Joan Of Arcadia

ok...never seen an episode before and now I've seen about eight today, gotta love marathon days on TV. This must be a easter weekend thing.

I have to admit, they've intrigued me.

The whole concept of god and free will has taken on new meaning for me in the last few weeks. After three baptism classes for the wee one - where I've learnt more about my husband then I have of God and the Catholic Church - I've been re-evaluating my own faiths and beliefs and I'm not sure I like what I see.

I think the concept of tradition holds more water for me then the actual belief that their is a god out there. I would rather believe we are a freak of nature, then believe that there is an almighty being who is supposed to be out there watching over us. Not doing anything....just wathcing over us.

For years I've convinced myself that there is a god just so that I knew bad people went to a bad place. I mean, in the grand scheme of things doesn't there have to be some cosmic justice??

Our baptism person asked Rob what a miracle was...He said besides the wee one that he'd never seen one. I've never seen one either. I've never seen a shred of evidence that he even possibly could exist.

before anyone goes anal and says life around us....let me clarify. I'v never seen anything unquantified by science. No one has ever lifted a car in front of me that they shouldn't have been able to.

This has led me to rethink.

So now what do I tell the wee one about God?
