Foilwoman, I can only offer you this picture: Christ is knocking at your door. The door has no knob on His side, only you can open it. The door has grown over in weeds and vines of the suffering you endure daily, that keeps Him out. He holds the light of the world in His hand, to guide your way. All you have to do is open the door.

I cannot convince you that God is almighty, or that he is more than gracious in our lives. I understand it's hard to see the good in a world that hits us everyday with horrible news of human atrocities, but the good things in the world are there. You have to choose to see them. I cannot make you see them (Kind of like the scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, when Tim shows King Arthur the horrible monster with "big pointy teeth." Tim screams, "THERE IT IS!" And King Arthur says, "What, behind the rabbit?" And Tim says, "IT IS THE RABBIT!" Well, that's what it like trying to show you the way... Sorry, maybe that wasn't the best way to get my point across. But it's a really funny scene, huh.).

Anyway, I think we are at a stalemate. Both of us sit on our respective sides of the fence. Both of us have excellent, but unprovable points. Both are really circular arguments. So I offer a truce.

As fun as it is to have this debate... it sure is draining. Let's talk about something, anything, else.
