Doesn't and never has bothered me to say I'm not sure.  I do think there 
is a higher power than us - but sometimes I feel like we're a 7th graders 
science project (did you ever have to build an ant farm?) and other times 
I think if there REALLY is a God/Gods then he/she/they/WHATEVER is REALLY 
cruel.

Things that people have used that really get me.

1) You're here so there must be a God.  Ok.  In that case, God's here too 
so where did he come from.  At some point, there HAD to have been nothing.

2) Sure I did LOTS of stuff this week I shouldn't have, but I'll pray 
this weekend and be forgiven for it all.  Sorry - this doesn't wash 
either.  If you know something is wrong before you do it then I don't buy 
the forgiveness bit and if you didn't know it was wrong you shouldn't 
have to be forgiven for it.

3) You'll go to hell unless you believe in MY particular part of the 
religion (baptist, methodist, etc).  More BS - if there is a God, he gave 
us a brain to think and reason with and will understand not being sure.
