I also believe that if there is a God that he/she is not very nice for letting all the bad stuff happen in the world. could these occurances happen due to nature? i believe that sometimes God may have a hand in these things to get our attention to be better ppl to mankind. we often stray from caring enough for others cause we get caught up in our own life stuffI also wonder if the reason I have no faith and can't even imagine believi ng in a God is because of the things I have been though. I just can't believe no matter how hard I try. that's ok too cause you're searching for your own truth. The whole religious thing to me just seems not logical. you're correct in the truest sense. i call it a "leap of faith" when we believe in a higher power.
I just wonder if anyone else has experienced this and if you think it may have to be partially due to your diagnosis.

i'm not sure if my dx would affect me this way. but i had to search for a God of my understanding. i feel my religious training helped lay the foundation but the most of it was from my searching for truth and how i perceived my God.
enjoy your relationship and miracles may happen when you least expect them. you're not "less than" for feeling the way you do. many search. if you see a T he may be able to enlighten you one way or the other about why you feel the way you do.
