Believing in God
Is it only because I was raised to believe in Him?
“The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays.”
― Soren Kierkegaard
Some say you’re saved forever, even if you turn your back on God later in life, after you’ve been saved.
Yet some say you weren’t ever saved, should you later in life turn your back on God.
But what does it mean to “turn your back” on God?
Does that entail leading a life, astray? Or perhaps, living without prayer? Living in sin, like all Christians do? Living with the belief that there is no God? Where is the line fucking drawn, man? Do you know? I surely don’t.
So I believe in God. But by God, I mean this:
I believe in this vast energy that fills the universe with an abundance of power. Might this be God? Absolutely. Might this be the energy that we all host, swarming in and out of every single one of us, on the daily? Of course! Might this be in us, like Christians call the Holy Ghost? It just might… Or might God be the one directing our lives, showing Himself as the guide to our otherwise meaningless lives? He just might.
How are we to know?
