Hi there Cyber junkies!
I sincerely would like to have you comment on this one, irrespective of your religious affiliation; furthermore without undermining or scorning any belief system. This is aimed at enabling me to comprehensively understand issues related to the existence and demise of human kind. The questions posed in this publication are rhetoric and aimed at enabling you to provide the required clarity.
Two boxers kneel in their respective changing rooms to request Divine intervention from the Almighty before their scheduled bout. Who is God going to favour or is the impending victory depended on the boxer's preparatory training and execution of skills and tactics on the day? Which lead me to ...
Do we DIE because it is time, GOD has recalled us; or do we DIE because of the CHOICES we and/or other people make?
When listening to preachers and mourners during the time of bereavement, they always say that 'God has given, and now He has taken'. Does this mean God is responsible for our deaths? If that is the case, why would God knowing the socio-economic status of a certain family take the breadwinner? Why would God take that young man or woman whose family literally struggled to put through university and had just started a month ago at a new job? The family viewed this as emancipation from the adverse grip of poverty.
A person goes to a party or bar, decides to drink after which he drives. A family is cruising peacefully on their way home when suddenly they crash head-on and are killed instantly on impact with the drunkard who was driving on the wrong lane. A young lady who preserved herself and is untainted by any man until marriage, contract HIV on her first sexual encounter and later dies of AIDS. A young girl decides to fall pregnant, gives birth and strangles the newly born. A young man decides to have multiple sexual relationships without using any protective measure or condom, and later dies of AIDS. Gang of youngsters decides to hijack a car, kills the owner so that they can sell the car to feed their drug habit. The wife decides to hire a hit-man to dispose of her husband so that she can inherit all the wealth. A racist pig decides to go on a shooting spree to killed innocent passersby, because he can't stand seeing them. A terrorist group decides to shoot on a plane carrying 250 passengers who have nothing against their cause. A frustrated man or woman decides to commit suicide because he/she can't handle the pressure that comes with life. Need I go on. Did all these people die because that's the way they are destined to meet their Maker?
I sincerely believe that God has given us life and He can't live our lives for us, he is not responsible for the choices we make, so it is up to us to live life they way we choose to. We make choices every moment of our lives, and have to live with the consequences of the choices we make - whether good or bad. If a person decides to drive a car drunk, crash with another car and other people are killed on impact, they died because of the choice that that drunkard made. A young girl who suffocates a new born baby in a plastic bag does so because of her egotistic motives, or else she could have used contraceptives. A husband decides to use a gun to wipe-out his entire family and himself for reasons known to him. God loves all human kind equally and wouldn't allow a person to maim others so heartlessly.
That's my Take, What's yours!

Hi sir
ReplyDeleteSometimes we blame God for nothing. Like someone goes to Ebumnandini drink until drunk. Drives and kill innocent sober drivers bese sithi yintando ka Thixo. No, carelessness is not God's will. These people do no value life and by so doing other people who are on the road for good reasons get affected.
