Evidence Verses Faith

[CoxRox]

Daystar, it is very interesting that you started off an atheist. I have been 'exposed' to religious influences all my life hence why I want there to be a God. My faith falters a lot mainly due to the problem of evil (there's been a particularly distressing story in the news the last few weeks regarding Baby P, who was tortured and killed by those who were meant to love and protect him). This sort of thing always makes me wonder how God could look on and not act. It is very difficult to comprehend, well actually we cannot comprehend this. Then of course there is the lack of supernatural evidence ie miracles, the Holy Spirit manifestations or rather the Spirit witnessing to one's spirit the certainty of God (it's meant to apparently, but not happened to me). If God is in His Heaven, then He doesn't like interreacting that much with His Creation, or so it seems. That's me. By the way, I too come from a JW background. I didn't become one but I studied with them when I was a teenager. I couldn't live the perfect life...........
