opposite. I have a very meaningful and full life. I find confort in the knowledge that God has a plan for me, and it's spelled out very plainly. See John 3:16 for reference.

Mind if I don't? I'm fed up with scriptures. Even more so when I am expected to take it literally .

I think God has an even queerer sense of humor as found in atheists and agnostics who contend that their own little universe of "self" is impregnable, completely self-centered, self-supported and logical.

Well, believing is not knowing, and trust is not blind belief, but grows from empirical experiences of the past. anyhow, I was just unsure were to put you: to the group of reasonable rationalists admitting that there is also a spiritual dimension in existence, or to the group of those who belief something unproven and want to raise it's prestige by labelling it a reasonable method like to be found in sciences. Now that I know about you, i see that it is pointless to continue the communication, for you prefer to just believe and make yourself unavailable for any argument by that - belief beats any argument, any logic, any empirical experience, any reason anytime - while me refuses to see such a position as an equal to reason, logic, empiry, experience - even true spirituality (which has nothing to do with mysticism and literal believing).

Take care,
