so, where do I sign up for the pill so I can 'believe in God'? Life would be easier, I'm sure. But once you've gone down the road of doubt, there is really no turning back. I prefer to question than to be spoon fed the answers. If when I ask the question, the answer is not satisfying, then what I can do but continue to question. I like to be curious. I like to be creative. It makes sense that there would be differences in the brains of believers and non-believers.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
