Faith…
I’m finished fighting or arguing over why I believe and I’m finished hearing clever talk about why you think God does not exist.
Well non-believer, it’s as simple as this: do me a favor and test Him this once:
Just ONCE talk to Him ‘as if‘ He IS. You don’t need to kneel, close your eyes or fold your hands – you need to just talk to Him. Say something like :
“GOD, I don’t believe in You and I feel like an utter fool actually talking to someone or something I don’t believe in, BUT, God, You know BB – well at least she says You do. And she says that she knows You. Now, I do think she’s a bit crazy at the best of times… but IF You exist, Father, would You show me, so that I might see You the way she does – even if only for a moment? IF You ARE – Would You speak to me or plant a seed of faith in me, in that almighty powerful way that those that call themselves Your children talk of so reverently? I can appreciate that they also say that Your time is not my time- and they say, that apparently You always pick the right time – but I’m in no hurry, God, since I don’t believe in You in any case, but IF You ARE, would You then please show me before my life on earth is through, coz it seems like that’s a really BIG concern for ‘Your kids’ for some reason.
Oh and God, while I’m at it… IF You DO reveal Yourself in a day, a month, a year, a decade – and I do happen to find Faith, help me to contact at least one of the people whom I may have ridiculed in this regard for so long, to let them know… And if You don’t God – well then, I’m sure they won’t mind either, but apparently they’d be glad to hear it. Now, ……. what ’s that word those silly Christians use at the end of a prayer again 
– Oh yes, AMEN! …”
…or whatever else you might say to get over the akward feeling of having spoken to someone who is not.
Why you would want to do this? Wait!! I hear you saying : “ok, I’ll do it – IF YOU, BB, just ONCE act as IF He ISN’T – or DOESN’t exist!!
Easy!! I’ve been there, I’ve done that too – many countless times, repeatedly, gone rushing in where angels feared to tread – got the bruises and the scars – and that is why I can choose to keep the faith and LIVE the Faith.
Because it KEEPS me.
Please remember to try to communicate with God earnestly and respectfully (it’ll only be this one time – and nobody needs to know except for Him and you 
, if You ridicule Him face to face in that which I call ‘prayer’ – please don’t hold it against Him, me, or Christianity as a whole, should you meet Him on your way down one day 
(and by that I certainly don’t mean ‘hell’, dearest reader, coz who am I to (a) judge you or (b) prove its existence – no, I merely mean the ’6 foot under’ kind of ‘down’)
Be Blessed Allermooistes!! (ja, JY ook – want of jy dit wil glo of nie, van Hom af kom jy en na Hom toe sal jy terugkeer – en wanneer jy eendag voor Hom staan wens ek dit eerlik en opreg met my hele hart, sonder enige beterweterigheid of voorbarigheid, maar nederig en opreg: dat nie net jy Hóm sal ken nie, maar Hy vir JOU!!) xx
As jy tot hier gelees het, sal jy tog dalk my ‘dare’ uitoefen – indien nie, is dit regtig ook jou keuse… Ek dink ek is op hierdie stadium in my lewe te veel deur hoog en diep, dat jou persoonlike sinisme en/of intelligensie en/of ontnugtering my bootjie nog kan ‘rock’.
NB: (Amen DOES NOT MEAN ‘ten-four’ or ‘ciao’ or ‘Aufwiedersehn’ or ‘Cheers’! 
, it means : “It shall be so” )
LW!! : Hierdie is NIE!! person-specific aan enigiemand gerig nie!! (En moet asb nie woorde in my mond loop lê nie!! – dis eerder kommentaar by meer blogs as wat ek care to remember waar ek toelaat/toegelaat word om verbaal te ná gekom te word oor my geloof – wat per slot van sake slegs veronderstel is om jou so om te krap ás ék en slegs ékself jou al ooit reg bewys het m.b.t. jou opinie oor godsdiens en geloof).
Hoekom dit ‘ok’ is vir ‘n ateïs of dan nou ongelowige om my geloof in God en dan spesifiek my God te question of te ridicule (in wie hy/sy in any case nie glo nie ) gaan my verstand te bowe.
Hoekom dit ‘ok’ is om te vra: “Wat doen jou God??” of “Waar’s jou God??” as jy nie self een het nie (en dit duidelik maak dat jy ook nie een benodig nie), is beyond me. (Maybe is dit juis jou innerlike dieper self (jou spiritual being) wat tog maar soek na een???
Naaaaaaa!!!
