And yet, I feel more connected to God than ever. My fiance is not a believer in the true sense of the word..as a matter of fact, I'm not even sure he believes in a higher being. But, he is a truly good man. It was difficult for me at first to accept his nonbeliefs, but the more I get to know him, the more I love and respect his views. I think you are a funny person, honest and to the point. As a believer but TRULY not "holier than thou" woman, I find your honest refreshing. Yes, there is a lot of hipccrisy among believers and nonbelievers alike...too many people trying to be what they're not... Thanks for sharing..!!!

I love the comments from christians in your post. Ha. The religious and even the mildly religious spread their thoughts around like Wilt Chamberlin's semen. BUT still you say one tiny post and it gets people's interest. Thanks for posting. Hi, back from SITS…

Here from SITS - I think you are very moxie for your post - ironic, though, I am a Christian and I can tell you that I feel persecuted sometimes for being one! It's not hip, I guess, to have a relationship with God, but I don't know what I'd do without Him. No, I cannot 'see' him, but I know he's there - it's kind of like air. Mox p.s. Anyone who claims to be a Christian and gives you guff is a hypocrite and has a lot more 'reading up' to do on what it means to be one! Hi!

It must be hard to have a different view from so many Americans (although it's quite popular in some places in Europe). As long as you stay true to yourself, no friend should find fault in that.

From reading the comments, it sounds like there are many out here just like you. I enjoyed reading about your perspective-it is not mine, which made it all the more interesting to read. I would never have thought that it was so difficult to be an athiest, or that people really cared. While I am deeply religious, I prefer to judge people based on the life that they live, not the God(s) that they may or may not believe in. :0) Great post!

I actually studied Religion in college (all religions, but my focus was Judaism). And let me tell you, one of the greatest things that my studies taught me was tolerance - an ironically, a huge dislike (dare I say hate?) of intolerance and people who say they believe something, but then can't back it (ie - Christians who nothing about Christ). So, although we disagree with our belief in God, I must say that it is very refreshing to hear someone with a different belief who is still very respectful and has very logical reasoning to back up their opinions.

This is a lovely & well written piece, about a difficult subject. I appreciate your honesty in "coming out." While I do believe in God, I do not necessarily believe in a specific God, as defined by an organized religion. It's always interesting to read the views of others, with an open mind & to study the multitude of belief systems that are out there. I started out Catholic & decided, at a young age, that this was not the religion for me. I would say, that like you, I am an agnostic & that I lean towards a non-defined type of Christianity. I am glad to see that there are no truly negative comments here. It seems that we could all be friends, no matter what our individual beliefs are & that's as it should be. Congrats (a little late) on your SITS feature! Stopping by SITS to say hi!
