an atheist told me: <br />'i dont believe in God....' <br />'okay, what do you believe? ' <br /> <br />'well, you know, <br />there's something out there, <br />something bigger, beyond <br /> <br />all our conceptions, <br />some reason behind creating <br />and destroying.... <br /> <br />i dont know... just dont know.... <br />some reason we feel the things we feel, <br />some reason we do the things we do..... <br /> <br />some reason we live our lives, <br />some reason we love who we love.... <br />something that knows why things are, <br /> <br />why some people are hungry, <br />and some have too much... <br />some reason there's so much suffering... <br /> <br />some reason there's so much beauty... <br />i dont know, just dont see some bearded <br />old man casting judgements... <br /> <br />i just dont know....' <br />i thought for a little bit and answered: <br />'that's kinda like what i believe, <br /> <br />i just call the 'i dont know', <br />God!
