There's nothing sad in what I do or don't believe, only your perceived consequences for my lack of belief. Those consequences are simply not there for me. I don't have the fear of hell, nor do I have the desire to be with God.

I think lots of people are scared of their doubts. I have questions about God. Some of these questions you probably have too. We just came to a different conclusion.<br /><br />The water into alcohol thing I think is just silly. I can imagine God thinking,..

I've had an experiment running for over six months now where I'm seeing if God can turn my ordinary bottle of water into alcohol. If I filled up a bottle with water then it turned into alcohol, I'd convert to believe in a higher power.<br /><br />And that is one example of what I am actively doing now.

So I could not say that "it works for them". Maybe you know of some, I do not.<br /><br />2. Now, as for trusting God holding no validity. God has saved me from drug addiction. This is very real and practical. I know many different people who this has happened for.

It's not some innate knowledge given to us, it's learned knowledge over time.
