No insult intended! All I meant is that they, their spirits, are alive. I did not know any of them personally, all I know is what somebody else wrote about them, yet I believe they lived on this earth at some time. Hey, I even believe that Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan and Tutankhamun are real, yet there's more proof of Jesus' life and claim to be God than there is of any of them! You believe in what someone writes about any of these people, why is it so difficult to believe what somebody writes about God?

I do not accept that a god would allow the Holocaust, the Rwandan genocide, the tsumanis’ body count, etc. etc. unless he is either helpless, incompetent, depraved or non-existent.
At least I am humble enough to confess that I do not understand God. You do not understand Him, so you choose to deny His existence. Is that supposed to make any sense? Is that rational and intellectually honest? By that standard, do you "believe" in atoms? I must confess that I had an awful time with quantum mechanics, so maybe I shouldn't believe!

Now, if you ARE rational and intellectually honest, I will keep on praying for you. Seek the Lord and He will reveal Himself to you (just don't demand a visitation).

Quantum mechanics are the Devil’s business! Just kidding.

My financial planner is one of the best in the business. She’s absolutely amazing and she’s a die-hard evangelical Christian. However she doesn’t attribute blips in the market to acts of God, just as I wouldn’t ascribe “spooky action at a distance” to the supernatural either. Some things we haven’t been able to explain...yet.

I saw a ghost once. Another person was with me and saw it too. It was pretty bizarre but it is explainable even if we don’t have the knowledge to explain it yet.

Regarding God - with no visitation, no communication and no action, I’m opting out. Don’t feel sorry for me.
