To find out what it really means to be a Christian requires some study of some very old books that require a bit a faith to believe. Yet, deep inside our hearts want to believe in something, a FSM or Jesus, something. I think we are all like little kids who want ice cream and mom says, "no, not till later." Very few are like "Okay, ice cream later is good." and most of us are whiners and tantrum throwers who want it now! Some are even going to divise away to get it now regardless of what mom says. I think a little prayer for some knowledge would be great for everyone. Prayer does not require you become a Christian by the way. "So if any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God who gives generously without finding fault, and he will give it to them." - James So God is generous without finding fault? It’s so much easier to believe in something you know isn’t real.
