Sure is. :] You know, I've started praying every night just before going to bed, myself. I do it to ask for the Lord's help, since I want both Dana and myself to be happy. Is it helping? Only time will tell. But I'm willing to believe that in those times where people say God has forsaken them, it's just because He's helping them out in ways they can't comprehend. Only through trial do we find the strength we need, right?
I'm part of the First Church of Arceus. For serious I'm an agnostic. I think there might be a god. But it seems illogical just to assume that when there is evidence to the contrary.

It's not that I think that there is a God and anyone who doesn't believe in Him will rot in hell omfg!!1 But it annoys me that I'm not even allowed to believe that in private without some busybody atheist probing me for answers. Maybe I don't need reasons?
God has done all sorts of cool things for me. Personally there's too much proof he exists, but I can't expect anyone to believe me when I say he sometimes does stuff for me that I ask him to. I don't go to church, but I can so relate to feeling better after praying.
Agreed. Obnoxious atheists are as annoying as obnoxious over-religious people.
It isn't faith that pisses me off, it's religion. Big difference. I'm agnostic, borderline atheist, but if one wants to believe in a god, so be it. I'm rather abrasive when it comes to my beliefs, or lack thereof. People mistake that for intolerance, but I'm far from intolerant. . . I just don't sugarcoat my opinions.
God's been awesome to me as well Even when I think that things have been fucked up, I always realise that even though God didn't do what I asked, he did what was obviously best in retrospect. I can understand disliking and distrusting religion, even I do sometimes. But what really bugs me is when people try and tell me that everything I believe in is insubstantial and that I'm just another weak human who needs some fanciful ideas to keep meaning in my life.
