The way I see it Niamh is we were given free will,what we chose to do with that free will is entirely our doing,I believe in God but I am not on my knees every hour praying,I do try and live a good life,it doesn't always work,I curse and swear and have been a swine in my time,I don't go to church every week,I do pray,but quietly to myself. I think we chose to believe in God,not him wanting us to believe,and I am sure God must be sighing in disbelief at some of the atrocities we are committing on the planet,and whether you believe or not if you look at the 10 commandments surely that cant be a bad way to live,if people kinda followed that the world would be a much better place,I don't think I am wasting my life believing in God,God is just there.
