[quote:Don'tBeAfraid:MV8yMTE5ODU4XzM1NzY2MjQ5XzhGQjhBODhG] [quote:Anonymous Coward 33001581:MV8yMTE5ODU4XzM1NzYxOTQ5XzFFM0E3RkQ3] god to me is simply the source.. of all that is. [/quote] It's entirely possible. That's classic theology from Paul Tillich. That God is the Ground of our Being. God is the Source from which all Life flows. But, if God is the Source, then would we not acknowledge God in a manner in which we denote something that is magnificent and hence use a capital G. For example one can say a truth, or what can look for Truth. In the same way, a deity in a story or myth can be denoted by a god, but the God that is the Source is different. See my thread on prepping in the first link which is really about the search for the Source as found in examining Nature as the Source's creation. [/quote]

I'm considering god, but need a rational reason to actually believe. I would never take blind faith, as you could end up in any religion just dependant on the influence around you.
Anyway, I'm searching, but need a rational way to decide.
