Philosophical shit
I am by far the worst Catholic in the history of being a Catholic! It's not that I believe in God- I BELIEVE! It's just that I tend to question Him. Yes indeed, I question his almighty wisdom and knowledge. But every time I DO truly question him out loud, he always proves to me that whatever he did was the most awesome thing for us. It gets annoying sometimes. Hehe.
Like last night, I was just thinking about it when I suddenly had the urge to ask my mother. I said, "Hey mom, if God is soooo perfect then why couldn't he have just made us all perfect?"
She went, "Everything would've been absolutely boring!"
"Yeah, but we wouldn't have noticed because we would've been sooo perfect that we'd want to be perfect!" I retorted.
"Hmmm.." She contemplated for a second. "Well, we wouldn't have free will."
"What do you mean? We'd have free will but because we're perfect we'd choose the good choice." I reasoned.
"Imagine having to choose between chocolate and vegetables- if we were so perfect we wouldn't have ever experienced eating too much chocolate and spoiling ourselves because vegetables are healthier." She exclaimed, laughing at her logic.
"Hah. Instead of looking at hot guys we'd be looking at dudes who have good personalities!" I added, horrified.
"Exactly!" My mom chuckled. "God just wanted us to have fun!"
"Yeah but lots of people take that for granted." Mom shrugged.
"It WAS their choice or the choice of their descendants."
"Yeah, poor dudes." We giggled then journeyed on to dreamland.
That really made me think. If a dude reasoned that God was too scared to make choices for us, I would totally reason that we wouldn't have it any other way, would we?
I would never have liked it if I were made to believe that Joe Jonas with short hair isn't hot like Kami tells me! Or I would've killed myself if I were forced to become over-religious and downright hypocritical. Or be forced to eat vegetables! Yay for God and his supreme wisdom! Without him, we wouldn't have any fun.
You know, from what I've learned.... WE SHOULD NEVER BE PERFECT! Nor should we ever want to be. For the first time, I'm mighty glad that I'm flawed. I will never envy my friends even if they happen to be much prettier than me, or the smart people who study too much, or Taylor Swift for stealing Joe Jonas, or God (because he has to listen to all of us whine).
Sorry about this entry, I just wanted to let you guys think and contradict me if you want to. I DARE YOU! If you agree with me though, I'd totally love you.
