While the above sounds simplistic, I believe that what I mean to say is that these discussions are all well and good.

But, when you find yourself on your deathbed, or in imminent danger of losing your life, or a loved ones life, will you be able to keep yourselves from crying out to a God, or any diety/higher power to be spared? Will your agnostic/athiestic beliefs hold up?

Thats what it all boils down to folks, a sense of comfort derived from belief in whatever "higher power" you choose to believe in.

I'm not judging anyone here. We all have free will to believe as we will.

I just have a really hard time believing we are all just a bunch of ants milling around with no purpose.

Something, call it light vs dark, good vs evil, whatever, something exists.

But thats just my opinion.
This is going to sound bad, but I've prayed to God during football games.
