I respect your view about uncertainty, Scott. I believe in god because I feel like my life is a spiritual experience and I'm connected to something larger, but I've never been one to accept a set of prescribed beliefs. I can only believe what I believe, and I can't believe what I don't know to be true, although I can remain open to the possibilities. To me, faith is something deeper and it usually isn't cultivated in churches that I'm aware of. Like I mentioned, I've known people who have cultivated faith through the 12-steps where they can turn their problems over to the will of god and live with acceptance. That's the kind of faith I want to cultivate.
