I DO NOT UNDERSTAND NON-BELIEVERS


Non-Believers in this blog post is referring to people who don't believe in God.

I have watched hundreds of posts about God and Faith and Jesus. It amazes me how angry and how upset and how argumentative non-believers get on God. They don't fight this hard about Buddah, Allah or any other religious figure. Not even about Jack Frost or the Tooth Fairy.

If I don't believe in something and you do, I just go my own way. You think Herbalife works and I don't. Great. I accept that because it's your decision. Oh, but not non-believers. They will fight you tooth and nail all night long to argue about God. They are mad that you even believe.

This behavior baffles me. Why does God upset non-believers so.

I've heard all the lines.
"Why would God punish people for eternity? That's not the God I want to worship"
"Why does God let good people hurt and bad people get away with stuff"
"Why doesn't God do any more miracles"
"Your God supports raping women in the Old Testament"
"Your God allowed slavery"

I could go on all day.


Here is what I can't understand. If you don't think He exists then why waste time discussing it?You really don't care about saving me from wasting my time in church. You really aren't trying to convert me to believing nothing. So why the fight. What makes you rage so much that you go as far as curse God in your comments like "F*** God". How can you curse something on one hand when you don't believe it exists on the other.

I believe some are angry because they can't understand. I believe some are angry because they don't like the idea of obeying Him in any way. I believe that waco Christians have made you upset. I believe some is from guilt. I also believe there is a small few in the world that truly don't believe. I can always tell who they are. They are the ones who don't fight or get mad when God is mentioned. They respect my decision to follow my savior and they believe "to each his own".

I wrote this because I want the ones who don't believe and engage against God to ask themselves, "Why do I get so upset about this." And if you figure it out, let me know.

There is a huge majority of non-believers in the world who used to believe and don't anymore. They allowed another human to destroy their relationship with God and for some reason God gets blamed for that happening.

I truly believe the Bible and it has made me a better father, husband and person for it. I believe Jesus died for me and the last thing I would ever do is tell God that His son died for nothing. In fact, if Jack Jr died to save this country and the American citizens said to me that he didn't, I believe I would want eternal damnation for those people, too.

All I am asking from non-believers in my life is to respect my sharing of faith on MY social media. If you don't believe what I post then just move on. You share tons of stuff I dislike, but I never say anything because I respect your Social Media page and right to post it. It's mine to do with what I want.

So if you made it to the end of this blog I hope you thought a little bit about faith and a little bit about your future. I respect whatever you decide to do and will never knock it.

God Bless. I really mean that too. Not just as a sign off to this post, but that God may bless your life as much as he has mine.
