When God was one step
Ahead of Santa
When Jesus said that only those who were drawn by the Father could be His followers Jesus lost a large number of them outright away. Jesus had no recorded enlightening comment acknowledging the incident either.
This suggested to many that the idea that everyone is inclusive, not just those who were attracted by the Holy Father. I sort of falls l.into the same category when I wondered if one had to be intellectually able, to qualify as followers instead of everyone qualifying.
Suggests also that God could be judged by those attending church weekly. This is the hypocrite label. If hypocrites go to church then not only is everyone else one, but God Himself as well.
I also thought the adults were in with God so I was judged God by the actions of the elders and minister which was the logical fallacy of misplaced authority.
As a child I figured that the adults stuck together. This is a weak excuse but still an excuse just the same and I even scolded God over it. But I carried it into adulthood still and all. I had been also a college atheist and somewhat pompous at it too.
But when my favorite professor said if one is educated then they do not believe in God, I felt a tinge of doubt sneaking into picture. The little theologian was waking up.
