My ex-wife had a miscarriage. Multiple miscarriages, actually. It hurt, for both of us. I identified as Christian at the time, but couldn't understand how a loving/compassionate/benevolent God could allow that to happen. Also, prayer offered no comfort. That's when I made a deal with any supernatural being out there: prove your existance to me and I'll dedicate my life to you. Until then, I live as though there's nothing supernatural out there. So far, no god has stepped up which leads me to believe that even if God exists, God wants me to be an atheist (and who am I to question God?).
I live on facebook. Come see me there. http://www.facebook.com/tara.rizzatto
