Sunday Secret


I don't want to believe in God because then I have to believe that "he" thinks I deserve this life that *I* have created.

Very interesting Dana...If there is a God, maybe "He" is just waiting for you to realize on your own what it is that you do or do not deserve.

After all, God or not, both self-worth and self-awarness are blessings. Cheers!!

Matt-Man, wise words, and ones for me to think about!

wow. That is very deep, and ya know, I understand exactly what you mean. I feel the same way, but would never have been able to put it into those beautiful words.

Dana said...

Bina, my Sunday Secrets sometimes get a bit "raw" - I'm not so sure the words are beautiful, but thank you for the compliment!

I am fond of saying, "There is a God, we just don't know what He wants"... I've always believed we've been given enough tools to deal with most of our own problems- I also will admit most of my problems were caused by me.

Dana said...

Buff, sometimes I wish I weren't as good at creating my own problems!

Jay said...

I'm pretty sure there is a God.

I'm also pretty sure that he hates me.

Those are some deep thoughts.

I've been forced into thinking deep thoughts for the past two days, and I'm drained. I have nothing worthy to add - sorry ;)

Dana, Damn this one is deep!

Just like with your own kids, you have to let them make choices.

Karen said...

Very deep. I think someone could write a whole book on that one sentence.

I really want there to be a God, but among many other things, I just don't think he wants me to apologize for being born.

captain corky said...

I think he might want me to spend a little more time proof reading my comments though. ;)

Congratulations on the victory—and the fruit.

Dana said...

Jay, but isn't God supposed to be loving?? It just all makes no sense to me - that whole faith thing ...

R.E.H., based on what's been going on over at your blog I'm surprised you even had time to swing by!

Al, no light reading on a Sunday!

Dana said...

Karen, organized religion and I have never seen eye-to-eye.

Corky,I kind of liked being bombarded by your comments!

Nick, thank you!

Either way its on you to decide.
But you already know that.......

Unknown said...

Are you sure that "she" believes that?

Leonhart said...

I'm an atheist. Unapologetic, but not willing to waste time arguing why to those that believe.

But I know I'm right.

If God existed, He'd understand.
