Dear God...

No me considero en lo absoluto una persona religiosa, inclusive hay veces que me pregunto si realmente existe un Dios o simplemente es algo en lo que necesitamos creer. En el Budismo el creer en un Dios significa una debilidad del hombre, para los budistas es suficiente la capacidad que tiene el hombre, el "yo mismo", para poder alcanzar un estado de equilibrio mental, físico y emocional.

En momentos de desesperación la mayoría de las personas recurren o recurrimos a ese "Dios" y no considero que sea algo malo, al contrario, creo que el ser humano necesita creer que hay algo mas fuerte que todos y que todo lo puede, sobre todo en este momento en el que el planeta sufre un deterioro humano, ambiental y político increíble.
Escribo todo esto por que me encontré con está página http://www.dear-god.net/ la cual me llamó mucho la atención y podría decirse que hasta me gusto, en pocas palabras es como si estuvieras leyendo el email de Dios. Aquí, las personas le escriben a Dios, comparten con él sus anhelos y sus miedos. Una idea totalmente innovadora y llena de fe.

Dear God,

I can’t take modern society.

Everything I read in the bible seems to be contradicted by something today. And so many people are just so eager to tell me why you don’t exsist. I’m starting to wonder why I do still believe in you.

They are so much smarter than me and I really have nothing to tell them when they make a point. I just really hope you’re real. Because I’ve been slaving myself over a book that I barely understand. I’m trying to please you because I need you so bad right now, but where are you? I haven’t had much improvement yet. I weigh only 92 pounds, I lost 10 pounds, from throwing up from anxiety. I know you take your time, but is that just a silly excuse they tell us so we can’t doubt you? God works in mysterious ways, well doesn’t life too? Sometimes I just wonder if people’s happiness from turning to God is just power of suggestion. People always say you solve their problems and answer their prayers, they give you credit for the good stuff, well what about the bad?

Why can’t we blame you? I mean you do have the power to do anything, so why are you letting some of the bad guys get all the breaks while innocent people suffer? I need a real reason, not one that comes from some deep moral that I won’t understand. Just, so many people these days need you. And it seems like you haven’t really been there for them. Please help the homeless, and the mistreated, and the starving Africans, everyone who hasn’t seen you in so long and needs you, and when you get done with all of those, please help me.
