Yeah John my uncle used to say the same thing... "you have nothing to lose by believing"

That's not exactly true though. If by believing you are walking the walk, it means you are giving up an hour of your life every Sunday to go to mass, you are supposedly avoiding things that make you a "bad" person, like wanting sex every minute of the day. However, if we were famous rock stars, that would be a very hard thing to give up, it's very easy to not sleep with hundreds of women.... lol

I always wondered why sex addiction is a problem, if only I could get enough women to have sex with me to HAVE an addiction.

However, if like most of us, we say we believe but dont change much, then yeah, we have nothing to lose.

What if we say God, look its very hard to believe in you, and im doing this out of fear, and not faith, but please if up there, spare me...

Its too simplistic to think of it in those terms, those are relationship terms we are assigning to God.

God is not a person. Unless he is the president of another planet somewhere, and Earth is his experiment.

Nothing is really out of the realm of possibility
