I question what "motivates" me to want to know God exists. And this is certainly a factor. But it's not just my own death, it's the death of all life.

Therefore I know I have strong bias to believe in God. Having recognized that, I still can't get myself to believe that I don't know God exists.

I'm trying to be as honest to myself as I can. I realize that if I'm going to overcome bias, I have to have courage to face death of all life as a possibility. At the same time, I feel holding on to knowledge of God being a special type of spiritual knowledge, takes patience.
