Yes, even all of the bad things that happen in the world haven't shaken my faith.  I talk to Him regularly and I believe He is the only thing that I have that is consistent and who loves me even when I'm not lovable.  I think everyone has a right to their own beliefs but as for me, I believe.
As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.

That goes double for me.

I believe that there is a force in the universe, that is stronger & superior than all other "worldly" forces that some people like to call as "god". However, I have believed in God ever since I was a kid when I visited the temples regularly.

Do I believe in god? No I do not. How could something have complete control over who lives or who dies? How could this "entity" kill newborn babies to "test" you? Doesn't make sense to me. If God is real I myself would not bow down to someone or something like that.

I'm actually reading a book currently that anyone searching for a knowledge of a God (or that just enjoys travel memoirs) may be interested in. It's 'Eat Pray Love' by Elizabeth Gilbert. It's opened my eyes to some spiritual issues that I never even realized existed within me.

I loved reading this book!  I was raised in a very ecumenical, charismatic environment. I've studied theology in college and grad school. I love religion and studying different world religions.  I do believe in God; I do not however believe that there is a religion that has the one up on any other, when it comes to access to God or accuracy about God.
