Wow. This happend to me too. That I started to question the existence of God that is. Well, atleast the whole rituality of christianity at large.

It amounts to a decision about what you want to believe. In the absence of physical, testable evidence and a compelling theory to tie it to reality, religion is a question that must be decided on faith. I simply don't have any.

Sometimes I hope there is no God.

For my part, I just don't care. I've found that the existence of a god or God has little impact on my life. I don't think I am built, psychologically, in such a way that I benefit from the constant awareness of a higher power, whose ultimate authority supercedes my own reason.

I don't have much faith in my own reason.

My mother probes me gently from time to time, which I try to deflect as gently as possible. In truth though, it is offensive.

Thanks for sharing, Mr. Lieber.

(although to be fair, the Smurfs really do exist.)

"The Smurfs cartoons also portray characters who are constantly using occult symbols. In one episode, Gargamel, the evil wizard, drew a pentagram on the floor and lit candles at each point. He then danced within the pentagram while chanting a spell. The pentagram is a five pointed star used in the practice of witchcraft. As Gargamel finished chanting the spell, a magical book opened across the room. A spirit left the book and entered Gargamel's body, giving him power to battle the Smurfs. What Gargamel did in that episode is what witches have done through the centuries. This is an actual witchcraft practice which millions of children watched. In another episode, Papa Smurf used cloves of garlic to counteract a spell that Gargamel had placed on the Smurfs and their friend."

I felt the same way.

I have to admit that part of my decision to abandon this project was influenced by the knowledge that she most likely would not even finish reading it.
