[quote] [b]NoJive said:[/b] I'm not trying to put words in your mouth but would you agree that your largely-Presbyterian view...while not answering all your questions does provide you a certain level of comfort? [/quote] I can't deny there is a 'security blanket' feel to religion. However, the way I see it, humanity is still a young race, and the universe around is quite dark and mysterious, not unlike our bedrooms when we are little. As we grow and explore, we find there is nothing to fear, but until we reach that maturity we use a little light to throw back the darkness. Until we, as a race, can look behind all the bookshelves and open all the closets of this existence, there will be unknowns, and we have a choice: believe in something greater than ourselves, or believe this is it. There's a certain logic to this, actually. If this life is all there is, and we believe in God, it won't make a lick of difference. If this life is all there is, and we don't believe in God, it still won't matter. If there is a life after this, and we don't believe in God, we become lost and/or damned. If there is a life after this, and we believe in God, we have access to Paradise. Do what you will, but I will err on the side of potential salvation, thanks very much. :) JMO. ~~~ Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. - Albert Einstein [img]http://www.danasoft.com/sig/AsylumScrawls.jpg[/img]
