Checking Out Blogger Buddy

I just downloaded this gadget called Blogger Buddy for my Vista Sidebar and I'm writing this to see if it really does what it's supposed to do. I have a really hard time blogging because I forget to make entries. It's not that I don't have things to say, I just forget to write them down. So if this little gadget can help me get into the habit of blogging it's a great thing!

I believe in God.

Beyond a shadow of a doubt. It seems to me that most people don't believe in Him. I can't understand why people don't believe. I think there is evidence of his presence everywhere I look.

I spent most of my childhood being afraid that God didn't exist and being spooked by the idea that he did. I think most kids are spooked by the idea that someone watches over us. Santa's bad enough, but God too? As kids we don't know if God is a good guy or a bad guy. We're confused by people who tell us that God is good, but then they tell us he does bad things like killing people.

I find that even the clergy people today don't believe. They pay lip service, but you can tell by their behavior that they don't really believe. Do you think that someone who abuses children believes in God? I sure don't. Or the church that allows them to continue? Not a chance. You can't behave like that if you believe in God. It just isn't possible.
