In John’s Gospel, one of the first four books of the New Testament in the Bible, there is a story in the 9th chapter about Jesus healing a man born blind. There are three sets of characters in the story worth your pondering.

I remember when I was younger, the basic impression I got from religious people was that I had to have "faith." Faith just in general, but sometimes more specifically in "god," generically. But faith is worthless first of all if it is not in Jesus, and also if it doesn't show itself in action.

You don't need someone to give you evidence that there is a God. You know deep down that there must be more to life than meets the eye. The complexity, the magnitude, the beauty.
