Hi everyone. I’m new here.
I’ve been agnostic then atheist all of my life and I wish I believed in God.
I have several serious health problems and I feel like I would better be able to cope if I believed in God.
So many people on forum boards as well as in real life all have such strong faith and it seems to bring them such comfort.
I envy them but in no way do I agree with their beliefs.
Does anyone feel the same way or have suggestions on how I can get over feeling like this?
Thanks.
