ranty god stuff
by Carolinemost of the very religious people I know fall into two categories: those with nothing but trials in their lives and those with nothing but blessings. it’s hard for me to fathom the middle ground unless it’s composed of people who have come through trials or had some other transition. especially after taking intro philosophy last spring and studying various “proofs” for god’s existence, I feel more strongly than ever that organized religion is illogical.
the thing is, this feels terrible. is part of me so cold and callous that I can’t turn off logic and think about god in a visceral way?
on the other hand, why should I have to? if any power is so great as to have created the universe, why can’t it stand up to simple logical reasoning? where I end up, therefore, is plain old righteous anger. I refuse to believe that logic will hold me back from any theoretical heaven.
