I often hear when speaking about belief to all sorts of people them say:
„Well, besides to just believe it all, there is no proof!“ Sometimes there follows:
„If there was God, then He would not allow all these atrocities happening all around the Globe“. We all know this talk. Yes, it’s annoying and much work has got to be done to sort of convince people to enter the challenge of belief. It truly is a challenge if one thinks there MUST be some kind of proof and I got to grasp it.
Many say; we can only convince by sample. Actually true, but in today’s virtual world, where you see people walking and talking to their portables only, plus having earplugs to hear and talk virtually only, personal talks and „sample“ became widely impossible.
Asking someone on the road for the way, they have to unplug their earphones first and then say „whatcha say?“ A dismissive question. Discouraging any further talk.
In the „old days“ where people where not continuously plugged to some virtual distraction, one could give sample. People even where mindful towards one another, and responsive. Today all live in their own world - they even fear any personally recognizable connection - demonstrated in writing in all sorts of forums by anonymous nick only. What are all afraid of when telling their name? Are others dangerous?
However. BELIEF was at any time from Christ to this day transferred from person to person. Never from Anonymus to Anonymus, since belief is a very personal triangular Christ - Believer - Newcomer.
That’s so even then, when people are convinced by reading the Bible. Even there we got the triangular of Christ - Evangelist - Interested person.
Belief then must be believed as it’s name indicates. It can’t be proved to a stranger in belief. Neither can Atheism be proved. There’s no way around to believe the unseen and unprovable. Still - Belief in God though proves itself to all who honestly entered the challenge of belief. He who enters belief by a firm YES, sees God in all things as Ignatus of Loyola said. Believers then got somet indeed concrete and tangible.
What do atheists have? The nothingness and the knowledge that their live between birth and death into nothing but dust is actually nothing and soon forgotten.
Believers are never forgotten by God and all in heaven. And they have God with them always and God to address any time! Such are never alone.
We ask so incredibly much from God, that to believe in God and to believe in Jesus Christ and His doctrine, it the least we can do. What’s so difficult about this precondition for getting nearer to God. Why do so many of us refuse to believe, even though belief doesn’t cost anything?
