Is there a God?  Christians believe there is.  Atheist do not. I was raised a catholic and I prayed to God my whole life. I didn't know any other way to be.  Now an adult, able to choose for myself, I read about all the different ideas of where we came from and if there is a God,  and I simply become uneasy about it all.  I guess no one really knows for sure, but I can say from just experience, I still believe in a higher power.  Some say aliens are who put us here.  If that is so, where did the Aliens come from?  So many how's and why's. I guess it helps some people to have something to believe in.  If you believe in nothing, then maybe you are nothing.  So if your nothing why are you here? Why are we here? Where do we go when we leave earth?  Faith is sometimes all a person has left in their life and it can be the strongest promise a person can have. The fear of God is in so many of us, why is it considered a fear?  I know when I pray, I do get emotional inside and I feel better after I thank God for everything I have.  I'm not rich, I'm not poor, I wish I had more, like most of us do, but knowing I'm healthy and alive makes me grateful. I have to say that I'm not apposed to all ideas, but I still pray to God every night before I close my eyes.
