Is there another motivation for christian belief?

[RobertE]

Just for you Drich and why I could never believe in a God, no matter how much I prayed at the time. This happens once every 3-4 years, then when it happens, it wakes me up automatically around 2:00am every morning for 3 months because it is linked with the circadian rythym. There is medication for it which are Triptans (injectable) or if you wish, oxygen from a tank. Either way, it has never stopped me going to work, it has never stopped me leaving work early (yes, it happens at least 2-3 times per day.) And you think I don't like the answer that your God gave me? As people, we were led to believe in praying for miracles. I tried that and it doesn't work, I still suffer so, what is the point? I am, just like many millions are living proof that praying for miracles just doesn't happen. It is about time that the religious took off their blinkers and looked at the real world, to see the suffering. Not just those who are terminally ill or suffer from serious illnesses, but those who live in poverty, who don't even have proper hygiene facilities, yet they look up to people like you who do NOT give a damn about those people as long as you are alright and taken care of. The church/synagogue/mosque or temple is simply a place for people who have the attitude of "sod you Jack, I'm alright."
