Aaargh wtc I'm starting to panic ): TWO MORE WEEKS OF HOLIDAY WHYYYY ): Okay. Time to start on homework :) Its now or never -.-
Urgh. I am so damn pissed. Just dropped two tetris ranks -.-! Retarded. Its always reach rank 20 and poof! Drop like crap. Hmph. Laggy com! A bad workmen always blames his tools ;D
Merry Christmas. I'm late, sorry, its over. I don't receive Christmas presents anyway. So, I watched a YouTube video about Christmas in a nutshell. I know I'll probably get flamed, hated on and trolled, but suck it. Yeah, I just copied Dennis ._. There was something about God sending down a baby to solve all our problems cause it was his presence etc etc. He walked among us, had a face etc etc. But...if God really was one of us, doesn't that make him human? And we humans aren't perfect. We make mistakes, do stupid things, we're just human. God can't be as human as that right? Or the Holy Trinity thing. The God + Jesus + Mary thing. If they are Trinity = 3 in 1 no? Then how come when Jesus dies the other two are still alive ._. I'm sorry. No offence intended. I crave pardon of offended :)
Religion - To believe or not?
Yes, I admit, there comes a time when we question ourselves, "Does God really exist?" And yes, sometimes I do lose faith. But think about it, who created the universe? This world? Us? Surely some divine being, no matter which religion's perspective you're looking at it from. Surely, that makes God worthy of worship.
Moving on, so what if there's God? If I don't have faith in Him, why should I worship him? Surely He does not want worshipers who only worship Him for the sake of it. Sure, we often hear, we must worship God, or we'll burn in Hell for eternity. That makes you worship God out of fear. But we all must fear God, and fear what he can do to punish us. Yet, we must also love God, because God loves us too.
Why love or believe in something you can't see or feel? I often think, "If I can't see it, it doesn't exist." So, it all boils down to "Can you prove there's God?" Well here's your answer:
Can you prove that you exist? Yes, of course you can. You merely use your senses to determine that you can see, hear, feel, smell, taste and you have emotions as well. All of this is a part of your existence. But this is not how we perceive God in Islam. We can look to the things that He has created and the way that He cares for things and sustains us, to know that there is no doubt of His existence.
Think about this the next time that you are looking up at the moon or the stars on a clear night; could you drop a drinking glass on the sidewalk and expect that it would hit the ground and on impact it would not shatter, but it would divide up into little small drinking glasses, with iced tea in them? Of course not.
And then consider if a tornado came through a junkyard and tore through the old cars; would it leave behind a nice new Mercedes with the engine running and no parts left around? Naturally not.
Can a fast food restaurant operate itself without any people there? That's crazy for anyone to even think about.
After considering all of the above, how could we look to the universe above us through a telescope or observe the molecules in a microscope and then think that all of this came about as a result of a "big bang" or some "accident?"
But that, you may say, is general. A more personal example? Before my PSLE, I talked to God. I said, "Dear God, I know that you exist and can have the power make anything happen. Please help me get fantastic results for PSLE and make me, my family, my teachers, and most of all, my religion proud. Please make my faith in you stronger. Show me and guide me to the right path. And if you do show me something, which would be really simple for you to do, like above, I pledge to donate $50 out of my own pocket money to the needy. So God help me." Yes, I did that. I never told anyone, to this day. But yes, I believe. And yes, I didn't study for PSLE. I wanted to experiment. If God loves me and wants to show me the right path, He will save me. And many times, He did.
Sure you'll say that's probably coincidence. I think not. But if you do know God exists and He created everything, He creates our success too, not ourselves. So if you know, if not believe, that He is all powerful, worship him. He forgives those who are truly sorry and repent, anyway. And if you truly want to find the light, venture. See what different types of religions have to offer. God knows everything that will happen, and has the power to make it happen, He has free will. We are the ones who make decisions what to do with our lives, we have free choice. And I pray that we all make the right choices. From Him we were created and to Him we will all return.
I know someone who has principles and sticks to them. And I thought, "Shouldn't I do the same?" And after some time, I said no. I mean, why should I? God already created those for me :)
