Here is problem here. Everyone is taking the bible and readking it and understanding it word for word exactly. From this you take a side. Either Science or that of Faith. The truth is that both sides are wrong. have been brought up to beleive in God but in a more modern idealistic way. Yourn ot supposed to take the bible word for word. Thats not what is was meant to be. The truth is the bible is to be taken as a read between the lines. Get something out of the story. Take the story of creation. This isn't meant to be taken literally. This just is a lesson. Man is supposed to learn something from it. The story's in the bible or a large quantity of them are inflated to teach man a valuble lesson. Usually of love for one naother etc etc. Taking this faith to literally can cuase fanatical behavior or cuase the opposite of atheism. People nowadays seem to not know chow to take the bible. For one part though I don't apprciate fanatics preaching their lies and small mindedness, but on the other hand I don't like seeing an atheist take what I have beleived in my whole life and calling it a bunch of bull shit. Telling me my life was a lie and everything I ever beleived in is incorrect seems to frustrate. How do I think of God" well. this God is somethiing to big for us to picture. I also beleive it isn't the same loving being we all think it to be. I just beleive it is something greater that we can not understand. Beleiving this greatness does not exist means their are things in your life that will not be answered.
The fact is, after 18 years of life.. I have learned one thing

"Their is a God... And I ain't him." 'Fromthe movie Rudy '

Im neither fanatic nor atheist, Only that I am what I beleive.
