Don't underestimate the power of a supreme entity or "God".  I was baptised an Anglican, but was never forced to attend church on a regular basis as my parents believed I should be free to choose my own faith as I became older.  When I was born my parents were young and baptised me under tradition and family pressure.  Essentially, I developed my own system of faith under what I have learned for myself and what has become comfortable for me.  I must tell you that I have found the article on your webpage very believable and to-the point.  On the other hand, I've got to say that I have experienced in my own life events that I would not count as miracles, but definately as interventions from a higher power.  I won't go into details, but suffice it to say that under some situations I am here to write this note to you when I should be dead, and that I have seen visions that have made me believe.  Please believe me when I say these circumstances were not luck or coincidence.   I have always believed that the bible was created to keeep the masses in line several hundred years ago and has lost a lot of relevance in this day and age;  one cannot take what it says verbatim.  I'm just saying that the bible is not the end-all and say-all.  There is a lot of stuff out there that cannot be explained and can't be chalked up to coincidence or superstition.  Don't disregard someones belief system just because you don't believe yourself - there's a lot of weird stuff out there that can't be explained or can't be believed until you see it with your own eyes.  When it happens to you, you'll know - and then you may change your tune.  Take it for what it's worth.
