These are 3 things that I am feeling today, based just on a group discussion around God.
I thought I am an open person, but I am learning I am not really as I like to believe I am. I realized that when I lack arguments, I tend to become aggressive with the interlocutor, and this is not necessary adding any value to the discussion.
I also noticed that I did not like the discussion how it happened, and only hearing the same argument over and over again.
I felt offended, because I felt I was not heard, and every time I wanted to say something I received more and more questions.
I do not think a debate should contain only questions, and same answers, I think we should have the time to prepare and document our arguments as well.
I felt also simple minded, because I do not understand why I should focus on learning about theology that much instead of living my life close to Him! What is the matter with gathering information around God and arguments to justify my faith when I am not living with Him on a daily basis.
I was called non coherent just because I do not want to accept something that today I believe is not right... but I think I am coherent to my God.
It was tiring, and frustrating a bit to talk with someone that already has made his mind up, and anything I will say will anyway be too much of a short argument,
I m happy the discussion ended after a while, but I know I could have done better,
I will investigate the matter to see what comes out :)
Lord I just wish we receive healthy food from our teachers! Protect us from a wrong theology and guide us more to a life lived with You!
