One of my questions on my Q&A that I passed in today in class was about God these days. The Bible is a good collection of stories, literal or metaphorical, but why has there been no follow up in the last 2,000 years? Where has God been? I'm sure He isn't up there saying that He did a good job and everything has worked out just the way he wanted... So when are we going to hear from him? When is the Bible's sequel going to come out? I'm not as interested in it as the second Hunger Games movie...but it would still be pretty interesting. In all seriousness, the world is not a place of prosperity and loving kindness, and if that is what God wants us to be all about, why did he intervene in the world for a short time span back then and then never since? I think we could use a little guidance, a word of advice, or even a threat to flood the whole planet unless we get our acts together.
On the other hand, what is keeping us from saying that this is proof that God doesn't exist? For all we know, we are victims of the biggest hoax in the history of the world, at the hands of a few tricky scribes of the ancient past. People say it all the time, what kind of god would let things happen to people? What "mysterious way" is God acting in that allows for the Holocaust, genocides in Africa, and worldwide terror attacks? If He exists, I think it might be time for God to show us that he's still around.
