What do I believe ??

I was approached by a man on the bus who sat beside me and asked me about what do i believe in? I looked at him right into the eyes and kept quiet to hear what he has to say. If you are wondering, who is this person is. He is quite an ordinary chap out there, but rather brave to 'preach the good news of salvation'. Our conversation goes

Mr x : ' Hey man, my name is xxxx, glad to see you. whats yours ?'
Me : 'Glad to have you sitting beside me too. Mine Robin. What can i do for you ?'
Mr x : ' sure, i need only a few mins of your time to share something special for you. Whats your belief anyway, robin ?'
Me : 'oh xxx. i see, you are from a local outreach ministry here. Really glad that you are speaking to me, because i will chase you away, but i will enlighten you that there is NOTHING special that you will be telling me that i will believe in. ( smile )
Mr x: ' no worries robin, I have got a few question for you and a free book here!
Me : Go ahead .. shoot your question, surely it wont be hard for me to answer.
.... so the whole conversation goes to what i believe and the reason of me not agreeing with him
Mr x : it is really interesting talking to you.
Me : Well, i seriously hope you will think over what you believe and think thoroughly of what i said.
--- then he left with A RED face .. i think he seems angry. but i am composed.

These are the few question he asked me :

Qns 1 : Do you believe in GOD.
My answer : if you are talking about an ALMIGHTY GOD, who is alone ALL POWERFUL, ALL OMNISCENT and whatever attributes you accredited to it. I do not believe. Why must there be only one GOD and not many gods?

His answer : Because, in the beginning of time, it is stated that there is only ONE GOD. and by faith we believe that there is only one creator.

My response : Definitely its true, i have never doubted a story book. They definitely can get many audiences. I personally like the story book 'Harry potter' ... and like how you believe in faith, i believe that harry potter and magic exist. How amazing right.
( He was stunned ) and he proceeds to another question to divert off the 1st qns

Qns 2:
Quite interesting, But Robin, what is your belief ?

My answer : My belief is not important for you. Because xxx, you only believe that yours is the way of salvation and nothing else isnt it? otherwise, you will not bother spending your time talking to others about your faith right.?

His response : ( he went on to ask another question. )

Qns 3 :
Do you believe in MIRACLE ?

My ans : Explain miracle. I do not understand how you mean by do you believe in MIRACLE. because, having speaking to you is also a miracle! it kills my boredom in my bus trip! thats to me a miracle.

His response : chuckles, miracles as in, when you pray and you felt a change in your being or an answered prayer?

My ans : No, in that sense of miracle, i do not believe. Prayer is simply a mental motivation for me to strive ahead. The only miracle that can ever happen is when you work hard for your result. A farmer cannot just plant a seed and pray for harvest! he has to plough the field day and night to get his harvest!
Simarly its not a miracle that we are talking right into 10 mins of our bus ride. because you spend the effort talking to me

Qns 4:
Do you know GOD is alive and he is actively there and everywhere! and he is here as well!

My answer : How comforting to know that. ( i look around ) sorry but i dont see GOD at all. can you point the direction at where your GOD is ?
( he stunned ) but he replied quickly .. he is everywhere.!

this is my long reply to him on the existence of GOD.

XXX, it is really amazing how many people like you living in this modern age today believe in a fairy tale of a living GOD, who roams the earth and speaks to his chosen one. Sending message to selected few who have the charisma to understand.
But hey xxx, this are all we read in the book! its 2000 yrs ago! what happen to the 'active' GOD that is explicitly mentioned in the book ? where he speaks from the burning bush, spoke from heaven. having messengers. gave directions to people to flee sodom and gomerhea. Send his beloved son down to save us . and of cause many 'real life' actions from GOD.

God was so readily to punish unbelievers and reward the believers. He separated the red sea to demonstrate his power. given moses the magic stick that convince the pharaoh to believe and he sent his message to MARY to conceive Jesus. and etc etc. All i can say .. your GOD seems to be tired after the string of so many events .. that he is so passive now. THERE is nothing now that GOD demonstrated his power in the means your book says!

When tsunami strikes, when earthquakes kill millions and billions of African dying of hunger. Did anyone stand up and says like in the old time ... ' this is the sign of GOD, repent and believe?' absolutely there is no ONE person that summon such authority as in the history. BECAUSE, if the person do so , he is considered as an heretic! In the end, everyone prays in harmony and starts to compromise. I believe this is not how it was in the book! its either you believe or die!
So what happen to your GOD? why did he stop sending his message. why end with only a specific person / prophet that is till the end of time. leaving millions speculating who is right and wrong.

His response : Thats because Our first parents sin! thats why we are plague with this sin!

My answer : ( chuckled ) Well, God has definetly has committed a grave sin by charging all adam and eve sins to us! We jumped onto news that shows inhumane justice ruling crimes of a rapist father to the daughter, by charging her for seductively temptation. How horrendous when the father get free and the daughter was jailed for his mistake. Human rights will certainly starts campaigning for the release of the girl.. dont you agree this is evil?

So in the sense, if we jump on such horrendous act of injustice. why agree to GOD's sin of charging us adam and eve's sin ? how partial is this GOD of yours. And furthermore, do you know your GOD has allowed ADAM and EVE to commit incest. because GOD is the father, Adam and eve are son and daughter of GOD. do you ever see this point ?

Qns 5 :
Hey Robin, i can see that you read alot. But its all about faith. GOD answers the prayers of his faithful.

My response : Oh ... ( i snugged and chuckles ) NO he doesn't! he does not answer the prayers of his faithful. Share with me some incident of how GOD have answered your prayers!

I would like to share with you, When i finished one seminar at indoor stadium, it was crowded, but i waited for the crowd to leave before leaving home, noticing the time is late. i walked to the roadside and hoping to get a cab, But i could not find one, i briefly closed my eyes and prayed for a cab, guess what, when i opened my eyes! there was a cab right in front of me .. Praise god. this is called trust in GOD.

My response : ( laughing out loud ) whoa ..! your GOD is so busy answering your prayer for a cab that he simply left all he needs to do to help and answered prayers of billions children dying of hunger, tsunami victims, people entrapped in the tyranncy of a government. etc etc .. how amazing!

---------- HE STUNNED -------------------------

I was approaching my stop, so i summarise for him.

xxx, we are living luxuriously with everything we wants in our fingertips. we have a roof ontop of our head and food available everywhere. There is no hassle or tussle for any necessities.
so we can easily say .. hey GOD is here with us.. he is everywhere. But hey look at those third world countries .. where is GOD? African have thousands and millions of believers as well. They prayed all day long for peace and food. Did anything happen?

xxx, GOD is not everything. Infact a person need not to believe in GOD to be successful or even just simply being happy!

There are simply too many doubts on the existence of an ALMIGHTY GOD who create the world! Because we see too many imperfect creations in the world. think about it. If we predestined to be GOD's children, dont all of us deserve the best ? why disaster? why AIDS? why cancer? why all the bad things?

Believing in GOD, is simply a fairy tale in a story book like my belief in harry potter and magic. It does not exist in the world , but ONLY exist in my mind...
