It is the goal of the Human Ego to convince us that there is no God. Let's face it, human beings are the most self absorbed creatures on the planet. Who are we to even question the existance of God. I mean, if there is a God and you believe, GREAT! If there is no God and you believe GREAT! I mean, live your life trying to do for others and to be of service to the human race, practice kindness and love, be non-judgemental....what is wrong with that. Yaddah, yaddah, blah, blah, we all know that thousands of people have died in the name of religion. Let's get this straight. Religion is NOT God. Religion is people and people are imperfect. God is perfect. If there is a God and you don't believe are you going to burn in hell? If you are a parent you will know the answer to this question. I am a father of two young men and I can not think of anything that that they could do, however heinious, that I could not forgive them. Religion is for people who are afraid of going to Hell. Spirituality is for those who have already been there. The open-minded see the truth in different things: the narrow-minded see only the differences. Have a great day and thank you for listening. :-)
