OK, so here’s an interview of Brad Pitt from Usmagazine.com. Brad, who grew up Southern Baptist, went down the road of many college students: he rejected his faith. Here’s why:
“I didn’t understand this idea of a God who says, ‘You have to acknowledge me. You have to say that I’m the best, and then I’ll give you eternal happiness. If you won’t, then you don’t get it!’ It seemed to be about ego. I can’t see God operating from ego, so it made no sense to me.”
-Brad Pitt
This line of thinking is one I have encountered from time to time. Tomorrow, I’ll tell you what my answer usually is.
You go first, though.
What would you say to a friend who brought you this objection to God?
