33. Okay, I Do Believe

in a higher power

and I believe in science

and I don't know when I started believing in one (HP)originally, but I lost faith, or really was indifferent to it for a long time.

Then I was in a position where it was helpful to believe in one and developed a belief.

I don't know if there is an analogy to belief in God that is accurate. It isn't Santa, or faerie tales, or magic, or..... I just don't know what it would be.

I understand that you were never exposed to belief and it seems to be an impossibility for you even IF YOU WANTED TO believe.

That may be true.
