The God that I believe in is, by definition, vast, (infinitely so, more vast than the entire Universe), unfathomable, mysterious, and beyond human understanding. That doesn’t stop me from trying to understand more, however. Also, the God that I believe in allows and even welcomes questions, doubts, uncertainty, frustration, and discouragement, and above all, honesty. Seek, and ye shall find. Cheers!

I recently read a 43t’ers comment on “being a better atheist”. It lead to a website that brought up all these myths and has had my brain in overdrive questioning my faith. And recently I’ve been trying so hard to be faithful and trusting, so it was a blow to the progress.

But, I certainly appreciate the insight and the encouragement!

Have a blessed day!!!

Had you seen the news stories about Mother Theresa questioning her faith? I actually took this as a positive sign: We ALL question God, even Mother Theresa! Still, she kept up her work and became a symbol to the world of the beauty of humanity. She didn’t give up trying to understand. Isn’t that amazing?

I’m actually agnostic (believe in a higher power, but don’t follow a specific religion) and was raised this way. At first, I felt outside the loop, like I should have a religion and belong to a group. But now, I see that each person expresses what God is when they follow their heart. There are millions of ways to express beauty, truth, peace, love…just look at nature, look at humanity, look at the beautiful hopeful things inthe world that have been created and maintained over the years. It’s really there, in everything. Even in your doubt b/c that will lead you to greater understanding. (Know what I mean?)
