Opinions.... beliefs.... what we hold on to... what's it all for?

So many thing in this life that we hold dear to our hearts. Could be friends... which is cool... could be thoughts and opinions... which the world and people have a lot of. But what's it all about? Unless our thoughts and beliefs resound with God's heart, what's it worth? Again, this is coming from me... just a guy out there who has a opinion and belief based and founded in Christ. If you don't live for or love Jesus Christ, this particual opinion means nothing to you.

You have your own set of beliefs that you hold on to very dearly. I don't care whether or not you believe in anything... if you don't... if you call youself an atheist, which means, in essence... -- belief in nothing... then that belief is a belief that there is no God... and most of you atheists out there try way to hard to disprove God.... Why? Why waste your time if there is indeed no God? Just live your life THINKING that there is nothing after your body dies... that nothing really has purpose or reason.... that life is just something that was chance and just appeared there and isn't really special because no one really cares about it anyway.... Go ahead.... have fun with that.

I don't mean to come across as arrogant and holier than thou and that my beliefs and opinions count more than yours... if indeed you are an "atheist". There's really no way to get around the fact that what I believe is different from some other people... or what I think... or hold dear to my heart. No way to get away from that. No matter what it is I say... or how I say it.... it still is MY opinion... and MINE ONLY. You will still walk away from your computer after reading this with your own thoughts and beliefs...... guaranteed.

Just think of it this way - what if there is a God? And what if Jesus is the Son of God and willingly died and rose again for you so that you can be in Paradise and have eternal life there? What if what the Bible says is true.... then you die... what then? God won't be able to say to you, "Well done good and faithful servant." He'll have no choice but to say, "Depart from me, I never knew you." And hell is decribed as a place full of weeping and knashing of teeth... it is also an eternal place... the second death......... but anyway...... what if it's all true? Are you prepared to face the ramifications of the choice YOU made to hold onto your thoughts and beliefs that meant so much to you? Isn't the idea of God worth exploring in this case? Think about it.

I hope you don't mind if I comment...

I cannot believe in your definition of God just because of "what if"... what if he does exist... that's really not a good reason if you ask me. Beliefs should be equated with passion...if I have no passion for my belief then it is nothing. I will not believe just for the sake of 'what if'... You believe what you believe because of evidence that is real and true to you and those that believe something other than what you believe do it because their evidence is real and true to them. I don't think anyone should believe in God just because he *might* exist. If that's something you truly believe, then great for you. But why am I not allowed to believe what I believe? Why must you change my belief to yours? Too many wars have been fought in the name of religion. It all seems silly to me. I think there's so much more living out there to do without wasting time arguing over God. I could write more, but you're probably taking this as a huge insult anyway, so I won't. Your blog made me think and I wanted to share what I was thinking. I hope that was ok.
