What doesn&#039;t feel right is the moral chaos our society is plunging into. People aren&#039;t courteous, they lack respect, many steal to make money or because they want it and somebody else has it.Some historians believe democracy will self-destruct. That may very well be considering what we&#039;re turning into.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;God doesn&#039;t tell us what He looks like. He does tell us to some extent what He believes. The Bible has been around quite a while, in spite of the people who have tried to destroy it. There are things I have questioned, but over a few years I have gained a better understanding. I do believe there is an "entity" that created everything. An awfully lot of it makes perfect sense to me. And yes, faith is an abandonment of reason.<br /><br />--- On Tue, 12/30/08, IntenseDebate Notifications &lt;notifications@intensedebatemail.com&gt; wrote:<br />&lt;/DIV&gt; Tue, 30 Dec 2008 17:53:06 +0000 http://change.gov/newsroom/entry/happy_holidays/#IDComment13298236 http://change.gov/newsroom/entry/happy_holidays/#IDComment13289202 There is a reason one has to choose to &quot;believe&quot; in God. We know gravity exists. That is a scientific law. How many times a day do most people think about gravity? If we could prove God existed we wouldn&#039;t think of Him any more than gravity. Belief in God requires a change in behavior. It&#039;s not an easy road. It is a choice. And, I might add, much of the Bible has been proven.
