THE ENCOUNTER
I met a man who claims he has been set free from what he calls 'the lies' about the existence of God. He lived in a garden close to where I usually go and pray. He made some statements that proved that he doesn't believe in God anymore but knows that life originated from 'a god' as he called it. I was uncomfortable because he looked scary and that place was secluded from the main campus. I had to pause with my prayer (which I later regretted) and listened to him for what felt like an eternity. I asked him whether he ever experienced God personally and he said, 'It is normal for people to be led by emotions because that is what they have come to believe'. I was sad because this gentleman claimed he was born and brought up in a church but now, he has found what he calls 'truth'. He continued and said, it happens to everyone at a point in their lives when they would realize that all these stories were made up. At that point, I knew I had to leave. H
