We Think, But not Enough
“The writers against religion, whilst they oppose every system, are wisely careful never to set up any of their own” – Edmund Burke
There seems to be a great many people who seem to be more and more worried that the Christian doctrine is true. And rightly so. The closer a man is to Christ in his heart, the more strongly he will object to Christianity. One interesting thing is that in none of the submissions is any alternative offered. You will hear the same old boring arguments about religion brainwashing, no evidence, same empty rhetoric. Charles H. Spurgeon once said, ‘Avoid foolish questions’. And avoid foolish debates I would add.
To appease the scoffers, let us say, ‘religion is nonsense’. This Young Fool has some questions he would like answered. I await, not holding breath. From whence did we get the ability to think? Thinking is a miracle, by the way. How is it possible for life to come from non-life? We came from nothing? That would mean your thinking, came from nothing and will in the end, pretty much will amount to nothing. So why should any right-thinking Bajan listen to you? Please help this Young Fool.
Would any scoffer bet their soul on their arguments? I doubt. Very often, ‘men will fight for their verbal creed but refuse flatly to allow themselves to get into a predicament where their future must depend upon that creed being true. They always provides themselves with secondary ways of escape so they will have a way out if the roof caves in.’ At the end of the day, God is a feel not a think. Is it not quite amusing that those who talk so much about God are those who insist there is no God. Now there is something to think about. Someone is running scared, and it is not the Christians. We must be patient though, because for some the longest way ‘round is the shortest way home.
