"I won't believe in heaven or hell
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well,
No pearly gates, no thorny crown,
You're always letting us humans down
The wars you've brought,
The babes you drown
Those lost at sea and never found
And it's the same the whole world 'round
The pain I see it just compounds
That father, son and holy ghost
Are just somebody's unholy hoax"

Dear God, by XTC

I just read an article on AOL about an Einstein letter debunking God. This handwritten piece sold for over 400,000 big ones. In response to said letter were a ton of ignorant and God-slashing responses, such as the one above.

Wow! It breaks my heart to hear such rubbish about our Creator and King. It is even sadder to know that there are so many confused people who see a relationship with God as a weakness. My life was filled with chaos and uncertainty, pain and sorrow, heartbreak and horror, prior to finding Jesus.

I am a woman with above average intelligence and many unique (very unique) life experiences. I've done, well, just about anything once, or have known someone who did what I never tried. I researched numerous religions and theories, but always knew deep down in my soul/heart/being, whatever you want to call it, there was something/someone bigger and more powerful than me.

If you're human, which I'm guessing you are, you simply cannot deny those nights when you gazed into the heavens and admired the universe. Trying to wrap my brain around the implications led to what I call "brain cramps." You know, that feeling you get when you know you are seeing something so much bigger than yourself.

I'm sorry evolution comes up short. Darwin himself made comments about its lack of evidence. Yet, we are so  quick to embrace "science." Consider all the times that scientific discoveries have later been re-discovered, thus disproving the first theory.

In all honesty, there is no way to disprove God. So with the knowledge that there is organisms and creatures in the deepest seas that we are not aware of, isn't it possible that a Creator of all these creations exists?

God didn't promise a pain-free exhistence on this planet. However, for His children, He promises a pain-less future in Heaven. For me, evidence of God's existence far outweighs the lack of. In Him I trust.
