Author DanielMadr Posted April 3, 2008 Author Posted April 3, 2008 He has plan for everyone. Its just not part of my faith. If it would I would become Satanist probably, because God has some twisted sense of humour then, at least at my example. I believe we were put to this earth to try the best we can to make things better against the various odds. And then we just simply vanish in dust. Im probably not so self-centered to think He will give me a briefing afterwards or anything.
Lovelybird Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 (edited) What I sensed the big difference between believer and nonbeliever is that there seems are large heavy weight on non-believers' heart. Believers are usually light hearted, usually don't take things too seriously. things are much simple, truth are much simple. maybe you think about those rules too much? I believe we were put to this earth to try the best we can to make things better against the various odds right, if you go to a new country, if without a map in your hand, you can try your best, but still get lost life has a map too, if you have it, you can do much better than without one Edited April 3, 2008 by Lovelybird

Believers are usually light hearted, usually don't take things too seriously. things are much simple, truth are much simple. maybe you think about those rules too much? I have exactly the opposite experience. But it can be the Believers are self-proclaimed ones and not true ones. I am believer myself. I believe in God and goodness. And I know Moses, Jesus and Mohhammed had some realy good points. People dont take things too seriously when they dont take themselves too seriously. But when someone believes God watches, valuates and help (cares about) with his every step he makes, well, I think they cant be very light hearted. And I think they are making a mistake when they say "At least God loves you". Jesus told it pretty good - rephrased:"You must love yourself in order to be able to properly love thy neighbour." Meaning "It is up to you to make things better" you cant go around with safe blanket of Gods love. Even Jesus come to that conclusion on cross: "Why have you left me, father?" "Well, because eventhough you are VIP, my son, I dont care about you that much - its your life and you cant hold me responsible when you get crucified. You are an adult. You cant do good for the outcome of my love. You have to do good because you want to."

Well, I dont take myself too seriously, because I dont think Im Gods favourite playtoy. Do I believe in God and goodness? Yes. And it gives me strenght. But I dont believe He makes our faith. It is our responsibility. When you see some mass grave, you cant say,"Well it is probably Gods scheme and He loves us after all, so I dont need to worry." - because I believe it is not his scheme. It is our problem and responsibility.
