Gorgo, I wish you could have what I have: Faith in God, founded on experience of His goodness and mercy.

Sadly for those who are filled with the Spirit of God, we are unable to pass that along to everyone. Some are simply too skeptical.

Evidence exists, but many refuse to be objective or even experimental, firmly deciding to oppose what they have not yet experienced or understood.

You hate the religious, but they do not hate you.

Ponder that...
