on God and belief. The universe is so vast, more then anything you could wrap your mind around. we are so tiny in this creation. barely an electron in a grain of sand at the edge of the ocean. and yet some how we are connected with even the edge of the universe. Stars,planets,air,water wood, our flesh all made of exactly the same few subatomic particles, yet we cannot even pass our hand through a sheet of paper even though both are made up of the same thing, why? what is the power that makes the atoms unable to alter their shape to accomplish such a seemingly simple thing as that. call it God the superglue that makes every shape unique, splitting the atom in an atomic explosion is only a tiny example of the sheer power that forms all things. if we belieive in God,Jehovah,Alla what have you is it because we believe and know or is it because that is how we were told to belieive!? only in silence and absense of distraction can we begin to see and feel gods presence. and it would be like standing on the horizon of the sun. to see the creator in full we could never live in this physical life again. the pain of this existense would be to much to bare once the heart had experienced pure love and perfection. believe what you may but the truth is greater then you can imagine. besides, what loving creator would ask any man to harm another for any reason.
Thank you for your time

Hi Michel, thank you for sharing your thoughts. I think that my line of reasoning would start somewhere close to yours, with the immensity of the universe. However, I think we would go in almost opposite directions from there. Because the universe is so vast, and we are so small, I think that the answer lies not with “silence and absence of distraction” but would require the special revelation of God. I think that is why Jesus, the divine Logos to which you seem to reference, became flesh and why God revealed his Word in the Scriptures.
Again, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I hope you will feel free to do so again in the future.
