I'm not a religious person. I never have been. My parents were not religious, nor were even my Grandparents (the living ones anyway.) However by family tradition we might be described as Roman Catholic. My parents were baptized and confirmed. My sister and I were baptized but never confirmed.
I like to hear what the Pope has to say but I don't believe he has any more insight into God than anyone else.
I know I do not believe in the God described in the Bible. Neither Old Testament nor New. But I do believe there is likely something more to our existence than currently explained by science. I believe in some kind of soul, something that continues on after the death of the body. Why? What is the evidence? It just feels right. Ghost stories, deja-vu feelings, children recalling past lives... there is something.
I can't prove it, it likely can't be proved- but the honest truth is just because something can't be proven doesn't mean it isn't real- there is at least the possibility of an afterlife. There is also possibility of a "creator" or a being we might describe as God even if he didn't create the world in 6 days.
What I see more and more are people, usually those claiming to be scientists, trying to force their belief that there is no God. Why is it so important to these people that other people don't believe in God? I suspect individually the anti-God crowd thinks they're doing a public service. They think they're teaching people the truth by attempting to disprove God.
I submit many of these individuals have become patsys in a larger, more nefarious plot. We are probably within a generation now of basically declaring God illegal. It will be considered a Hate Crime to pray in public.
What will be accomplished with the death of God?
I submit the idea of separate of Church and State has been extended to be a separation of God and State. However a separate of God and State wad never intended by the founders, nor should it be considered by our courts. But hat is what this country is moving towards.
What many fighting against the concept of God forget though is that our entire system of government, especially rights guaranteed in our Constitution and Bill of Rights are rights considered to be given by God, that no man should be able to take away. Without God there is no higher power to grant us the rights we take for granted.
Without God our rights are merely granted by other men (and women) and there is no compelling reason they can't be changed- or revoked.
I submit there is a coordinated and intentional attack on God as an ultimate means to destroy the United States and the freedoms it stood for.
You cannot separate America from God. You can keep Church and State separate but you can not and should not attempt to separate God and State.
