Doubting Thomas
#16
RE: Doubting Thomas
I can't remember ever believing in any really significant way. What I do remember is sitting in church listening to a sermon and looking around at all the adults and wondering how they could believe the Bible story. I was in early elementary school a the time, and I knew the difference between stories told as factually believable and fairy tales/fantasy fiction not to mention the difference between fiction and history. Yet here were all these adults treating what was obviously much closer to the fantasy genre than to history as if it were undeniably true. I remember being puzzled and a little frightened by the thought.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
