“Do I Believe?” Blog #80
To understand the miracle of life, I search inside myself for truth. Non-believers may think
we evolve from monkeys. Yet, people choose to be doctors, scientists and inventors…..for
what? Why have we evolved this far to invent cures for disease, why bother? Then again,
why fly rockets to the moon, for what? Especially if there is “nothing out there”, nothing left
to the afterlife. It all sounds so worthless. A means to an end. For those who believe we
came from monkeys feel at the end of life - THATS IT.
When I play this idea out, I think it to be a perilous, empty, dark journey. Especially, when
parents are raising children without any faith. They blow up this big, bright, beautiful
balloon to show them life, only to “pop” it for them as the child asks? What is death?”
Then diving into the nothingness of their belief system. They had best throw away Santa
Clara, The Easter Bunny and all the fairy worlds. Death: Nothing at the end. Ironically, little
children were asked on “Kids say the darnest things'" CNN: “Who is God?” A small child
answered, “Don’tcha know? God is in everything!”
Comforting words to a hurting or dying child do not come from an unbeliever. Children
will grow up fearful, sceptical and full of questions. Our purpose as parents is to raise
well-rounded children. I include this to mean faith based. Faith moves mountains.
We cannot give a teen a valid reason for not ending their life if there is nothing out
there to give them hope! Hope is the reason to go on living.
When 9/11 hit the Twin Towers in NYC and thousands of people died in the towers and on
planes, people were on their phones to their families praying! The spineless agnostics, the
arrogant atheists and the anti-Christ movements find it convenient to argue against the
true Christian ideal, yet no real research behind it! Jesus’ kind, spiritual, truth shows God’s
love and what it stands for. Non-believers have nothing factual to use their belief on. The
extent to which people refuse to learn about Christ shows up on so many sad faces.
People excape loneliness and the ways in which they maneuver their life styles is hard to
fathom. Any excuse to run away from self. Remember “In God we Trust” is on every piece
of money we handle.
G. K Chesterton was the greatest writer and most profound thinker of the 20th Century.
He wrote 4,000 essays and defines the average man with only truth! Every atheist should
read Chesterton’s “Everlasting Man”. C. S. Lewis was an atheist yet, he was such an
important writer, he did research for years and became a Christian. He inspired Ghandi
to lead a revolution ending all British rule in India! These two men were deep researchers
and prolific writers about truth! Interestingly enough, they were not great Christians
before their research started. Only through inner searching and deep research can the
awareness and belief in Jesus Christ come to light.
On the internet I have recently learned there are five hundred million non-believers
and two and a half billion** Christian believers. (** it takes a thousand million for a billion
So we know we are in good company!
It is comforting to put a child to bed at night sharing that our guardian angel; is here
watching over us. It is reassuring to feel there is another spiritual world waiting for us.
Belief in knowing that someday we will all be united with our loved ones is reassuring.
At the end of the day, IF we must be literal; The non-believer has no actual proof of the
non-existence of Jesus. Yet, the believer does have proof of miracles all over the world for
years and years on end. So I choose believing in Jesus Christ. I know that when I leave
this earth, the caterpillar of my empty shell in this world will be transformed into a
Monarch Butterfly up with the angels in the brilliance of the sunlight. I refuse to accept the
non believers decision at the end of our life is a big, black hole of nothingness. I for one,
attest to miracles. I believe Jesus Christ is alive and well, working within me and all those
who accept HIM. The non-believer and I have a 50/50 chance of being right. And I chose
to go with the light. For my belief gives me comfort. I feel HIS love and my faith brings me
security.
Can you find time to research a belief in HIM?
