Holy Blogging, Batman.

Most of us know about this new Facebook feature, where there are poll questions asked of the public and they reply in kind. The polls range from all the important topics such as 'Eminem of Justin Bieber?' 'What hurts more, giving birth or getting kicked in the balls?' and 'Who do you hate more?' with the top vote getters being 'Fat sluts', 'Kids with rat tails and nike airmaxs' and 'General Cunts'. While these questions do prove to be quite interesting and vital to my lifestyle, one particular question caught my eye. 'Is there a God?'.


Facebook is not renowned for it's deep and meaningful efforts, but the sole question, 'Is there a God?' gave me an uplifting feeling. The votes, as they stand, 'No' has 226,463 votes. 'Time will tell', an extremely simple answer, sits with 211,242 votes, and 'Yes' has received 2,361,312 votes. More than ten times the other results, 'Yes' is the truthful answer, simply because it has the most votes.

God will never be proven, officially as existent. Yet there is no way to extinguish the hope of those who claim he is real, God will exist so long as somebody believes in Him. I, myself am not a believer in religion, yet the hope and joy it can offer people is one of the great things about this planet. Billions of people pour their souls out day after day, to a greater being above them without proof of existence. God doesn't represent an all powerful being, God represents the chance for humans to come together and believe.

While God remains an unknown property in this blog, the people who believe in him and trust in him are certainly there. God is the forefront for love and harmony, where the church built in his honour promotes   trust, happiness and love between all people. If all people joined into faith, we would be strong in our resolve to love one and other, trust each other and be happy in our togetherness, God would be proven as existent. Yet, as it stands there are many people out there who feel the opposite, and although the existence of a higher power, guiding humans along the road seems illogical to many, the morals and ethics behind him are not.

So while God remains unknown, the people who believe in him create him, and keep him alive to this day. God is forever to exist, simply because people think he does.
