>There is a very big distinction between 'knowing' it and 'believing' it.
True, I can't disagree with that. I am too much of a natural skeptic myself to not admit that I have constant doubts about God and struggle with my faith on a pretty regular basis. Heck, if someone like Mother Theresa admits to doubts, I certainly wouldn't claim to be more holy than she! I do believe though that those that seek personal knowledge of God and ask him for it faithfully will find that personal truth, and that is what I have experienced. It's easy enough to explain away of course, saying people have religious faith *because* it makes them feel safer and better and they want to believe there is something after death, and any experience of God is all in their head. If someone is determined to not believe in God, they will never have a problem finding a logical reason for that position. --- Mary Jo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
