Double Edged, what difference do you think it makes in a person's life whether one believes in God or not?
Well, looking at it logically (for argument's sake) there can only be one of two answers:If there is no GOD then it makes no difference.If there IS a GOD...the difference is hugh.... the belief (or better yet the faith) to tap into the real "source", "energy", "power", "majesty", (whatever you want to call it ) to search out, find and fulfill your potential while on this Earth....like they say - "Life's A Journey" (and most of us are lost with an unopened map).In any event, the more I read this board the more I realize that each of us are the sum of our experiences. We "picture" God because of our experiences (or lack of) with Him. As for me someone's belief that GOD has "left us to fend for ourselves" is so foreign to me when my one-on-One experiences tell me otherwise. That's why I find this board so interesting...it's like looking at life through someone elses eyes.
