What If God Were One Of Us?

[Happy_Go_Lucky]

to all the believers in God.

Where was that God before the tsunami?

Where was that God before your daughter was abducted, raped and killed?

Where was that God before your home was destroyed by an F4 tornado?

Where was your God before you lost your job 2 years before pension was suppose to set in?

Realizing many need to believe in something to get themselves through the day, it really makes my mind numb when so many folks AFTER tragedies decide it's a great time to thank their God.

I have no answers for this. Tragic? Absolutely. But again, it's not for me to question God. Only to have faith. I thank my God everyday, regardless. I also pray to Him everyday, regardless.

With that, I believe this thread has the potential to turn bad. I've always believed there are 3 subjects you can never truly discuss: religion, politics and sports. They all are based on our own perspective, opinions and beliefs. I believe everyone is entitled to believe as they feel. It is what it is. Nothing can be proven. Hence, the potential for arguing is huge..
Religious beliefs after all are what most wars are made of..
