Lots of people in current times like to shy from the word “religious”. They don’t want to be considered religious, and a lot of times they don’t go to church often.
Yet I think there’s a fear for God still in them.
No, this isn’t because you see them worshipping all the time. It’s not because you see them relying on God for anything. But notice, when people want something really bad, or are completely desperate, their first instinct is to fold their hands, or walk into a church.
Could it be that faith is born with us? What if we were designed with some sort of need for God whether we acknowledge him or not?
Listen to BarlowGirl’s song “Pedestal”. It talks about needing someone perfect. How many young kids find role models? The little girls modeling their Bratz dolls, and wearing Hannah Montana wigs are a great example. What is it in us that makes us need to find a model of the person we want to be, then shadow their steps?
What if God put this desire in us so we’d look to him and follow his steps? It seems plausible, doesn’t it? The “intellectuals” mock the “religious” because someone “created” that God for the purpose of answering questions that no one else had the answers to that science now fills the spaces to. But what if that’s not true. I mean, think about it: if we didn’t have a need to worship, why would we have “created” a God? I think it’s more than brain receptor transmissions. There is something in us that craves an idol, that craves worship. And even those intellectuals who follow science wholeheartedly need something to believe in, something to grasp and passionately pursue.
But science can’t explain this desire in its entirety yet, can it?
