Ok, so here's the thing I've never understood about believers: if you are willing to stretch your mind into believing in miracles, that there is an omnipotent god, that the earth is about 6000 years old etc etc, why can't you for everyone's sake convince yourself that your brilliant god came up with IVF, to answer the prayers of childless women and so forth? (I know that there are some who do, and even though it's annoying, it is at least better than the alternative, I think..)
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
