I have tried to embrace atheism, but then I look up to the sky, see a newborn baby, feel the love of another human, see pictures from the Hubble telescope, read writings of the intelligent people over the ages (not Mark Twain nor Katherine Hepburn)and I just cannot muster up enough faith to believe that all this “just happened”.....one day there was nothing......nothing.....and the next day we have everything known to man.......you may be able to accept that, I’ll keep going to Mass just in case there is a God.....(I’ll bet I win!!)

Good for you. Sometimes I envy the peace and certitude of true believers.

For me, life is a journey, a journey I know I will never complete.
