Dear Jesus

Dear Jesus,

I don't get you, I really don't. You make no sense to me, you never really have. I'm sorry that I may have hurt your feelings and now I'm damned to hell but your just too mysterious to me.

You say your the son of God and that your by my side all the time, but I can honestly say I have NEVER felt your presence ... EVER! I'm not saying this to be mean spirited, I'm just being honest. And with my upbringing, you know I've tried! Many, many, times to reach you, but no one was on the other end. I figured that since most of my family was religious, from your everyday believer, to some who passionately live every single day for YOU! Everything they do is for you! Every time they do something they really do ask "What would Jesus Do?" So with a family who grew up with the church it was hard NOT to have to believe in You.

So, as you know, I went through life believing in you, even though it made no sense and I really never felt any type of spiritual uplifting. Nor did your big book, "The Bible", make much sense to me. It was always over my head with the fancy language, and all the killing, and slaves, and sacrifices that were in there. I never really understood that when I went to church, they always talked about a ever-loving, compassionate, caring God. But in the Bible, it was just the opposite.

Also, as you know, about a year or so ago I began to dwell into religion a bit deeper, in search of why it made no sense to me. Before this, I just listened to what all the preachers, and Christians said about religion, but never investigated it on my own. Well, much to my surprise I discovered why religion didn't make any sense to me all my life .... because it's NOT REAL!!!!!!!!

I'm serious Jesus, how can you be real? A story 2000 years ago that makes no sense and has NO archeological, scientific, or for that matter personal spiritual proof. How can you blame me for doubting your existence? How can you blame me for being utterly repulsed at the grotesque things I read in the Bible? How can you blame me for doubting you when almost 100% of the scientist in the world agree in evolution and that the earth is billions of years old, not thousands. How can you blame me for reaching out to you and getting no response in return? How can you blame me for mocking religion when it's been the cause of more wars, deaths, killings, and problems in the world today? I mean, being mysterious is one thing, but being virtually non-existent is another. I can say this - If I had a friend on earth who I tried to reach as much as I tried to reach YOU, I would have given up a looooooong time ago, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt and gave you half my life to show up.

So Jesus, as you can see, I have very good, rational, logical reasons for not believing in you. But I also know that I'm not perfect. So if some day if you find the time, maybe you could pop down here and let yourself be known to me, other than that I will continue my life basing my decisions on things that make sense and have been proven to be right over time. Sorry if I offended you, I really don't mean to. I think it would be kinda cool to have some higher power out there in the universe somewhere, but unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it isn't you.

Dear blogger readers:

Doesn't this sound familiar? Aren't we all "trying" to do the right thing and live a good life? Isn't it safe to assume that we all believe in God because it's the "right" thing to do? Isn't is also safe to say that we, as Americans, are somewhat lazy at times? That we take religion for granted and just assume that it's true. All I ask is that you do some homework and don't take a subject this big for granted. I mean your eternally damnation is possibly at stake here!! Don't take my word for it, get off your butt and go check it out for yourself! I would be surprised if most people don't come to the same conclusion as I did. In fact, if you have ANY overwhelming evidence to the contrary, please comment and get back to me. Amen.



Todays RBV: 2 Chronicles 15:12 They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
