Re: theophobia
Even I before I became a believer would simply have taken all the above as a perfectly human and honest expression. Since I became a believer, something in me fairly screams, DON'T YOU KNOW THAT A BEING THAT HAS SUCH FEELINGS COULDN'T POSSIBLY HAVE COME TO EXIST BY PURELY BIOCHEMICAL PROCESSES? DON'T YOU KNOW THAT THE VERY EXISTENCE OF SUCH FEELINGS PROVES THAT THERE IS A GOD WHO MADE YOU AND THAT HE IS A GOOD GOD? But I guess not. As I said, before I was a believer, I could just have shrugged and said, Well, yeah, me too, and here we are, and all of it is for nothing, so make whatever you can of it. But if you don't succeed at making anything of it, no real loss
its funny faith, because all those feelings and such that "proves" god are purely biochemical processes! what does that tell you? that there is something to relate them?
