From man to god

If your relgious, and want to get all self rightous on me dont, infact i wudent even recommend reading this cause its just me being me, and i dont need no but god this and that lectures!.. Look you belive wha tyou belive i belive what i belive , its nice

Dear god

 

i dont suppose you'll have time to reply to this what with your busy schedule and what not. But i thought id write you a letter, because there are some things that are so very unclear to me that i think you might be able to answer, and even i dont recivce your reply it would be nice to kno that i atleast tried. I dont even kno if you get mail up there in heaven if that is indeed where you are and if that place does indeed exist but ill write and ill put it the mailbox with no stamp or adress, just the words printed on the front. To god where ever he may be. And just wait and see.

So where to start, there are so many things id like to ask you, but alot of them are simply semantics and wont have any impact on the life i live or anything at all really. but there is one pressing thought on my mind and that is what should i call you, i realise you are god, the almightly, the what not all those fancy prasiing words. But what is your actual name, is it Jhon, Parry, Mike. Do you even have a name, or is a name something that only applies to us, just another rule or regulation, that us humans must abide to.  i just find it awfully strange that you have no name, or that we've never heard it , its like your distancing yourself from something you are meant to have created which seems very very odd indeed but im sure you have your reasons.

Anyway the more pressing questions are the ones i want to talk to you about. The ones that involve sunami's , plauges , wars and great massucures, all these diseases and all the suffering in the world. You say that we must repent for our sins because there is a piece of all of us in adam and we have all made the world what it is, but would you honestly be able to look me in the eye and say my three year old son was hit by a car and died later that day in hospital because he had caused some great sin that he needed to repent from.

I dont blame you not really i mean you say it youself we have free will, the free will to do as we please, free will to choose evil over good or visa versa. But im beginning to belive you've somewhat abandoned us, or mabye its just me mabye i have commited some sin far beyond your ablity to forgive. Despite you saying you should forgive and forget and that you will always love us surely you have some limit, some line drawn out on the floor that people can over step. Go to far and loose your trust compeltely everybody does, and i kno your not human or even spirit but all have a line and thought tracks that protect it and i cant quite belive that if someone perhaps stole your power you would be so easy to forgive.

Do get back to me my lord. Yours faithfully one of your children

A very earnest piece. I can imagine myself sitting down to write god a letter very similar to this. Even though I am not a religious person (although I talk about it constantly) I still wonder sometimes, why? I want to just ask God if he's left the human race, or has just become ashamed of us. This piece, in a whole, portrays I think, many people who just want an answer. The way you wrote the letter doesn't go into great speeches or diatribes, it comes straight from the heart. That makes it beautiful.

These are questions often asked... and not so easily answered. The way you write your innocent letter has a childish charm about it. Of course, in a world that has abandoned God's laws, a theologian would answer, then there is no longer any fairness. You assume cause and effect - someone sins and then they suffer. It's not like that as Jesus made clear. The effect of sin is to create a domino effect, a snowball that runs downhill gathering all in its wake, good and bad, young and old, innocent and guilty. But because He does not interfere, like many a parent, it does not follow that He does not care. Oh, and if you look at Exodus 3 verses 13 and 14 you can find out His name.

Good one, Cappi... He likes those that challenge...
