so I figured out something to do with my blog and I have decided to start a string of letters. Letters to various people. Like people at impacted my life in some ways or just some people in general. I'm going to start by writing a letter to God. Now I am by no means a religious person and this is in no way me trying to project my views onto the other people. Its just something got me thinking if god truly exists and if he walked up to a random person that life has wronged them in some sort of way and god walked up to them and asked them a question. like for instance if god walked up to lets say a cashier at a super market and asked them "if you could change one thing about anything what would it be?" ill tell you what brought this on.
I wasn't supposed to work today but I'm glad I did. I came into work to do some training for my job and they tell me to get on a register. So me being the lovely person that I am figured what harm could it do ill just be here for like an hour. I go on my register and I want to say maybe an 45 minutes in a old man comes up with some mulch and some other things. I scan his items through and I finish his transaction and he looks to me and eyes my name tag. He asks "so are there many people in your class with your name?" I say " well yeah there are maybe 3 or 4 in my class with the same name but not the same spelling" he nodded and continues on out the door as I tell him to have a nice day. Later he comes back in with his cart to put it away and he walks up to me and says "you know you are a very smart girl. Really and very nice. I got a question for you" I say " okay what cha got for me" he replies with a question "So if you could fix anything and make it perfect what would it be?" I think about it for a second and reply with " poverty." he nodded and said " I can tell you are a forward thinker anything else you want to fix?" I said " Yes. social injustice." now he starts saying "you know we pray for all the world in gods prayer and so..." than he starts spewing out the lords prayer and I start to toon out because at this point in my head I'm saying oh god its one of those Jesus freaks here to tell me God can fix everything. I started to look at an other guest to show to him I have to work so he ended with lords prayer and said " and god be with you" and I replied with "and also with you" with the good pastors daughter I am, and than continued with another guest. but this got me thinking what if god were one of us.
what if god was someone you could just talk to just like you and me. this got me thinking about if god what going to ask one random person if they could fix anything who would he choose? Would he choose a billionaire with all the money in the world? Would he choose a homeless person with out a penny to his name? Would he choose a teenager with a baby that she can afford? would he choose a orphan adopted by gays? Or would he choose a cancer patient? Or a christen? Or would he choose an atheist?
If god chose to talk too you what would you say... would you know it was him? Would you think he was a crazy guy talking to you? I don't know but if god was just a stranger walking around and he asked random people what they would fix about the world and than he fixed it. what would happen.
I thought about that today when that old guy started talking to me. What if that old guy that was talking to me was God... and he just asked me to fix something in the world... first if that was really "God" than my views on religion are all wrong, and second of all if that was god he asked me to fix something about the world. If it was will he fix it? will he change the world to eradicate poverty and get rid of social injustice? if so that would be cool so now I'm going to try something. I'm going to write a letter to god. and to other people just to the world knows what I think about people.
Right now being a Pastors daughter my views on god are a little weird. I believe that if god truly existed why would he let all this hate be in this world. I like to say I don't believe in a deity. That I don't believe in one thing controlling the actions of the many. I think in my head most of the time that the bible is just an old book that some one read and people actually believed it was real. I read a story once on tublr about how the world is one person and one person is the world. By this I mean that the world is made up of reincarnations of one person and that everyone was once that person. and that once the world is done that being that all of us is or was becomes one almighty. and the great god that we believe in we will become.
that I thought was a neat interpretation of god. and to bring every religion in to it making it so that not one religion was right or wrong. but to make it so that all religions were one in the same and that every single person that ever was, is, or will be are all the same person. so those people that you just made fun of for being gay or for being something society thinks is wrong. is you. you are making fun of you.
