FINDING FAITH...

"As a Christian, I expect suffering, trouble and difficulties. This does not mean that God does not love me and want the best for me, he does"-arsindelve. My next instinct was to hit up different religious blog websites to see what those devoted to the cause had to say. The quote above is taken from a blogger self titled Arsindelve formely struggeling with the concept of a non-visually active Lord and savior. As i myself have often done. He/she used to wonder, if there is a god why hasnt this all knowning protector shown any sign of existance. No physical proof. No picture. Not even a glimpse. Now they are convinced that he/she exists. They didnt find any proof. They only created the hope in their mind and built a God off of there own hope and prayer.

As this search continues i still am having trouble being unbiest due to the fact that i am an athiest. I find it hard to give in to anything thats bein said to defend the hand of God. Everywhere i turn the same answer is bein givin with no hard fact. These people all have the same answer and its partially becuase their not willing to except the possibility that there might not be a magical palace with 75 virgins awaiting them with white fluffy clouds and angels surrounding a eutopia in which they eternely live and breathe. Its also partially becuase its what they've been told all their lives. They are stubborn and wont hear any different. I just dont see how a person can kick back and expect a God who lets hundred year wars get carried out in his name to care about there petty problems. Hopefully i will find some way in future posts to be more believing.

Good point Matt, I for one am agnostic meaning I believe in a higher being, but there is no proof of his existence I have no faith or disbelief in god. But the Catholic religion has been pushed, nay shoved on me for all my life. It's nothing that can be proven, that's just my opinion.
