: Remember when Bethany said "I think that God is dead."? How many of you feel the same way, and why? I myself am an Atheist. Its hard for me to believe in a god when so many countries and cultures have a thousand different ways of believing in god. How do you pick? But thats my opinion. Scott Mosiers an Agnostic and Kevin seems to be just a plain ol' Catholic. Where do you stand?

I beleive in a higher power, but more of the Ward Cleaver variety. You know, I screw up, he puts his arm around me and eplains how I screwed up and how much it dissapointed him, and forgives me.
Although I always thought it was odd how you could murder, steal, rape, abuse your entire life, and then ask forgiveness on your deathbed to enter heaven...
Maybe as a human I cannot comprehend his/her will and my mindless pontification does not matter... but I do it anyway, and always come up conflicted.
