beliefs? 2/16/09

last night i was reading a chapter in the big book (the bible of AA) aimed directly at atheists, which i've always considered myself to be. the program talks a lot about surrendering to a higher power and "god as we know him". that topic i will discuss further down the road but something struck a chord with me that has me thinking about other "beliefs and facts"

if we can't see it, does it therefore not exist? if science can't prove it, does it therefore not exist? if that is true, are feelings, emotions, moods not real?

do i believe in the literal translation of the bible? no, not at this time. do i believe there is a power greater than me? absolutely.

let us not limit ourselves to believe what we can only see/touch. for if that were the case, we wouldn't know love.
