Indeed, God’s existence has been in question for so many years. I never doubt that the extraordinary things that happened in favor of me occurred because of God. However, there were times that I have also minor skepticism in God’s ability and presence. (Writing this composition, fright seems to encapsulate me within its boundaries and I’m faintly petrified that any moment from now, a lightning would thump me to death and overwhelming bereavement.
For the purpose of ascertaining my skepticism on God’s attendance without rescinding and overlooking my current faith, I just couldn’t take away from my mind the inconsistencies which cover the real characteristics of God. Based from my observations, there are happenings that show no graciousness at all wherein people believe that God is good all the time. Aha! Isn’t this a big query in God’s power to create perfect miracles? Why is it that dreadful incidents come to pass on virtuous and upright citizens of this world? And why does God let appalling populace dodge the right punishments for them? OMG! It sounds so ironic that certain politicians are having all the riches in the world through illegal means, getting all the treasures of this planet yet at the end of the day, being saved from the wrath of God.
On the other hand, poor people are still suffering all the hardships and mistreatment for they are being deprived of their rights and privileges. Every time I think of these ominous milieus in this contemporary epoch, I can help but ask: “Where is God at the midst of corruptions, blunders and misdemeanor?” This omnipotent, supernatural being might just be fantasized in a fiction. When there’s a blessing received, ‘glory and thanks first to the all-powerful God’ where in fact the person who has obtained such recognition, all by himself, endured so much pain for it. Why offer it first to God if the latter didn’t do anything at all?
In my case, I’ve had wished so many things but I guess, only twenty percent of them were granted. In point of truth, I want to make an inquiry: “Is that the best thing you can do, God?” Whenever I acquire illness and subsequently get recuperated, even if I ask God’s help via prayer or attending a mass, it couldn’t be totally God who restored my well-being. The medicine, check-up and good lifestyle can be the bona fide elucidation behind my abrupt recovery.
Another distrust of mine concerns the existence of different religions. If God is indeed supreme and perfect, why did God assent to the emergence of other gods and goddesses in which other people mull over? It seems that every religion never wants to be beaten by other religions. If God is definitely invincible, why did this divine life-force permit the materialization of idolatry and iconoclasm which have disadvantages to Christian ecumenism? Were all of these events part of God’s plans? Did they float up to situate sugar and spice into God’s religion for it not to become lackluster and mundane?
Moreover, this omnipotent, omniscient and benevolent being must somehow be empirical. However, something that is so much pragmatic is the constant need of the churches of the Lord for riches or donations, making them one of the most moneyed institutions in the world. Many of their members are bathing with coins and bills while other earthlings are enduring too much agony and impoverishment. I prayed to God many times, matters which are unfathomable or just trivial stuffs I’ve waited to acquire from an ideal God. But in the end, I turned to be a bit thwarted occasionally because the utilization of praying has been a remote means if God has already planned for our future. It’s God’s will even if it hurts like a third degree burn. I’m just hoping for the paramount undertakings to come in my life and it will start with my individual deeds for I am the one shaping my personal prospect with God as my guide, I guess.
In addition to those arguments, phenomenal marvels are always being attributed to God like when someone can heal ‘under the weather’ persons or can execute bizarre and exceptional talents. What if he’s really capable of normally performing such splendor given that he underwent training or special education? If God is undeniably associated with it, miracles should happen not just once in awhile. Moreover, when nature summons catastrophes, simply known as ‘acts of God’, to teach people a lesson, why are innocent natives implicated? But above all of these scrutinizes, something so enormous in me thrusts my inner self to muse on God’s role in my fruitful years of living. Indisputably speaking, I'm truly blessed.
