Was taking my six-year-old daughter to an appointment yesterday.
She’s a thinker and has a particular penchant for religion. And since my wife is religious although I’m not, I honor my wife’s commitment to her religion and attend with her on Sundays, along with the kids.
So back to the car ride,
“Daddy?”
“Yes, Sweet Love?”
"If Jesus and God created us and also want us to go to heaven, why didn’t they just create us already in heaven?
"Sweetie, I have absolutely no idea. It does sound a little confusing. So, * changes subject *.
No point really being made. Just proud of my little blooming skeptic.
But for the sake of stimulating discussion, if the part of us that willfully sins is apparently gone when we die and open our eyes in the afterlife, why were we made with that part in the first place? As we appear to lose it, it seems nothing more than an unnecessary “Damnation Generator” with the sole purpose of populating Christian hell.
Thoughts?
