Nully, I have wavered between belief in God and Science for most of my life.
Science makes sense, but every once in a while I feel.... Love.
Is that God? I don’t know.
It’s just that if there is a God, and He has made this plan, how can we fight it? To what end?
And if there isn’t “a God”, why does all this bible stuff seem to keep coming true?
Ack. I’m just verklempt, as usual.
Anyway, Rabbi Eli Schmitt, has occasion to ask Satan about his plans in person.
Satan lays them out.
Although he claims he is "by no means an expert on the Book of Revelations, but I have often thought that the Christians had something right when they depicted the end of the world," Rabi Schmitt says, "there is nothing you describe in there, YOU ARE GOING TO FAIL!"
Satan gently responds, "But I have to try, Rabi, it is what I do." then kills him.
Fighting evil is what I do. There is no shame in failing, especially if it is part of His plan.
Although I have no certainty of His existance, (faith-blind, remember?) I don't feel the Love, the Ecstasy, the Warmth of His breath on my cheek, or His hand on my shoulder, if He exists, I have little choice but to follow His plan. Even if that is to fail, even if that is certain death, even if I have no hope of any eternal reward.
It is what I must do.
