My Am Lit teacher is an Atheist. He believes and teaches some stuff I don't necessarily like. I'm going to attempt to refute what he's said and might say.
Today in class, we discussed a a Shelley poem called, "Queen Mab." In the notes of said poem, Shelley writes about God being just as loathsome as worshipful because He created evil as well as good. I'm aware that I did not phrase it exactly, but that's basically what my teacher said he said.
Okay: Now, I'm gonna tell y'all a secret. I've faced temptation related damage. God created my brain the way it is. God allowed me to love my friends in a certain way. God allowed me to be tortured by the devil with them. Do I think God is the evil and messed up one? No!
After this begun, I really didn't like myself at all. I did some things that helped mess up my short term memory, focus, and inhibitions. It would seem that if anyone had reason to hate God, it would be yours truly. I mean, God really messed my life up, didn't He?
Nope. Nada. You get the picture! Let's fast forward. I still have some cognitive issues, but God has granted me a speedy recovery! I didn't think I'd EVER get over it, or at least, not quickly! Oh, when one sinks down as low as they think they can in real life limbo, they think there's nowhere to go but up! The product of that mindset is who I am, to an extent! I think that anything is possible through God! My change has been multi directional! I have gained much, much more than I've lost! My joy (and thus my worship) has gained from it!
God knows that without the bad, including the truly sickening and messed up, we would not appreciate the good as much. We would be bored to death! This is why I love and worship God! As it is, so let it be!
