i also have a lot of respect for anyone who goes out and researches and studies different philosophies on why and how we came about to be here. and that is what i did when i was in high school. i was raised in church and it was all i knew. when i hit a certain age i decided i had no reason to believe in what i believed in. so i went out and researched everything i could. and i eventually came back to christianity because for me it was the only thing that made sense.

for me when i didn't believe in anything i didn't find any reason or point to life without faith in something. if you have no faith in anything and ask yourself what is the meaning of life? what kind of answer can you can up with? i couldn't figure out any. there is no reason to live. if nothing that we did here in this life meant or counted for anything what would be the point in trying to do good or help people or anything if we had no repercussions to what we did in this life? science gave me no answers to the meaning of life, it has no explanation of it.
