An Open Letter to a Person Who Publicly Mocks the Possibility That God Exists
After thinking about it for a little while, I've decided to
prove YOUR side of the argument against God.
God CANNOT be proven, not by any person who has ever lived
or will ever live. God, whose
intelligence far exceeds our own, has created every glimpse of Himself as
deniable. For every person who claims
that they have proof or even the idea that He is provable, God Himself has
created the counter argument against His existence.
God does not hold Himself accountable to our limited
understanding of anything. He disobeys
our understanding of logic, and of science, and He Himself creates the best
crafted arguments of His non-existence or non-interactivity.
No words can ever make Him real to another person, just as
there are no words that I can use here that can make you TASTE a
strawberry. IF you have already tasted a
strawberry, then my words can cause you to remember that experience, but I have
no chance of CREATING that experience.
God is a PERSONAL thing and can only be understood or
appreciated in the first person, and my sharing what I have seen, felt and
experienced would mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to someone who didn't have at least
some tiny inexplicable thing in their life that they accepted on faith.
No spiritual mystery in one's life = no common vocabulary
and nowhere to build a discussion. Logic
LIVES in the left brain and God can only be experienced in the right brain, and
although the journey would seem to be only a few inches, it takes people almost
forever to get from one side of the inside of their own head to the other.
We LIVE the lives that we choose to create, whether they
have God in them or not. I accept that
you choose to live without the possibility of God in your life. So be it.
I assure you that NO ONE will ever be able to prove you
wrong, and that is the power of free will that God has made even greater than
the power of His Love. God has created a
universe where free will is the final trump card, and for whatever reason, your
life has concluded not only that God doesn't exist, but that those who claim
that He does are ... you fill in the conclusion.
For whatever reason, my life has been the complete OPPOSITE
of yours in every aspect, because for me there has never been a doubt, and all
of my supernatural experiences, some good and some deadly almost to terminal, have been experienced
with open, undrugged, undelusional eyes.
I recognize that my life has no bearing upon your life, but
you keep insisting that I must prove to you something that cannot be
transmitted; it can only be experienced first hand.
Just as I cannot put the taste of a strawberry into your
mouth with my words, I cannot put the possibility of God into your soul.
Only you can do that.
With that, I bow to your assertions that in your world God
cannot be proven, I applaud the ironclad solidity of your assertions (for I
know that God's free will makes your position unconquerable), and I retreat
from the discussion, still sending well wishes and blessings.
But if you ever want to discuss that which cannot be proven
because you have suddenly experienced that which cannot be proven, let me know.
Logic and faith are mutually exclusive, which is why almost
no one has seen God's face.
