In one of my earlier blogs, I wrote about how it defies common sense to practice certain religious rituals  in different denominations.  I should have ended that blog by stating it also defies common sense to be an  Atheist.  Since I did not, I will give the topic its own blog. 

All one has to do is look around them.  Look up at the stars, the sun and the moon to realize that there is some being greater than us.  Are men responsible for how the earth turns and how the moon and sun revolves around the earth?  Do men tell the bees to pollinate the flowers?  Do men tell the body to store fat for future energy when you don't eat for a long time.  Is it man, that go in and turn the baby around in the mothers womb as it gets ready to be born.  No, all of this gets done amazingly, on its own,  in sync and timely.  Isn't that beautiful.  And you say there is no God?

The bible says, only a fool says in his heart there is no God.  All you have to do is look at the amazement of how certain things work on their own;  Look at the ocean and the mountains.   I remember watching a TV Church service some time ago,  where this lady was testifying about how she changed from being an Atheist to a believer.  When she witnessed the birth of a baby, in all of its amazement, she became a believer. 

One has to be really arrogant, and ignorantly so, to  think that they are it - that there is nothing or no one greater than them.  It just defies common, common sense.  Someone called a radio show recently belittling the word God, by saying that when it is spelled backwards it is dog.  They said it's just another word and it has no meaning to it.  Well let me give you my connection between God and dog.  Dog was created to serve man and man was created to serve God.  How about that as an epiphany!!  I remember watching a small part of the dog whisperer, and he was telling the dog's owner that the dog wants to be your servant, they like commands and wants you to be their master, that is why they act out at times.  Dogs want to serve their masters.  Turn that around  -  men should serve God.  That is the connection my friend. 

All God asks us to do is believe and the rest will be revealed.  Some scholars spend all their time reading and trying to find or not find some evidence of God.  They are missing the boat completely.  Others are trying to reduce god to their level,  in trying to understand it all.  You probably won't ever understand it all, but I believe that if one believes and opens their heart,  little by little god's glory will be revealed to them. 

Can I get an Amen?
