I guess you're sure he exists though, so, I spose that not existing thing doesn't really apply to you.... I wish I believed in God, that would probably make lots of things easier than just thinking we're just here acause of some accident where lightening hit some rock and turned it into a little creature, who turned into all of us...

Well, my parents probably would have had to have drilled it into my head when I was younger, I would need proof to believe now....


> In answer to all those other things. . .well, I know the only reason I'm who I am is because of God. I don't want to get started in a religious debate either, because I don't feel really sure of a lot of things right now. But isn't that what faith is all about? Just because I don't feel sure doesn't mean much. I try to live based on what I know and not what I feel, emotions are so. . .untrustworthy. If I ever doubt in God's existence, all I have to do is look at the miserable person I was before I met Him and I know He's there. The uncertainty comes with other things, church, people, my future, my family. Anyway. . .that's just me, what I'm going through, I don't know if it has relevance to you guys at all.
