    BA- Think about it.

    I am and I have.

    I can see how you can find comfort in those words.

    I have in the past.

    I have deffinitely gone down a path of being angry at God.

    I have read and explored a lot of different viewpoints and theorys.

    And if there is a God and he wrote the bible he already knows what I am going to do, before I know it.

    The funny thing I have found is this.

    We see what we want to see.

    So its hard to be objective.

    If I say tonight, I want to believe the bible is the word of God and start reading the bible again,

    I will be able to find an answer for most of the questions I encounter, some will be better than others.

    Some will require humility and giving up my will and understanding.

    If I say, I want to believe there is not a loving God, the bible was written by men,there may be a designer, there may be a life force, I can find just as much evidence for that.

    What I find myself saying is I dont want to believe anything.

    I just want to know what is going on.

    That takes time.

    But between you and me and God I have a few problems with him right now that we havent worked out.

    I dont know if we are going to work it out.

    Because there two stubborn beings involved.

    And I know for sure one of them likes to get into pissing contest.
