Quote:I have found it, and point to the path I took to find it. the problem is that you do not seem to want to go down that path because of all that you think you will have to give up to get to the end.It would be nice if my faith was restored, as what I lost as a consequence of my lack of faith would be restored.
Following the path of reason was never going to be easy I realised, but I cannot lie to myself. If anyone tells me there's X at the other side of the maze and I can't see it for myself, then I can't accept it as truth. I just can't lie to myself.
Quote: God offers to give you direct instruction and reassurance personally if you only meet Him on His terms.And what is that? To just accept the 'golden statue' really is there?
