There is no Jesus in that room.
Imagine a remote country, a city, a house that God doesn’t know about. A place where there is no God. A place where God doesn’t hear prayers, a place where God’s help is not available.
Would you like to be there or live there?
Lately I’ve been thinking about somewhat human-centered view of Christianity, and I come more and more to the realisation that we, humans, actually need God. God created us in such a way that we, each one of us, need God.
If you are an atheist, you believe that God doesn’t exist. Or do you? Are there people that 100% sure that there is no God? I’d like to meet them. I’d like to know how they feel when facing death. I’d like to know how they manage not to pray when their life is in danger. Humans are made in such a way, that we want God to be there, just in case. In case everything else fails.
God is like a hospital. We may spend our lives trying to prove that hospitals are useless or they don’t exist. But when the need comes, we all run to one and demand to see a doctor.
We are made in a way, that even though we may not believe that God exists, we still want him to be there, just in case.
Imagine a place where you are 100% certain that there is no God. A place where God doesn’t hear prayers. You’d be too scared to go there. Even if your prayers are never answered in this life, you still like having that prayer option available. Just in case.

In the last year I have thought about life without God. I have entred that room with no Jesus. I started to panic at one point. I have had little control over the things that matter to me in recent time. A time of waiting and hoping. I left that room. Closed the door behind me and decided to continue in faith.

Its a great idea to think about, the place with no God… it has been in my mind a lot since you spoke about it the other night…
