Thoughts on human capacity
The look of disbelief on her face was clear, "Look around you!" she pleaded, "Watch a sunset or a sunrise, listen to the birds sing while the sun shines on your face! Walk in the woods and feel the tranquility and then tell me you don't believe in God." I shook my head, "You don't understand, it's not God that I deny it's religion. Humans as a whole can't even seem to comprehend the pain and suffering of each other so how could I trust that they would have the capacity to understand the idea of God? Maybe if we can learn to demonstrate compassion we'd be a small step closer to truly knowing God."
