I am not able to see this statement the same way.


Ooh, ooh, ooh. I've got to reframe this a bit too...

I think people who don't believe in God don't RECOGNIZE their blessings. I believe wholeheartedly that what you guys call God blesses us, and believes in us, whether or not we believe in her/him. For me, to believe otherwise makes God sound like a Western Capitalist...you give me something and I'll give you something equal in exchange! My HIghwer Power gives to us regardless of our shortsighted and frequent lapses of belief.

I also know a lot of people who say they don't believe, but who ACT like true, loving, authentic believers. \Aamazingly their lives appear to be full of blessings.

Just another perspective for this lively thread.
