[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]So when someone doesn't find God in this journey, people who make this argument say "his heart is closed", "his search was not genuine", "he was not ready to receive God". In other words, the failure to find God is the fault of the seeker. That's incredibly condescending. [/quote]

I understand your argument.  But I truly believe that people who honestly and openly seek God (or whatever they call their higher power) will find Him.  I think it's impossible not to.  I think God wants us to look for Him.

I'm not talking about the whole heaven and hell, Southern Baptist stuff.  I'm talking about a simple spiritual connection with your creator.

If other people say they tried, and they failed, how can you know they did it wrong?  What about the people who once truly believed just like you, and now don't?  Having once opened their heart, it seems they should now either follow or reject god, but it would be impossible to disbelieve in him because that knowledge cannot be undone.  And yet people fall out of faith all of the time.

I'm sorry, it may not come from a mean-spirited place, but it really is condescending.  You are finding fault with people for no other reason than that their search for faith is unsuccessful.  [/quote]
