Faith

Ahh.Faith.Ye ole problemo.
See the thing about faith is this-never,NEVER try to rationalize it.Cos if you try to rationalize your faith-find "scientific"xplanations of your belief -Then that isnt faith at all.There are sooo many arguments for God and against god ,that ,quite frankly it can get damn annoyin sumtimes.Here's an interesting Pro- god argument that ive heard.It is also the most asinine argument i have ever had the misfortune to hear.
The idiot:See if ure an atheist and you deny the existance of God-then you obviously have some conception of what ure denying.(patronizing tone) i mean you cant deny "nothing"?Therefore QED -God exists.
Answer:You FRICKIN IDIOT!here's an extension of your argument.I dont belive in the Bogeyman either.therefor-since i cant deny "nothing"-the Bogeyman exists?get outta here.
The thing is this :i Can -singlehandedly-destroy every argument you can possibly put forward for the existence of God.I can say that ur need to believe in a "higher power" is merely a form of wishful thinking.You're not cool wit the fact that u jus appeared-that ure the product of randomness.You need to have a REASON.You need to believe that theres a person wit a plan-who's gonna make sure ur life turns out OK in the end.i could say you need to grow up .Wake up and smell the coffee brother.yeah.I COULD say that .But see -the thing is-what it ultimately boils down to is FAITH.I was talkin to a frend of mine recently.And I was feelin a trifle sore at religion in genral.Cos id had to attend a retreat the previous da.Anyway long story short-The pore chap wanted to talk to me about the existence of God.By the time i was thru wit him-and here i quote-id managed"to reduce his three percent of faith-down to 0.5 percent"( i wonder if at this point it would be wise to read from the Bible"If you have Faith as a grain of mustard seed ,you shall say to the mountain-Move.And it shall"I reckon 0.5 percent shud qualify as seed enough for anybody)Have faith my friend.Be clear on what you believe in.And HOLD ON to that clear belief.(Note:this is different from rationalizing.I could ,very clearly belive that I'm remarkably handsome-without any rational explanation for the strange fact)Believe.And whenever see a person comin at you -usually sum smart alec wit a vendetta against God(Nowadays its Cool to be an atheist)all u have to do is Smile enigmatically at him and say"Look I cant explain why i believe.i cant argue wit you I cant PROVE anything.But I believe"
