I'm a very rational person, presently at least, and organized religion gets too strange for me at times. The more I try to understand it, the more I can't make sense of it.
Faith = belief and trust in God
Faith then presupposes the existence of God.
I have not found any evidential proof of the existence of God.
Yet I am told, by both Muslims and Christians, that God will reveal himself to me if I have faith.
Doesn't that mean God is a creation of our own minds? He doesn't come into existence until we believe in Him?
I used to believe that God was this guy sitting on a cloud controlling the world. Then I learned about the expanses of the universe and that image was washed away. Now I want to believe, but I just can't.
They say just believe, and the truth will be clear. But I just can't. When the truth is clear, I believe. :shakehead2: :(
