More That Matters with Christopher Shennan


The attraction or repulsion we feel toward people, places and things, extends to the realm of ideas as well.

Why is the idea of God's existence repulsive to some people, and so comforting to others?  Could it be we reject the idea of God, not because He doesn't exist, but because we do not want to be responsible to another Being?  We want to remain in control of our own lives.  We want to do our own thing, without having to give an account of our actions to anyone, particularly a supernatural Being?

We may have many "reasonable" arguments against the existence of God, but sometimes our hearts betray us.  Sometimes, when we are being honest with ourselves, the idea of a God who really loves us can be very attractive indeed.
