Dear God

I know I don't really pay much attention too you, I don't even attend Church regularly...ok so not even once a year. I also am well aware that the only time I ever have anything to say is when I want something. Like that one time I was in third grade I prayed to you almost every day "Please make Chris Harmonn marry me". Then my family mysteriously moved away. I guess you didn't even like me then. But that's not the point. Some people don't believe in you and it kind of upsets me. I'm certainly not the good Catholic girl my grandmother intended me to be but I think I at least embody some of the ideals and morals your followers preach. So I definitely can't tell everyone to be a good Christian because I'm not really even sure what that means. I do know that it's important to have faith in something otherwise life starts to lack any real purpose.

Don't get me wrong, I am a woman of science. I know about the big bang and the origin of life and all of that good stuff. I'm just saying something, somewhere probably had to give it a little push here and there and I think that something is you...whoever or whatever you are. I don't know how I feel about about the Bible, probably because I have never sat down and read it. I suppose it represents the values and ideals that you'd want all of us earthlings to follow. I also think it chronicles a story, that though created with good intentions, cannot always be taken as the absolute truth. My personal theory is that some very passionate and faithful individuals transcribed it with the intentions to propagate the Christian fate. All that is fine and each individual should take from it what he or she finds important.

My point is that I think it's stupid to get hung up over religion or the lack of it. I'm not telling everyone to be a model Christian because I certainly am not. What I am saying is that sometimes people have to have a little faith, not only in God but also in eachother. And if you're not comfortable with the name God, call it something else...like Wally the Wombat or something. Just appreciate what you've been blessed with and seek to find answers to all of your questions in your own way. Be happy and be nice.
