Hi,
My name is Clement, I'm 19. I'm a french engineering student (In IT),. Obviously, I'm sorry if i'm making english mistakes!
I think that i need to begin this message saying that I'm an atheist.
However, my family is catholic, like so many humans. I'm really curious et asking myself a lot of questions on religion, especially about catholicism. For a lot of them, I don't have any answer.
I really tried to learn the religion, but it's really hard and complicated, so please excuse me if I do some mistakes.
One of the great answering questions I wanna share with you is this:
Prophets had come on earth to spread god's speech, to teach people what is good and what is sin, in the goal to show to humans the way of salvation, and give them a choice: Live under the rules of God, and earn the eternal salvation, or live as a misbeliever, and be faced to God's punishment. (I know it's much more complicated than this, I just try to make the best sum up i can).
God is good, and that's why he gave to people this choice.
There is the question. Phrophets spread God's speech, especially in Europa and a lot of Ocidental countries, but there are the limit of "occidental". Some peoples had never heard the God's speech, i especially think to earliest inhabitants of Asia, Inuit, amazons.
To God's eyes, these people are people, just as me, Clément. God is good and so don't make any difference between any human, whatever the region he comes from.
Why me, Clément, did I have the luck to hear God's speech, and not everyone on earth? Why did i have the luck to make the choice I mentionned earlier, and other didn't have it?
I want to really thank you to take time to read my question, and maybe to answer it. I would be hugely interested by knowing if I can ask questions as this to a priest or somewho could answer me, and if yes, what kind of occasions are existing to discuss theologie?
Sincerely,
Clément
