We are all searching. Whether from God, religion, science, or some uncanny existentialism that breeds from nowhere, we are all driven to find who we are, and more more importantly why.

I don't claim to have answers to these questions for myself much less for those around me. I cannot interpret for anyone who they should be. All I can say is that the destination of Truth is only as real as the source from which you get it.

Many believe that truth is nothing more than perception. I argue that by saying that Blue is Blue whether you are color blind to know it or not. I perceive some things accurately, and some things not so accurately. As with anything else, you cannot accurately perceive "everything". That is where an external source is necessary.

We all depend on some greater force or institution to fill in the blanks of our sometimes patchy realization of what is going on around us. Which greater force or institution you choose as your ultimate source of truth will greatly impact your life, what you believe, and ultimately who you are.

I don't try to convince a non-believer that God exists, because I can't prove it. There is no scientific evidence that God is there, loving me, caring for me, guiding me; all things I believe. I can, however, get them to understand that science, psychology, and philosophy still require a degree of faith. A faith or belief in God is no less grounded than a belief in science, psychology or philosophy. In fact, the story of the Bible is much less likely to have been conceived out of social, economic, or cultural biases due to the fact that the story of Jesus offends all of those.

All this said, continue in your search for truth, but do it honestly. God does not mind a question being asked; in fact, I believe He loves it. After all, I think He is big enough to answer it. Don't believe something because your parents said it or because you heard in school or a newspaper. (meditate on why you believe what you believe). This will lead you to God at some point, and He can fully satisfy the question.
