Your relationship with God is just a psychological crutch. Belief in God is dangerous. I used to believe, but I've given it all up.
Is God real? Is it possible to know anything, let alone know him? Why do bad things happen to people who worship this God? What about the spiritual experiences of other faiths?
All of these accusations, objections and questions have come directly from real-life situations.
Amy Orr-Ewing writes, 'I hope that the thoughts offered here will help you see what the Christian faith has to say amid all the pain, confusion and complexity of life.'
