YOU HEATHEN, GOD IS REAL. (Part 1)

To not believe in the transcendence and existence of a supernatural deity is a thing I have come to learn of as having taken much pre-eminence among the affluent in the society. I stand corrected if any of you my readers have ever crossed paths with a less fortunate in the society who claims not to believe in God. If any, then I submit to you it is just but a temporal emotional spasm, or maybe out of a feat of mild irritation for not being equal with others around them.

And as such I today write not to all readers but to an elect class, lofty class, affluent class, wealthy class, self-driven and accomplished cadre who perceive themselves a little higher than the ordinary earthlings; in particular my age-set.

Yes, I write to you kids from rich families who have more than it needs, who feed on more than you can chew and excrete. I write to you who feel you own yourself and are in yourselves an embodiment of a judge, jury and execution; Alphas and Omegas of your own course and destinies. I write to you alone today for the grief that has recently sprayed its torrents into my soul that a decent quartile of you no longer believe in the existence of God.

I must confess that am beside myself with emotions while writing this, but I guarantee you the best clarity and sobriety of my person when I tell you that you surely are in the stalest form of human existence, stagnant in every way that requires dynamism and tentative in every aspect that requires swiftness.

There is surely a reason that preceded before you plunging into the wildest imaginations that no superior being exists. Some of you are ardent believers of natural causalities, scientific theories of natural forces, evolution, nothingness and vanity. I shall spare myself the displeasure of dispensing the flaws within these moral tonics but rather have the pain of pointing out the flaw in your own internal belief system.

Seeing is believing as they say it. Now most of you have fortunately grown up into and through abundant providence, with mum getting it all or dad cashing it all and through this it has been merry and mellow. It has been bread and butter for even when you are in a fix; your parents could swoop in splendour of their financial awe to rescue you seconds away from disaster. And through all these provision, there is no single day you have seen God or an angel literally walk into your home carrying a shopping bag, or new car keys, an uncashed cheque; it always was dad or mum. Which makes you conclude that there is no God.

They sweated it all after all, right? But the question is what or who is the origin of the owner of the opportunity through which they earned? Go ahead and ask them, who they think created the owners of factors of production; and should they give a whimsical answer such as “The forces of supply and demand” look at them and smile. And if they be clueless, question your stand.

Humans are to err, I agree. But I retort and say instructions are a civilised propensity to ensure order and efficiency in a man’s operations. Instructions are but redundant steps of a process done earlier, applied to a current scenario or problem having a reasonable proof (scientific or by gut feeling) that the same old steps will sort one out of a current fix. And now someone tells me that the bible is too archaic not to be used by mortals as a spiritual guide that bears instructions. You tell me, and with such strong conviction that it is a belief system that has overtime been developed as a pillar of consolation to men who need something beyond reality to cling to. If that is the case, then why do we still rely on the sun that is as ancient as earth itself? “But the sun is real, we can see it”, you may say.

And I ask, can reality be constricted within the constructs of vision alone. I mean I have never seen electricity, but bless my soul I know its power; especially when transduced into another form of energy; say light or worst case scenario as random kinetic energy while receiving an electric shock.

Still on the validity of the bible as a manual, I stand firm to say it is the most sound of guides to use. And I say with no shadow of doubt that the authors of this book were under the influence of a greater power. Because no piece of art was done devoid of a speck of inspiration. And thus for those who see the bible as a piece of art, then it is right to know too that it certainly was writer post inspirationally. Which begs the question; what would inspire the writing of such a marvel library of doctrine, touching stories and solutions to real life problems.

For sure an old man as Moses of the great Exodus, even in the worst dementia could not just wake and start babbling stories about creation and rules about how a nation as Israel would follow as stipulated in the Torah books. For sure the prophets would not babble of prophecies much accurate as to the coming of a King years down the line, for sure nobody made up the story of revelations and frame John the revelator as having been the author; and please tell me that all those epistle written by Saul now Paul that are so relevant to personal contemporary experiences were also made up!!!

I re-iterate. You may say that belief in God is but a religion made up to console the weak or beaten or poor or the clueless or the depressed or those who have given up; to fill their sense of grief, guild, under achievement, loneliness, emptiness and a life of no fun. I strongly stand with you on that. But again, who isn’t lonely, who isn’t defeated, who is it that has got it all figured out, who never gives up, who has never felt grief, who is it whose conscience though so much seared with iron never kicks back to life, who is this constant achiever in all aspects of life. If there is none, then “this religion was made meant for all of us.”

Take a tour at your pleasure and come to the true facts; palaentologically proven that these men truly existed. Up to you if you go an extra to discover that the gospels aren’t overrated nor exaggerated. That is all at your convenience; but one thing is for sure that even your school of thought that you so much treasure as being logical follows a blueprint whose origin is but of human origin learnt from class, experience, observation or even apprenticeship. But beyond your normal, superficial and amorphous thoughts lies a totally new world that surpasses your senses and education. It beats your logic and renders stupid the reality that you have so religiously become devoted to. And as that I shall use nothing else but the bible to show why you soon need to be a believer; especially after reading this post.
