Belief

I cannot believe that God would be so cruel to create a world capable of such evil as can be seen and allow such sickness and injustice as has been suffered to permeate so much of the world while some few lucky people who do not deserve it live in health and wealth and happiness. I refuse to believe in that. I do believe that there is the possibility of good in all people, and if circumstances were right and people were good, the world would be a better place. So, my disbelief is actually a different kind of belief. I have a belief in something that I have some evidence for, but more than that, I have a need to believe it. I like to think that logic is the reason I don't believe in the traditional Christian god. But maybe it's because I have chosen to believe in something different. Does that make me better? I still like to think so. To believe in good seems better than to believe in god.
