Controversial God
One of my friends asked recently why I am so open about my belief in God. She was astounded that I can be so candid about something that not a lot of people are willing to accept nor take in lightly.
I paused for a while. I wondered. Was I just grandstanding? Was I proclaiming belief to make myself stand above the rest? Did I, from the very core of my heart, really believe in God?
Several pauses later, I concluded that yes, I believe in God. Not only do I believe in God but I believe in one who loves me unconditionally.
Now comes the age old debate of how someone can stand for something as abstract as God. With a sigh, I answer, "Because I can."
It is my choice to believe in God and by no means am I forcing anyone to have the same faith as I do. While I welcome other believers or would-be believers in my life, I also welcome those who have differing opinions. Having different stands on this matter is no different from people debating who is the better choice between Obama or Hillary or if the Zone is a healthy way to lose weight.
In a debate as timeless God´s existence, sometimes the best way to win is to just walk the talk and believe that in the midst of seemingly chaotic and hollow world is something good and loving. If one believes in both the good and love, I bet, that life becomes less empty for that person.
