No one truly believes anything concerning spiritual matters.
Oh, they want to believe.
Some of them need to believe.
But it is impossible to sustain a belief in the unbelievable.
I mean….....for Christ’s sakes….........a HOLY…....SPIRIT…..............
Cooooome on….........It’s laughable….....and more than a little sad.
