[quote=Anonymous]Even isolated communities develop some kind of "God" sense.  Of course, they don't use the same name or know the same stories.  But I believe our brains are hardwired to believe in God.  There have been studies on the human brain that have isolated that portion of the brain believed to be responsible for our spiritual beliefs.

I think it takes a conscience effort NOT to believe in God.  I'm not talking about religion.  I'm talking about the belief that we have a creator.  How is it difficult to understand?  A newborn has no idea who you are for the first several months.  He has no concept of life, of mommy, of daddy, of anything outside his limited world. Yet those things clearly exist.  The newborn couldn't prove it.  But he knows instinctively that he has a need to be loved and cared for.

Maybe we are like newborns....incapable of understanding God.  Maybe we are like microscopic organisms.  We know they exist.  I doubt they could prove we do.

I do know that we are spiritual beings temporarily inhabiting our human bodies.  I also know that my spirit desires a relationship with God.  My understanding of God is very different from my parents.  And truthfully, we are all probably wrong about the nature of God.  But I know without any doubt that God exists.  And that he hears my prayers.

I challenge those of you who have never truly experienced God.  Spend some very genuine time seeking God.  Spend time in quiet meditation and prayer.  Ask God to show himself to you during the next week.  I'm not talking about religion.  I'm talking about making a very real effort to connect with your creator.  Be open and be genuine. I'll bet if you are open, God will reveal himself to you in some way during the week.   Will you be brave enough to be open to the experience?

Please don't see this post as condescending.  It's not meant to be.  And you have nothing to lose by taking this challenge.[/quote]
