I just don't understand i guess. This question has been plaguing me for a while now. I just don't understand it. If god is so miraculous why is prayer needed? I understand praying to god to vent/confess and all that but why pray to 'god' to fix something that was obviously part of his plan?
I guess i might be a tad jaded by this subject. I have heard/read of the prayers that my family had/gave while i was a baby...according to them 'God' heeded their prayers and saved me. But, as i see it it's just the way the cookie crumbles. No amount of prayer is going to make 'god' change his will....However i do believe that if a patient knows people are sending good thoughts (so to speak) their attitude nay change therefore changing the outcome of whatever their issue/problem was. I just don't understand. It must be because i just don't believe.....i believe in cold hard facts and evidence, not interpreted stories. Is it just so that you feel better?
I don't believe in god, any god; nor heaven,hell,limbo. I am not unintelligent, nor am i naive. This is just how i am, and how life thus far has made me. I love to explore theology and lots of other things, so if you'd like to you may enlighten me on this topic.
