Afterlife – An Ode to God’s Goodness Courtesy of E. Vince

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:47:02 GMT

Life is never a straight road. There will be bumps and obstacles along the way that will force you to go off course. As mere human beings, when faced with adversity, we often get disheartened. We begin to question God’s goodness and feel abandoned. A good narrative example is the landmark Candide, by Voltaire. In his work, Voltaire presents a preponderance of human follies leading to tragedies and a naïve Christian who shallowly rationalizes each of the tragedies as God’s will. AfterLife takes a dive deeper into spiritual and psychological dynamics to present an alternative view that will hopefully resonate with non-theists as much as with theists. Candide was designed to demonstrate the folly of faith; AfterLife was inspired to demonstrate the virtue of faith.But what if we looked back at life, this time, with a different perspective? Not one in which we infer based on outcomes, but rather one where we infer despite outcomes—faith.Bearing the torch of hope with the power of t...
