Tinker Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I remember a long, long time ago when I was questioning what I truly believed, it occurred to me that it was a lot better to believe in a loving God than in nothing at all. I chose to be loved. Atheism has never made sense to me, why choose "nothing" over "love"? And if I'm wrong, the worse thing that could happen is I lived in grace created by my own belief. If I'm right I get the bonus of heaven. It's a win/win. ~~Judi #62 Just in case I forgot to say it before, Merry Christmas. ~~jvg Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to post Share on other sites
