How Long Have You Been Praying to the Wrong God?  
 

  By Greg Vanden Berge  Articles For Christians


I was talking to a friend of mine one day, when he asked me, what if you're wrong Greg, and Jesus is the real thing? I have ran this thought through my head so many times, that I blurted out an instant response,” I can't worship something, that doesn't make any sense or satisfactory scientific evidence to back up its claims. The structure around Christianity is weak, and with that said, what if one of the other religions is right.”

My friend, obviously wasn't ready for my response. He looked like he had just had a small herd of elephants dropped in his front yard. He had obviously never thought of this question and was now confused. That's when I took the golden opportunity, to ask him a similar question.

I ask him,” How long have you been praying to the wrong god? I wasn't about to ask him, a tougher question, like,” What if you are wrong and another religion is right.” One easy question at a time, seems to be the best way to deal with people who seem to be convinced that they are right and often feel sorry for all the other religions that they view to be wrong.

After about 30 seconds of deep thought… and keep this in mind he was driving the car, I didn't want to press anything, too deeply, just in case he was to lose his concentration. His response was simple and similar to most that I asked that question to, who had never even thought about it.

He said,” I don't know… what if I am wrong… I'm 65 years old and if I'm wrong, can I change, but how would I really know.” I'm not going to continue the conversation that we had, but I would like you to ask this question to yourself and spend some time thinking about it.
