As he lives there I know I can bear anyting. Call it what you will but I know that. This can also be said about a person one loves dearly like a spouse. Her you can touch. (I forgot are you male? ) Her at your side with all the love you feel you can accomplish anything if she believes in you. But humans can fail you becasue they are weak. Whereas with Christ as your spouse he will never fail you.[/quote] Believe me when I say it is possible to bear anything without the crutch of Belief in a Greater Power. Try Belief in yourself sometime. Works wonders for me. The incredible sense of freedom in knowing that you, yourself, are responsible for your actions and your life. You decide what type of person you want to be. Once out of the box of Religion and Belief in some Greater Thing, it is impossible to squeeze oneself back in. Of course, it is also alot of work - a daily one, to be honest. But anything worthwhile is alot of work. For the record, I am male. [quote]How can a belief in a good higher being ever be a bad thing unless it comes in the form of a cult that professes the opposite of what really God is. And they use persons or things for the purpose of opposing God.[/quote] History has countless examples of how it can be a bad thing (we can start with the Spanish Inquisition by the Catholic Church, if you want - or how about the Witchhunts of Germany, also sanctioned by the Catholic Church for a time). Basically, it is as DL has said [quote]when that "higher being" does not exist, and when countless numbers of people who stake their lives on that belief continually try to erode other people's freedoms in the name of that belief[/quote] You will also notice that there are other Believers who are members of this forum, who for one or the other reason do not actively attempt to force their Beliefs on others. They have made this decision for their own reasons - but it is something that is respected by all, even if some of us do not agree with their Beliefs. I believe that they provide shining examples of their Faith by doing so.
