Mysterious Ways

Renee Descartes has tried to prove the existance of God in his book, Meditations on First Philosophy. Since then, many other philosophers and people in general have tried to reason if there is a God. Sometimes this belief is questioned. For instance, people in Indonesia were not estatic when a giant wave destroyed the lives and property of thousands. It is difficult for an Indonesian who had very little to begin with, and then loses everything, to approach church with a heart brimming with faith. There are countless other examples of seemingly unfair occurances including terminal ilnesses, the loss of a loved one, and the armenian massacre of the early 20th century. The answer that many provide is that God works in mysterious ways. Like... I guess... there was some divine reason for an Armenian genocide from 1915 to 1917. I have recently had my own conflict of faith. I have not been able to find the nintendo wii anywhere. I've been calling a whole bunch of video game and electronics stores. The result is constant rejection fused with laughter and a type of depression that I thought only existed in Spanish independent films . Maybe God has a purpose for holding the wii in back order for so long after the holiday season. But if God is hoarding hundreds of wiis I still can't figure out why playing 100 systems of revolutionary interface and completely unique gaming experience would be better than just using one. I guess the overrated band U2 was correct when Bono sung, "It's all right, it's all right, it's all right/ she moves in mysterious ways/ O-o-oh"
