I believe that I am a rational, logical person - that is probably what made me such a damned good computer programmer. While we no longer belong to any organized religion/church we do believe in the teachings of Jesus. According to Luke (who was a physician, therefore educated for his time, Jesus said he was the Son of God and Luke believed him.

Both Florence and me have experienced things in our lives that are inexplicable by science but easily explained if you think there may be angels about.

Do I believe that the world was created in 6 days - explain "day". Do I believe in Adam and Eve - probably the first demonstration of male chavinism, blame it all on the woman.

If when I die that's it - so then my belief is wrong. On the other hand if I do walk into the light and I had not believed I would feel pretty stupid.
