An Interesting Point
I was reading a Christian fiction book one day when something really jumped out at me. You know how some Christians get challenged by others in ways similar to this:
"I will believe in your God if He saves you from jumping off that building."
"If your God is real, I challenge Him to strike me with lightning now. Oh? I'm still alive? Your God isn't real after all!"
Not just Christians, but people of all faiths (that have gods) get challenged this way, and the perfect response was illustrated by one of the characters in this book I was reading. Some may say it's an evasive answer, and while I don't blame them, I still maintain that it's perfectly true.
"What kind of a God would He be if He felt compelled to act on your timetable?" - Dr. Chaim 'Micah' Rozenweig, fictional character in "Desecration", book 9 in the Left Behind series
