#240- Discuss an individual who has scared you.

When I first Pastor Jim Murphy he scared me, just because of how much he believed in God and all these things you couldn’t see.

It didn’t matter to him what happened, he just believed, even when the vampires picked off everybody who ever meant anything to him. I always wondered how a man could still believe in God after everything you had loved was taken from you. I know I stopped believing in Angels the night mom died.

His belief and unrelenting faith scared me, I couldn’t and didn’t understand and I still don’t to this day. Jim was a good man, dad wouldn’t have trusted him like he did if he wasn’t, but he scared me. I don’t think he ever understood me and my reluctance to embrace what he was telling me. Sam was a little easier to convince, I think because he was younger and Jim had a way of speaking that got your attention.

I don’t think I could ever trust in someone or something that I couldn’t see, especially with the existence of monsters, kind of makes you question if God really exists. I know it’s all about free will and bullshit like that but you have to wonder what kind of God would let demons run free without anything to balance the scales? What ever happened to these so called good forces?

After a while Jim stopped scaring me but his faith never stopped scaring the living crap out of me.
