Our pastor gave a sermon today. In it he was talking about the people waiting in the upper room. He surmised with one raised eye brow that there were no skeptics in THAT room, and punctuated it with "I'm just sayin." I was not offended, but I am definitely skeptical, so I took his comments negatively.
Like many of my scientific pals, I embody the three S's
- Skeptical
- Sarcastic
- Cynical
Part of it's in my DNA and part of it is learned behavior from my church experience. But whether nature or nurture, that is who I am and it's not changing any time soon.
Is it reasonable to say this is how you made me? At least I can say that who I am is a product of forces outside myself and my control.
It seems that we who abide by the three S's are unfairly at a disadvantage in "entering the kingdom of God" or knowing You. You said that about the rich man, but I don't think he's the only one.
What I'm hoping is that somehow you account for the personalities (you gave each of us) when you judge us in the end. What are your thoughts God?
