Believer?

 

Believer? In my lifetime, I have been asked


that many times. As a child I was taught to


believe in an Almighty. As a young man, I


was told that God had his reasons beyond


our understanding.



Now as an adult, I know good from evil.


I believe that mankind throughout his


history has certainly shown he is capable


of both.



I believe there is a god and devil within


all of us. I believe a promised Hereafter


is a contrived concept to give us hope


for the better and threaten us with an


inescapable punishment of the unimagin-


able worse.



Beliefs? I have mine and you are entitled


to yours. I do believe that if there was


an all powerful and knowing deity, he or she


would believe mankind has certainly created


a living hell for himself here on Earth. Hell,


persecuting and crucifying the Son of Man


should have proven that.



I might even believe in an all-knowing being


proclaiming, “ You’ve made your choices,


now you’re on your own.”
