God

It is as impossible to prove or disprove that God exists beyond the various conflicting ideas people have dreamed up about him as it is to prove or disprove that Goodness exists beyond the various conflicting ideas people have dreamed up about what is good.

It is as impossible for man to demonstrate the existence of God as it would be for even Sherlock Holmes to demonstrate the existence of Arthur Conan Doyle.

All-wise. All-powerful. All-loving. All-knowing. We bore to death both God and ourselves with our chatter. God cannot be expressed but only experienced.

God is Busy Everywhere

 I've been thinking about faith lately and this devotion came up... it seems to me that without faith, that atheists are essentially right. -- drs


Faith is God's interpreter. Without faith, all we hear is a noisy babbling. Faith identifies God at work. In the same way that Moses heard the voice of God in the burning bush, we, with faith to guide us, are able to perceive him in what appears to be clutter and confusion. Faith will transform our perception. In this life, faith is our light. With it we can know what we can't see, we can touch what we can't feel, we can strip the world of everything superficial. Faith is the combination to God's vault.
