I guess I, like everyone else wants, or needs, to believe in God it it’s many and varied manifestations for no other reason than one does not want, nor can one accept, that when they die it is over. That everything about their life and existence in only viable in the memory of others.
Probably the most troubling and frightening thing is that they, the person thinking these thoughts, in nothing; wormfood: that they cease to exist on any plane of existence whatsoever.
This, God! Ultimately, this is mankind’s desire/need for God. There is the absolute necessity that this is not it; that death is not an end. If most people had to face that as the only reality; the best reaction would be insanity in most cases. Let us face it. Without a promise of an afterlife, of which we will be held accountable to, our actions would be far different than they are: and NOT for the better.
Now to why I personally believe in God. Because Sandy believed in God with all of her heart. I cannot and will not support any premise that differs with that belief.
Additionally, if God exists: he will find a place by his side for her as she earned it every day of her life. I have to believe in God for no other reason than I believe in Sandy and I cannot imagine the universe without her. So God exists so that Sandy will continue to exist. If that be sacrilegious, so be it.
On a personal note: I definitely have not earned any points to allow me to go to Heaven. I guess I can live with that. But, I hop that God’s magnanimity is good enough for me to see Sandy once afain, even in passing!
