Stabile Letter

To the Editor,
I am not someone who usually writes strong opinions based on something I have seen in the paper. However, something in Matt Edick’s review of “End of Days” sparked something in me and I felt the need to voice my response.
One of Matt’s comments said (in referring to the three genres the movie was suppose to cover) “. . . a holy trinity we are suppose to believe was made of flesh, so-to-speak, but like Jesus and his own powers of three, it is simply not true.”
I know that there has been quite a bit of debate in this paper lately over religion. I’m not going to sit here and give you a bunch of different Bible versus that you probably won’t even look up and if you did, probably wouldn’t believe anyway.
I have only been a Christian since last year. So I know preaching to you doesn’t help, I know exactly how you are thinking. Believe me, I used to think the same way. I wish I could tell you that I went to some “place” or I saw some “thing” that suddenly made me realize the truth. But it wasn’t like that at all.
My best friend, showed me what a Christian is by living it. She didn’t preach to me, she told me her beliefs and I was open to hearing them, just like she listened to mine. And over a couple of months time, I sat down, I thought, A LOT, and I listened to my heart.
Everyone comes to God in their own way, because God is personal and speaks to each of us differently, that’s part of what makes Him so great.
I would challenge Matt to come to my church, to hang out with me and my friends, and listen to us. And to look inside himself. There is no “magic” in being a Christian, it’s all about faith. And faith is something many people don’t want to rely on nowadays.
I do have just one question though: Why is it that a lot of people who say they don’t believe will pray to God to help them when it comes down to the most important things or when people fail them?
