Yo, you're back Daystar! .
Hi Lukec- you made an interesting point:
'I have difficulty believing in anything at all if there is no evidence- and I speak here of scientific evidence, of provable/disprovable things. I don't feel that I necessarily stick to a cultual or social position. I just try to be a good person, based on my own morals and ethics, which I assume are ingrained in me by society, and my parents.'
I agree with a lot of your above statement. I struggle to believe in things I can't see and interestingly, as you are reading the Bible I will mention a verse (which I can't remember where it is but I can find it if needed) where someone says word to the effect that if you are true to what you believe, then this will be your measuring stick (with God). If you don't know something you can hardly be blamed for not knowing. If you can't see 'proof' because you think in a scientific way etc, then again, the onus is on 'God' to give you proof that you would understand and accept. That's what I think anyway.
Daystar- hope you don't mind me throwing in my two pennoth worth.
