Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Contemplating the existence of God: 14 of 174
I wonder why people who do not know who God is - write or talk about God? What has science to do with the existence of God? Isn't science in business to deal with physical matter?

Death: The ultimate fearI intend to live forever. So far, so good. ~Steven WrightWhen love is not, there is fear. Fear is lack of acceptance and appreciation of how things are.
