6. Some people need to believe

and some people want to believe.

They can believe what they want.

I would love for it all to be true, there are too many horrible people living their fantasy by pushing off to others their fantasy interpretations. All we have is our faith, or not, and a bunch of people taking every advantage using the stories.

I prefer the sidelines.

As a little kid who was taken to Sunday School and LOVED the stories of Jesus I have wandered far away from them and am more comfortable now. Still, would I wish to find out they were true? I think so, it is hard to lose what you are fed as a wondering child.
