Thank you for being reasonable in on this thread.

I do have to disagree about not believing in God and being uncomfortable.

For example, the Middle Ages were a very tough time, especially compared to today. However, it was also an age of great faith, too.

Also, when early Christians were being persecuted, their persecution did not stop them from believing.

Middle Ages were difficult, true. Life under Communism was difficult too. Just two examples. A Catholic writer who lived under Communism, name unimportant, wrote in his diary that I read recently, that he would rather live under Communism in a happy marriage, than in a free country under an unhappy one. It is something I can understand. You can live in one of the most beautiful places in the world, as I do, and feel (for a good reason) to be the unhappiest man in the world. And conversely, you could live happily during the Middle Ages. And believe then. Or you can have a view of a wonder of the world outside your window now during this wonderful century, and doubt.
