Strange post? An atheist has no belief in God. Agnostics have doubts about knowing the existence of God or absolute truths. I do believe in God, and I do believe in absolute truths! Jim knows this about me, and I have freely shared the word "God" in other posts to him. What disturbed you about my post?

By the way, I guess I am a little agnostic also. While living, I do not believe we will ever come to know all of the absolute truths. I believe throughout life, God does guide us into knowing certain truths. The ones we came here to discover.

Learning is not always easy! Sometimes we must go through the sea of darkness in order to be enlightened; however, in my view, God only keeps us in despair and hopelessness, til we "give in" and accept the truth He is trying to teach us. Make any sense? Are you still disturbed by whay I wrote in the previos post? What is it? Jim never said he was an atheist! I didn't mean any harm to Jim by mentioning God. At times, everyone is a doubting Thomas (an agnostic!)
