Seriously though, there is only only one truth concerning the existence of God. Either he is real, or he isn't. I like insurance, and I will be obedient, and continue to learn about God. If there are those that want to follow him, I will always point them in the direction to the best of my abilities. My wife is currently on assignment in Nigeria she's a Civil Engineer, and a week ago she became very sick (this of course happened just as she is about to come home in a few weeks from now), and I didn't know if she would have made it. She contracted malaria, and I cried, and didn't sleep for 2 days, because I knew that there was a good chance that you can die from it. So I prayed to God, and she came out of it while in the hospital. I believe that God is wonderful, and he was kind to us, and he has given us a little more time to be together before we inevitably die. It can happen at any time, but we were given an amazing gift from my perspective and hers.
I believe in believing in (God), because it is comforting, appears practical (whilst not abandoning common sense), and the Transcendent may be real. If nothing else, in death, finally, only one side will know it was right. 😉
