I've pretty much always believed in God for no real reason. No one told me to & I've always shied away from church or overzealous religious people so no, I'm not brainwashed. Lately, I'm finding myself thinking what is the point in all this? I know life isn't fair, sin is man's fault, etc etc but, how can one who believes that God helps those who help themselves, reconcile the fact that seemingly good people get slammed in life and those who blatantly sin but, claim they're religious, seemingly get off scott free? If I even think about a sin, something horrific happens. I know hardships are a part of life but we all have our breaking point and I've crossed mine. I've tried the praying bit, the being a good girl bit and even the not questioning God's plan bit. I get nada each time.
My question is this, how does one who doesn't believe in God reconcile these feelings and let go of the looking to a higher power for help trip? What do you rely on to get you through hard times?
