Tell Me All Your Thoughts On God
"I'm going to ruffle some feathers with this. So please disregard any fallacies you stumble across, we Germans have a history of being fallacists (and I'm fully aware that I just made that word up).
Back in the day, back in elementary level Sunday school, the Sunday school teacher was pretty adamant on teaching the miracles of Jesus. That's what I remember about Sunday school anyway. I remember the stories about Jesus' powers to alleviate the ailments of the lame. He could make the blind see, He could make the deaf hear and the paraplegics walk. Pretty impressive.
Well, it got to be that these stories were told so much- and I heard them so much that I really didn't question their authenticity. And where I came from, you didn't question God's authenticity. No one ever did. I didn't question God and I accepted those kindergarten stories as truth.
But then I grew up. And I questioned my faith. I questioned the Church. It suddenly dawned on me taht nothing I was taught in kindergarten was logical. None of it made sense. How could anyone relieve someone of an ailment they were born with, maybe a loss of one of the five senses, to suddenly be made well again?
During my grandparents' time, people were dying left and right of tuberculosis. Today there is a plethora of incurable diseases (tuberculosis doesn't fall under this category. Riampcin cures it.) I thought about one idea, one possible answer as to why that sudden turmoil. Jesus wasn't around to perform miracles anymore, hence crises such as the AIDS pandemic in Africa. But miracles weren't performed only in Jesus's day. So that panacea of an answer didn't work.
In the old testament, miraculous things were abundant. There was a burning busg, horrendous plagues, the death of a giant and oh, the birth of the universe. These would all fall under the category of "miracles". But why... why are there not such miracles of grandeur being performed today? And I wonder- did any of those "miracles" really happen?"
mmk there you go. i thought it had a point...
