God

Religion is a personal topic for many people. I think it's mostly to not cause unpleasant disagreements. But, I am genuinely unsure of the existence of a higher being.

The reason I even bring this up is that yesterday, a woman from one of my classes spoke with me at great length about God and her church. Overall, I found her a tad off-putting for various reasons. But, she could possibly be an okay person. I don't know. The jury is out on that one.

Then, today, I was at Starbucks in between classes and a man comes over to me and starts talking to me about religion and God and Jesus and why what Jesus did was so important. And, I dunno, it's just all overwhelming because nearly everyday (in recent history) I question God's existence and suddenly, in rapid succession two people are engaging me about this topic.

It could be a coincidence, but maybe it's not. I don't know. I am always skeptical of people's motives. I am contemplating attending a service at the church this guy was from: It's called
New Life. It certainly wouldn't hurt to just go take a look...

One thing I didn't like about my encounter with the guy from New Life is that he didn't seem to be interested in engaging me on other topics that confuse me. I feel like he hit on some of the points for my undecidedness (these being the same for probably most people), but that he shied away from others. Then, and this is one thing that always makes me cringe, at the end, he gave me one of those little religious books. I hate those things. I own a Bible, I don't need someone's interpretation of scripture snippets explaining what stuff means to me.
