In a recent Newsweek (09/04/2007), a declared atheist and best-selling book by Sam Harris squares with Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church off in Orange County, California, and author of the bestseller worldwide Life Purpose- Driven with a piece titled "Religion: God is real?"
I found it to be interesting to read, so far it went, but completely lacks a crucial point. While Harris certainty that it does not "God of the Bible:" I do not agree with his conclusion that there isGod at all. I believe that God / Goddess consciousness itself, and this awareness permeates the entire universe and beyond, with non-dual, unconditional love. The most spectacular, this knowledge is infinite gift of life. For me, the fundamental belief that spirituality is everything.
Harris and Warren argue from either / or point of view, there is a God or Christian, or "him" no. " My passionate rejoinder is that God is not so small, and certainlyare not included or included in a story so anthropocentric.
Warren continues debate on the evidence of God in "tens of thousands of times" has personally experienced miracles. He mentioned a specific time, was heard as his prayer, and another example, when it was not. I personally miracles every day, so I'm cool with the concept. However, I think Warren is the first of the two meanings of "miracle", the essence of it is, "An unusual eventexceeds all human powers and is ascribed to God "I prefer the second meaning," A wonderful and surprising example of what miracles, miracles. "
By the second definition of miracle, I see life itself as a miracle, Excel. If you are here and attention, I feel the unconditional love of God with every breath I take, every musical note, every ray of sunshine, and every hug, or I can get. Miracles are everywhere if we see the eyes, feel the heart and the present to be gratefulfor every moment of life.
To continue this debate between Harris and Warren, the question arose: "Why would God give a child, cancer, or if not, why not take seriously the prayer?" The answer, what the sense that God works in mysterious ways, it seems quite specious to me. Here's how to unpack this idea of how an infinitely loving God could allow "bad things happen to anyone.
Life is the gift of God incessantly, endlessly,unconditional love. Life has limits. There are organisms that are born, grow, decay and death. Could be a coincidence that God has condemned us all to give us life in the first place. Some of us end up attacking longer than others. Realize that God makes sense of guilt or responsibility, as the winter, the guilt of the summer. To say that there is something unfair about a life "shortcut" to the miracle of each breath, every smile Miss, look at any offer that was available during his lifetime. Life is"Not fair" is. We can see life as a miracle or a tragedy, and we find ample evidence for both positions depending on our point of view.
Of course, a child lost in any circumstances, is heartbreaking. It 's just a girl to lose the cancer is no longer the sad loss of a child against malaria, hunger, war or accident. When people leave this world we love, our feelings of sorrow and sadness when we can once again tightened at us, turning off shadows of whatreally are. The loss itself may break our hearts so that we experience the miracle of life of an infinitely precious, delicate and vulnerable place.
We are all God-in-shape. Every single moment of our life we make decisions. We can choose to see ourselves as victims of an arbitrary, unknowable, without prejudice and vengeful God, or literally, as God to do the elusive yet wonderful gifts of life. I decide, every breath as an act of worship, each holdHug as sacred, every kind word and generous as sacred. In the end it all boils down to a simple choice, but deep, love or fear?
