Have you ever thought to yourself....?

i love your question because i have always always thought this way. ever since i was little i never understood how people could truly believe in something that they have never seen or known. i understand that religion is "all about" faith but still. if i raise my child to believe in the golden cow and to have faith--my kid will probably grow up to believe in the golden cow. so my point was and still is "i refuse to believe in something because my parents and my teachers told me too" i will believe in what i feel, what i see and what i know. when i was 10 i cried in frustration to my mother about this-she told me i was foolish for not believing in jesus--i told her she was foolish for believing something she has never experienced. well this is my conclusion: i believe that there is a god...i feel his presense--this is something that i know. i dont believe in the bible, jesus or all the other "characters". i am here-i exist-i came from somewhere and that is the mystery...that is my god. i am extremely happy in the faith i have and am happy to say i have felt, seen and known in god :-) hope i answered your question..and im happy to know other people see things the same way as i do
