Here are
some random questions I’ve wondered about while cruising down the highway of
life – maybe you’ve considered some of them yourself:
If there is no God, why are people so aggressively opposing
those that talk about and believe in Him? You don’t hear people protesting
Santa Claus, the Easter bunny or the tooth fairy? Could it be because those really don’t exist, so why bother?
If we are all the result of random evolution, with no rhyme
nor reason, no ultimate purpose, just inconsequential products of cosmic chaos,
why do we even care – about the poor, the disadvantaged, economic inequities,
little children that are mistreated, weaker people abused by stronger people?
If it’s all about the “survival of the fittest” and nothing more, why don’t we
just cheer on the “fittest” and boo the “unfit”?
In America, why do we drive on parkways and park in
driveways?
If buses stop at bus stations, and trains stop at train
stations, what should happen at your work station?
Why did God choose to take on human form 2,000 years ago,
long before the invention of the Internet, smartphones, Twitter, Facebook,
YouTube and 24/7 news coverage and talk shows?
If “sophisticated” people are such strong advocates of
“tolerance,” why are they so vocally and viciously intolerant of people that don’t agree with them or share their
values?
When did “democracy” come to mean minority rule?
Why does “honest politician” have to be an oxymoron?
Doesn’t it require more faith to believe God does not exist?
Why is it that more liberals focus on conservation, and more
conservatives focus on liberation – from taxes?
When some people make bad decisions or foolish choices, why
are they so quick to blame God for the consequences – “Why me?”
What does it really mean to be “born again”?
Why do we like to complain about “big government” – except
when we want roadways repaired; emergency relief following disasters;
protection from terrorism; safeguards for the foods, drinks and drugs we
consume; traffic lights fixed; assurances of medical care when we need it;
police and fire protection; restraints on offensive or fraudulent communications;
regulations against unscrupulous businesses; military protection when necessary;
safety in our use of all forms of mass transportation; and rigid quality
standards for many types of products we buy?
When did we decide that good should be regarded as evil, and
evil should be celebrated as good?
Why are “Jesus Christ” and “God” sometimes used as curse words, and
not Buddha, Confucius, Vishnu, Krishna, Muhammad or Allah?
