Attends church, goes to a church group, prays teh rosary almost daily, she's HxC catholic. I once tried to explain my views as an agnostic and she was offended....terribly. I mean I guess you would call her a slave to the church. She follows virtually everything...but the happiness that I've seen flow out of her because of religion is beautiful. To have such devotion to her life and the church is something to be somewhat jealous of, because she has found her meaning in life. She has hope in her life because of Religion. So..now my question is not if you want to rob another human being of his/her right to believe in a higher power, but instead if you want to rob a human from his/her right to a meaning in life.


Does it really matter if God exists?

This.
