how can one possibly make an informed decision on the truth of the matter when the matter is based on a faith to either follow or not to? faith, as already mentioned in this thread, does not follow the laws of logic - which requires an element of proven knowledge in order to come to a conclusion.
I do believe there is something far greater than ourselves that exists as a force or being in the universe. but with regards to what it's influence on us is in a physical sense, the form it takes or the powers it possesses, I really don't know. I think it would be naive to think that this planet is the only one to harbour the force of life. as we already know, microbes have been found on Mars. but we simply do not know if we are the most advanced form of life in our universe. likewise, we don't know if Earth holds essentially the most primative life.
so tell me, do you believe Maggy, or do you not? and more to the point, what are you basing that decision on? I would be very surprised if you can answer that without refering to terms such as 'belief', 'faith', 'feel' or 'think' as none of these are based on logic when the context is an internal emotion, which is essentially the driving force behind whether you follow God or not whole-heartedly. unless of course, you are agnostic... in which case, logic holds a higher presidence in you decision making.
