Well, at least I think i'm not. lol I don't carry this on my shoulders every day, it's not something that is in the forefront of my mind every day. But, it's been creeping back in here and there, and I don't want to rug sweep it anymore, because I want to be authentic with my thoughts and emotions. I want them to 'agree.' I will come back later to reply to your posts, have to run some errands right now.
They may never agree..regardless of whether or not you count yourself among the believing. I've never met a person, personally, in all of my life...and I've never seen a person on these boards....and I've never even heard of a -story- of a person who...by believing, brought accord between those two. We believe, and still feel conflicted. We do not believe, and still feel conflicted. We -disbelieve-....and still feel conflicted.
