God translator

God, I miss him. Don't ask; "Who?" because I just told you who... Remember when we were all young? Remember when church was God and your Dad was God and all was right in the world? Yeah, what ever happened to that? I am starting to believe that all is not right with the world and that is why people reach toward the heavens for answers; or are the listening to the heavens? There in-lies the rub. Did God create us in His image or is the reverse also true? Does it matter?
If you believe in God I am sure that it does matter. If you do not believe in God then Happy Winter Solstice to ya! And then there is the rest of us. I remember a line from one of my favorite movies "The Usual Suspects": "I don't believe in God; but I am afraid of him." Well I don't believe in the God worshiped in the churches of my youth and being 35 years old I am quite sure dear-old-dad ain't omniscient, omnipresent, and well ... perfect. So why do I still pray? Habit? Or is there something out there? As a physical therapist I have seen things I cannot explain. I have seen people with chronic debilitating back pain find final relief from pressure point electrical stimulation and I have seen patients become weaker with a wave of a hand over their back by the right person and stronger again with the reverse wave. I am always impressed when people say they know exactly what something is BECAUSE there is no evidence of what it is; see also Ghosts and hauntings. An increase in magnetic fields is common when ghost are present huh? And you know this because you tested this with and without ghosts in the room? Then again how would you know a ghost was in the room in order to test the magnetic fields? Psychic friends network?
So something is out there. It is also possible what is out there is really in here (pointing at my chest). Does that mean that it is not out there? I guess in the end I believe. I believe that I believe. C.S. Lewis explained this concept to non-believers saying that even a scientist goes home and kisses his wife. Love is not in a lab or on a scale but it exists as much as Argon, bridges and Hardee's. So what the hell? I guess in the end I may be having trouble finding the right "God translator" but that does not mean that we are not getting by with nods and hand gestures.
