It seems everyone has their own personal reason to believe in God or their own personal reason not to. It seems interpretation of the written word is the essence of religion regardless of your position or faith. I choose to believe, yet admittedly I am sinner. I was "saved" Sunday February 8th 1998 but I have sinned as recently as an hour ago. God I hope I make it to heaven.
