The university professor challenged his students with this question:
"Did God create everything that exists?"
A student bravely replied, "Yes, he did!"
"God created everything?" The professor asked.
"Yes sir", the student replied.
The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists,
and according to the principal that our works define who we are, then
God is evil". The student became quiet after such an answer. The
professor, quite pleased with himself, boasted to the students that he
had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth.
Another student raised his hand and said, "Can I ask you a question professor?"
"Of course", replied the professor.
The student stood up and asked, "Professor, does cold exist?"
"What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you never
been cold?" The students snickered at the young man's question.
The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to
the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of
heat. Everybody or object is susceptible to study when it has or
transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or
transmit energy. Absolute zero (-460 F) is the total absence of heat;
all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature.
Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel
if we have no heat." The student continued, "Professor, does darkness
exist?"
The professor responded, "Of course it does."
The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not
exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can
study, but not darkness. In fact we can use Newton's prism to break
white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each
color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break
into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a
certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this
correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when
there is no light present." Finally the young man asked the professor,
"Sir, does evil exist?"
Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course as I have already
said. We see it every day. It is in the daily example of man's
inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence
everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but
evil."
To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist sir, or at
least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God.
It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to
describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not like
faith, or love that exist just as does light and heat. Evil is the
result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his
heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the
darkness that comes when there is no light."
The professor sat down. The young man's name was Albert Einstein.
Props to Michelle for this. I read it years ago but it's taken me forever to find it again.
I know people don't like reading stuff like this (because i highly
highly dislike reading anything pertaining to nerdiness, geekiness,
religion, or long rants about nothing but yourself) but i gotta let it
out. Anyways I been kinda thinking about my 'religiousness' or
whatever. I still go to church every Sunday and all but I've got
to admit as far as a relationship with Christ goes, I've fallen off
that boat. God still plays an important role in my life, but I'm
not sure it's for the right reasons. I might be praying before
meals just out of routine, or having deep talks about the Bible just
because I know stuff, or claiming to be a Christian just so i seem like
a good person. For awhile I blamed it on college.
Everything was runnin smooth before I was sent off to a university, and
then as soon as i set foot solo on campus, my walk with God was over
and my Christian image tarnished. It's not a valid claim
though. I have many friends that i've grown up with, that maybe
didn't even have as solid of a grip on christianity as i do (or did)
that are fine today, rock solid, walking and talking with Jesus.
I've made several attempts to get back on track, I've attended
seriously over 15 different churches trying to find somewhere i can
root myself in to no avail. I've basically given up the party
life, given up the wannabe-hardcore life but even then i feel like i'm
stuck in this muck pit and the more i struggle with it the harder i
fall. It's gotten to the point where i'd sometimes even hate on
those nerdy christians, or people who always blog about religion or
church or whatever like "damn shutup cuz you sound like a freak."
wow.
i'm embarassed everytime those thoughts cross my mind. I don't
feel like I'm a bad person and don't get me wrong, i'm not living in a
life of constant sin neither. It's just tough for me to see
religion like i once saw it - a priority and a necessity.
damn. whateverrr. iono what to do.
