4th, I think I know how you feel, to some degree. I grew up as a Christian, going to church, youth group, camp, all that stuff. I had pretty strong faith, but as I got older (I'm 20 now) I started questioning that faith. So now I'm really not sure what to believe. I guess now I'm more of an agnostic. I've seen people with amazingly strong faith. I've also seen some things happen that I can explain as either a) an amazingly good act or b) some sort of power or force acting on someone. Sometimes I wish I could have that strong faith that I see in those other people, but I just don't have it. Some of my friends see it as a weakness, or being close-minded, but I believe that it is possible to be logical and open-minded, yet still have faith. It's just a matter of not having faith blindly, and not believing everything. If I could have that kind of faith, I'd take it, but I guess I'll just have to settle for doing what I can to improve the world without the help of a higher power/being.
