Wish I'd said that - April 12, 2020

“‘Of course there might be a God. I just don’t know.’ You are either living as though He did, or living as though He didn’t. If you don’t know anything at all, then how did you choose?/ The psalmist famously wrote, ‘The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’’ Did he call the man a fool for not knowing God is real? Or for knowing God is real, but pretending to himself that he didn’t?/ Few people lose belief in God, and then do wrong. The more often traveled path is to do wrong, excuse it, then look for reasons to disbelieve in God.”
