As a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I am afraid that i have missunderstood your statement of beliefs page, or have you misunderstood the Bible. Dear friends are you trying to say that being atheist or agnostic is fine as long as you go to church? I most certainly hope not! Concerned?! Shaun† Mark 16:16

Thank you. I have long attempted to understand the true meaning of prayer, with little success. I have shared many of the experiences you described in your "prayer of an agnostic". As a recently retired Professor of Botany, I especially relate to your brief description of the beauty of nature.

Very nice commentary..I read it all. With all the evidence of a Supreme Creator, and loving provider, I'm amazed that agnostics as yourself fail to make the connection to what others understand as God. I too believe in science and our human abilities to understand our Universe. I too have had my times of questioning a Supreme Being, but in the end with the vastness and beauty and power of the Universe, I am humbled. Our minds are so powerful that we become tricked into believing we can actually know the truth of all we see. We all really seek where we came from, but we all do it in different ways. God Love You and may you understand even more the true nature of his love and creation. (Nice Web Site).
