thats brilliant of you chxta.
god will never let himself be fully explained or comprehended by the human mind. he doesnt have to abide by the laws of science or logic. because he made them.
if the human mind understood something fully they would have power over it.
that is why people will never be able to explain the existence of god and will never realise he exists based on logic or science.
it is about coming to him in humility and weakness because that is how we really are deep inside.
believing in his existence not because he justified it sufficiently for you, but because you believe regardless. this is faith in its essence, and this pleases god.
a child being playfully thown up into the air by his father isnt fearful of falling. he is vulnerable, but chooses to trust him because his father loves him and is going to catch him.
you can act tough, and unaffected on the outside, thinking you dont need him, or he's just a human concept or idea, and thats perfectly understandable- it is human nature to try and defend itself, protect what authority and will it has, and be as self-sufficient as possible, especially in the presence of others.
but when you are alone, with your mind and conscience you can let down that shield, and look at yourself as you really are, emotionally and physically naked, vulnerable, without the 'armor'.
i know how it feels to truly be yourself. even the most macho of you feel weak, empty without that armor. the armor feels like an empty shell.
something is missing. if you noticed that you might have tried filling it, havent you? relationships, amazing experiences, power, authority, security- to some they're like a drug. constantly trying to fill their empty armor up.
just try god. you dont have to tell anyone. you dont have to put on an act. you dont have to do it in public. you dont have to be 'skeptical' or embarassed if your alone and your not losing anything. you dont have to be afraid of the unknown. after all he has your best interests in mind doesnt he?
nobody who believes had to be convinced by evidence. no "god, prove to me's". nobody ever said "well, i only believed in god after he proved that he existed upon my demand" they just take a step of faith, blind faith, as a child- genuine belief for a fleeting moment- and thats how it hits them.
thats why people find god when theyre in trouble. no- its not because they attribute a 'coincidence' or their 'luck' to a 'god', its because they get desperate and fling themselves out there, regardless. they are so desperate they will take the risk.
god really is illogical because he transcends logic.
that is why we are to love our enemies, when were supposed to hate them,
turn the other cheek when we are supposed to fight back
give our shirt when our cloak is taken
give to others without expecting back instead of expecting and charging interest
expect to be blessed by giving away instead of receiving.
have utterly illogical, seemingly nonsensical and ridiculously blind faith when we should be reasonable, logical and minimize risk.
that is when you figure it out. im not going to compel you to take my word for it- i encourage you to try it tis all. and dont even tell me. dont tell anyone what happens unless you feel like it.
after all, im the most logical person i know, for whom without cold hard facts that could be repeatable and verified nothing could be true.
and it worked with me. even im shocked sometimes.
