Doubting faith
Margaret Hall - Sunday 7 March 2010
There’s an episode of the nineties’ television sitcom Seinfeld where George is complaining that nothing good ever happens to him. He says, “God wouldn’t let it happen.” His friend Jerry says, “I thought you didn’t believe in God.”
“I do for the bad things,” says George. If we’re honest we can all relate to that. When things are going well, we don’t necessarily attribute that to God. We might even take credit ourselves for the fact they’re going well. We might think it’s only right they should go well - it’s what we deserve.

Good morning! An advertisement once appeared in a London newspaper. It was placed by the famous explorer, Sir Earnest Shackleton. He invited volunteers to join his team which would cross the Antarctic. Here’s how the ad was worded: Men wanted: for hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success.’ Now, who would answer such an ad? Shackleton was flooded with applications, almost 5,000 men.
