What kind of a God is that?
One of the speakers today had her printer healed thanks to divine inspiration. She had to print something, and her printer hadn’t worked for several days, so she prayed about it, and God inspired her to whack her printer cartridge on the floor several times, and then the printer printed.
Over 1000 people died during Katrina in the state of Louisiana alone. Many were praying for God to send them help.
I want nothing to do with the speaker’s God.
Dave’s account of the story of the Brahmin gave me a different way of looking at the story. It is not that today’s speaker’s faith is not real, or not grounded in her own reality. It is that her faith is not my faith, and I don’t want her faith. I am not capable of that kind of faith.
God is what God is, and what I think of God affects the reality not one bit. However, I do not believe God fixes printer cartridges and ignores the pleas of the dying. And if he is that sort of God…I don’t want anything to do with him. Capricious, cruel and a respecter of persons? No thanks.
