                    LONELINESS AFFECTS BELIEF IN GOD

                    Faith is the belief that god will do what is right. 
God says that the more hopeless your circumstances, the more likely your salvation. The greater your cares, the more genuine your prayers. The darker the room, the greater need for light.

                    	For me, my belief in God was reaffirmed recently by something I would not have expected.  While I was in England I visited St. Paul’s Cathedral.  Worshiping in that great cathedral your eyes are drawn to the great dome.  It is actually three domes, one on top of the other, with the highest and

The two professors stood nose to nose as they shouted at one another.  "The craters on the moon are the result of volcanism," cried one. 
"You are an idiot," screamed the other, "the craters on the moon are the result of meteor impact."

Illustration: I once heard someone say, “All religions ultimately lead to God.” But, think about this question logically.
