Hey.
I've been thinking a lot about some stuff that just won't get out of my head. You might find it weird, and if so... I don't care.
1. Why Would God choose Israel as "his people"? No, this is not because I'm jelaous or anything, it's more like, why choose a people to begin with? are we not all Gods children? Do we not all deserve to be saved? what about those millions of people out there, who've never had a chance of hearing about God? It seems to me, that he pretty much doomed them. Merciful God? hm...
2. Christians believe that their faith will save them. So do muslims, jews etc.
Isn't it weird how religions just pop up in history all by themselves, if christianity in fact is the only true faith? Why does that happen? I mean, as humans we're aware of ourselves and we know that we're going to die. This obviously scares us, so we invent religions to explain why we are here, and to tell us what is going to happen after death. Now the question is, which religions are invented, and which are human-made.
Someone willl probably quote Hebrews 11:1; "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, being convinced of what we do not see." And tell me that all I can do is believe that my faith is the right one. You're right, but the muslims probably tell each other the same thing..
3. Why do men have nipples? If we were created first by God, why put nipples on us? we have no use of them at all. the scientific explanation to this is, that we're all female untill the 6th week of our foster stadium. after that we split up to be either girls or boys, depending on our genes.
(This implies to me, that we're not created by god. =evolution.)
4. Why do humans have fangs? Or what you could call what's left of fangs anyway. you know, 2 above and 2 below. Again evolution seems more likely, than created by a God.
5. Believing in God is just another selfish act. That's not a question, it's what religion in generel seems like to me. Would we worship God, or even care about him, if we had eternal life here on earth? It's becoming more and more obvious to me, that people believe in God and "love" him, because he saves us and promises us a life after death. A very depressing thought to me.
I've been a christian all my life. My parents started taking me with them to christian meetings for children when I was 3 years old, and since then I've had Jesus in my life. Lately though, I've been having these thoughts, and I realise I'm affraid of dying. really afraid of it actually. That must mean I'm not a christian.. Never heard of a true christian who were afraid of dying anyways.
I don't want to lose my faith, but I'm tired of fighting my own logic all the time.. Don't really know what to do about it, except praying, which I am. -> and so far, nothing.
