It's all so individual. In 1966 I would have shot anyone telling me there was a God that would allow what I had witnessed. Therefore there was no God. In my unit there were some who believed and others who believed in the law of fire superiority - I was a member of the latter. So as I said earlier the no atheists in trenches isn't a very good truth for me. I still struggle with it. But I sure as hell am not going to perpetuate my truth on someone else.

Sharon is right on for me - God is whatever or whomever one has created to be at peace with one's beliefs. If that be aetheism - good enough for me. It does come from within - even if it is sucked from an outside source to the inside space.

Like Blackcatter implies - if it takes getting shot at to make you a believer - sorry that don't cut it - how strong was your faith to begin with.

It's like today in America after the attack - "God bless Amnerica" is everywhere - where was it before? And where were the flags before? Just $19.95 + S&H will make you a true blue patriot. Just my opinion -
