But I chose the easy way out, giving into the ease offered by absence rather than forcing myself to confront something new, and real. From my perspective, you avoided a relationship with those kids.
Interdependence is necessary for survival on all planes of existence.
I could go on and on with my personal tesitmonial of why God exists, why I do not require scientific explanations and why faith is so paradoxical and yet true. I could tell my entire life story of how faith has pushed me into situations in which I did not feel comfortable, and I came out a far better person for those experiences. If you wish me to tell you about these things, then e-mail me. I would suppose, however, that this site, a site devoted to a particular Christian denomination's expressions of faith, presumes at least an openness to God's existence, since the topical articles discuss our relationship to God. I don't see the purpose of having to go back over and over again to a proof of God's existence in order to have a discussion.
