Did you ever try to find a logical explanation before jumping to the "supernatural" conclusion?
My intent is that I wouldn't in that case. I guess I really don't know until it happens.
I've heard just about every logical explanation against there being a God there is since I joined this forum. My reasons from observing the natural world seem logical to me. I have a hard time accepting that the natural world, or what makes up the natural world, has always existed. I also cannot accept that the natural world created itself. God seems logical to me.

Jesus died for me, so I'm willing to do the same in return.

Countless christians have died in terrible ways rather than deny their faith.

As if I had needed a reminder why religious faith is so insanely dangerous.
Is there anything important enough for you to die for?
