“religion is for the scared and lost”
I was reading some youtube comments when I read the above statement. I’m sure that whoever wrote it was looking for an argument, but how can I argue with the truth? Religion IS for the scared and lost. Everyone is scared. Everyone is lost. That’s why so many people are searching to put their faith and hope in something. Whether it be a god, human, or material possession everyone is searching for that one thing that will fill the emptiness in their lives. I know I was “scared and lost” before I found the peace and truth in Jesus. Even though I became a Christian at the tender age of 3, I know what it’s like to ignore the creator of the universe. I felt empty. And scared. And lost. I can also remember what is was like to fully focus on Him- to let God lead and guide. I can tell you that I haven’t felt that emptiness since then. Every time I get the since of loneliness, it goes away quickly because God promised He would always be with us. And (just like our last lesson at Voltage) we all know that God keeps His word. So yes, I agree with the statement that “religion is for the scared and lost” and I’ve never met anyone who did not feel like that (even if s/he refuses to admit it!). However, if you put your faith and hope in God, the creator, you’ll never feel that way again.
