Do you believe in God? I think religious people are generally happier than those who swear off the idea.
I don't necessarily think that there is a God, or believe many of the stories that the Bible tell, but I'm open to the idea of a greater force out there, somewhere.
I was at the Thibodeau's house tonight and they had two missionaries over for dinner. Afterward, as a polite gesture, one of the missionary boys read one of his favorite scriptures aloud. It was about happiness and how the world revolves around people learning to be happy from sorrowful experiences. Then they prayed, and I didn't join in. I just feel that maybe those who believe in God might feel like apart of something bigger, and therefore more comfortable and more happy.
Or maybe I'm just digging for excuses.
