Location: East Texas | I just read this and thought it was a wonderful analogy... for those of us who believe and for those who question that there is a God!!
In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other: “Do you believe in life after delivery?” The other replied, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.”
“Nonsense” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?”
The second said, “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can’t understand now.”
The first replied, “That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.”
The second insisted, “Well I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here. Maybe we won’t need this physical cord anymore.”
The first replied, “Nonsense. And moreover if there is life, then why has no one ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery there is nothing but darkness and silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.”
“Well, I don’t know,” said the second, “but certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.”
The first replied “Mother? You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable. If Mother exists then where is She now?”
The second said, “She is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are of Her. It is in Her that we live. Without Her this world would not and could not exist.”
Said the first: “Well I don’t see Her, so it is only logical that She doesn’t exist.”
To which the second replied, “Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you focus and listen, you can perceive Her presence, and you can hear Her loving voice, calling down from above.”
I thought this was one of the best explanations to the concept of GOD.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I have some folks I need to share it with!
You are very welcome, but don't be surprised if they don't have a positive response.
I shared with a friend (who is an attorney and extremely intelligent... but dumb!!). Of course, he came back with a lot of "junk" about how I am an atheist because I don't believe in the gods of all these other religions and sent me some video. I thanked him for the video and told him I cared about him and I continue to pray that one day he will believe so we can spend eternity together in heaven arguing about other things!! LOL |

That was a wonderful response! Much more tactful than I would probably have been! (I need to ask the good Lord to help me with my tacky thoughts about certain things and folks!) |
