John, I do wish you believed differently, but respect your right to your own belief system. There is one tiny thing you said that caught my attention, however. You presented the idea that God “hides from his children.”

This truth has actually come to mean much to me – that God remains just beyond reach. I know you may not understand or agree with my take on it, but I see God much of the time hiding just beyond our reach, just beyond the next circumstance, like a Dad playing hide and seek with his toddler – hoping to be caught.

In fact, I think we only grow if we continue seeking Him. Just the thoughts of one believer.

It doesn’t matter whether you have faith or don’t have faith. Live well, love much, laugh often. Make the most of life, contribute and care.

I see where you’re coming from but the consistent counterargument I find particularly effective is that those who are “anti-God” focus on the content of the concept of God. They seem to ignore that “God” involves worship which is a complex of behaviors. If you strip out the content and replace it with money, sex, whatever “secular” or non-”God” you can find, the behaviors/thinking/attitude are the same but many of those who label themselves “atheists” would find nothing wrong with this. Ironic, don’t you think?

I grew up in a pretty strict Christian home. When I say pretty strict, I mean very strict. My parents were very harsh about movies, music, church, not cursing etc… you get the point. I am a little older now, married with kids and although I don’t agree with everything my parents did, they did an awesome job. I drink beer, smoke a little, curse a little and live a pretty normal life. Not your prototypical Christian, but I do have a relationship with God. My family doesn’t go to church every Sunday and I’m not a Sunday school teacher, but I’m sure glad my parents brought me up the way they did. The lifestyle I grew up around was so healthy and encouraging that I have a hard time saying a single negative thing. For there are plenty of negatives, but a lessened learned through each…I guess what I’m trying to say is that I was fortunate enough to have just enough freedom in my life to be able to to choose my own beliefs, but I’m not one of those angry kids who hates his over religous parents…I see way to many people that push God away because their parents were idiots and pushed God on them. ..

I was brought up as a Lutheran, but that religion did not really emphasize a relationship with Christ or reading the Bible. As a college student, I called myself a Christian Existentialist. Within the last year or so, I have been attending Sunday service at a local non-denominational church which does emphasize a relationship with the Lord. I read the Word everyday, and attend several Bible Studies a week. I won't try to convince you either John, but I will and have prayed for you amigo. .-= Adam @Travel Sites´s last blog ..Tips Regarding Backpacks for School =-.

Ironically as I grow older I find myself working hard towards my faith and I mean my faith in Jesus Christ. When I was younger I couldn’t care less. I hated God, I spoke bad of him and disgraced his name. I was young and didn’t know what I was saying… perhaps still to this day I know not what I speak. I have been going to church on Sundays hoping to re kindle my relationship with my faith but I’m having issues. When I see pain, hungry and violence around me I’m reminded that god cannot exist in these hard time he would have saved us. When I see new born babies dying with cancer it makes the belief in my faith that much harder. Overall it’s a word in process and I’m truly trying to fond faith once again. What a topic John haha! .-= bbrian017´s last blog ..The Marketing Mix, break down your blog =-.

If people want to belive let them. If this gives their lives the purpous, let them belive. But don't make me agree with your silly "moral rules" - just like you I can belive whatever I want. .-= juanita@Bajki dla Dzieci´s last blog ..Bolek I Lolek – Kusza =-.
