The more I see of those who follow gods, the less I believe in any gods at all.I think that the belief in gods is most likely an adaptation with evolutionary advantages like this, or this, or this. Alternately, it's an attempt by the collective human psyche to create a comforting fictional afterlife to buffer the realization of our certain mortality. -efm

Nas,
Thank you for sharing this very personal struggle. Don't be too tough on yourself. Reach out to others here for support.
Daryl

I have a condition called sleep apnea, it is severe, at my most recent sleep study, I stopped breathing 62 times in about 5 hours. while dreaming, I see and speak to friends, family, and strangers,who have passed on, for brief moments, the last time this happened, I saw an angel, watching me going back into my body, he smiled at me, and I knodded at him as I passed him. I have seen one friend many times, the last time, he was with some friends, whom I have never met or known, he was leading them into a small house, which I assume, is where he now lives, he picked up his cat, and they were heading into the house, when his friend saw me materializing, and he said," Bob, their's an outside entity out here" to which Bob replied " well leave the outside entity outside, and come in the house" I believe in God, I have NO DOUBTS ABOUT IT! This is only one of many such [visits to the afterlife] dreams.

I believe in God. My father died and then he lived for another 17 years. I felt God's pesence pass through me before he woke up from his brain death. I have trouble with God's Mercy just like Johah, but at least I don't runaway any more.

I believe in God. He has heard my cries and seen my every tear in the dead of the night when no one else is about. He has kept the strong and powerful from sending my children to live with their abuser. He gave us a peaceful Christmas this year when my son asked him - the first in 6 years from my sons, and the first in 10 years for me! I am still here today because God cares. He is real and He answers prayers.
