...nature

I believe it all just happened. 

All of life, all matter, all people, the entire universe, the whole shooting match—all of it. Isn't it so easy to think that all the stars we see at night just magically appeared one day? 

Out of all those stars and planets only one tiny planet had intelligent life, that we know of, and all this by accident—wow. That some slime came out of the water and presto—I'm here!

It's simple to believe Mother Nature [such a kind lady] decided one day that I needed "eyes to see" and "ears to hear" [where did she get those great ideas from?] Did she invent the mouth and voice box because that's my favorite gift from Ma Nature. 

I love to speak! I do wonder what was around before the stars and the universe? What was Mother Nature doing and where was she prior to that? Yes, it's all so easy to believe it all just happened—no purpose, no reason, just here I am, and boom—I'm gone. However, I do have a question or two for Ma Nature if I ever see her:

• Why do I have this "thing" called a conscience?

• If there is no real purpose, why is it needed? 

• Why can't I just go and do whatever I feel like and not feel bad about it?

• Why does Love for others feel good?

• Who invented that?

I'm thankful she gave me this internal deep yearning to know my Creator; is it Ma Nature?

Of course, there is no Sodona Brotherhood [well, who knows] I made this all up! 

However, there are a lot people who believe at least part of the above.

"But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them, bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed, these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping" 2 Peter 2:1- 3.
