[MD] Confirming the existence of God?

[markhsmit]

Hi Mary,

In my opinion, all that questioning is the brain entertaining
itself.  It is fun, but of no significance.  Sure as a scientist I
question everything that I choose to.  But there is much more
than that.  We are more than our thoughts.  That is just a 
small part of it.  

I do not think there is controversy, just an expression of
beliefs.  I am more than willing to be convinced of things,
but I have heard all the arguments posed concerning
belief, before.  It doesn't work for me.   

I question the reality of things as our convention
through education and inculcation provides them.
I would challenge you to do the same.  For you to
realize that everything you believe in is just that,
and nothing absolute would open doors.

Hello Mark,

I believe in pushing the envelope. Pushing and pushing. That is where
answers start. That means questioning every motivation and every thought.
Every single one! Observe them. Examine them. Question them. Force them
to reveal themselves for what they are. Be willing to take the lumps. We
all have them. I certainly do. It's ok. 

That we disagree is not important. What is important is WHY. If you will
agree to think about that, so shall I. The controversy does not center
around that one of us believes in God and one doesn't. That is not
important. Not in the slightest.

The unexamined life is not worth living. I challenge you to examine
everything and then examine that.

Dig! Then dig some more! :)

The lady with the shovel,
Mary
