Every persons search for God is a very personal and different experience.
When I was 20 I believed in selling Cocaine and banging cheap women and drinking expensive liquor and I strongly doubted the existence of God as he had little to offer me at that time. Now that Im a little older and have experienced more (and survived my previous beliefs lol) I do believe that we all have a higher purpose. If you asked everyone who voted no on this poll in ten years who knows what they would say? Ask them after the birth of their first child! After being married for 20 years! On the other hand ask everyone who voted yes and you could also get completely different results. I knew a girl who was a faithful catholic for years and years who lost a cousin to a senseless drunk driving accident and she now professes to believe in no God at all.

God reaches different people in different ways and I wont go into my personal awakening. I am not a born again christian or even a regular church goer but I feel in my heart that theres something bigger then me out there.

Theres a great little book called "Inferno" by...... uhhhhhhh sheesh Niven or Pournelle I always get em mixed up that is a sci-fi update of Dantes Inferno. It asks some good questions about why God would keep a private torture chamber called hell and lots of other modern updates on sins and morality. it raised more questions in my mind then the Bible ever did.
