I like that! But is the reverse true? As an atheist, I sometimes feel the need to convince people to at least open their minds or think about there not being a god. So what is my need for validation? To be right? Or hopefully, to get people to see the bigger picture and try to reverse all the damage over time, I personally believe, religion has done. This just got me thinking……
Mary I think it touches “belief”!differently than knowledge. Someone that has knowledge uses wisdom and with belief you have to hope. Xtians say they know, but they don’t, and they need a lot of positive input and validation to keep their faith.
