The ~ Why God ???

As I mentioned last time, there is so many whys we can ask God. Most religious leaders I talked to would try to push or force their belief on me and not answer my questions. When a religious person was done speaking to me they would always say something like, “Do you understand?” No, I’d say and they would come back with, well, we love you. I use to think, how can these people say they love me; they don’t know me, or anything about me. What if I were some mass murderer, would they really love me? What if I were some pervert who slept strung up from my big toes, would they really love me; I think not. To me, these religious leaders were nothing but a bunch of hypocrites that only cared about getting my money. It was always, pass the plate at churches I visited.

Maybe these people are representatives of God but all they do is beg for this and beg for that. God never begged. Does God need to pass the plate or beg for money? I think not. Oh, but he’s God, the religious people would say. Yeah, well you claim to be working for him and you claim to know him. Does he ask you to beg for him? I’d get the proverbial no.

Let me ask you something, I’d ask the religious people. If you knew someone and maybe they even worked for you and you knew they had a need; would you help them? Sure, they’d say, if I could. Suppose you had the means to help, would you? Yes they said. So would I. Do you think God has the means: The means to help anyone? Yes, they would say. Then why doesn’t he, I asked?

They would give me a song and a dance why God does or doesn’t help people but not once and I mean, not once, did any of them pull out a Bible and show me from that book why. What made one person’s word better than the other person’s? Nothing, it was a matter of who do you want to believe. I chose to believe none of them anymore. I will explain more of that statement later.

I arrived back home. What a great trip. Now it was time for me to buckle down and get back to work. I had no plans on going back to that music store, oh no, not me. I planned to take a couple of days, once home, to get my laundry done, put food back in the house and just relax as I returned to a routine. I vividly remember I got home on a Monday. I took the week to get things going again on my home front, visit my family and clean my house. The following Monday, I was practicing on my organ I had in my home when the phone rang. It was about three in the afternoon. I said hello. On the other end of the phone was Roger, the General Sales Manager to the music store. And friends, you’ll have to tune in tomorrow to see what I told Roger.
