I am amazingly incurious. I have absolute trust that each person will be judged perfectly. I don't know where it comes from. I was about 10 or so when my evil great uncle died. I remember a feeling of peace that only a child can have. I don't know if he had a painful death or anything except that I had peace. I just knew that his judgment was perfect.

I think many people don't want to believe in a higher power because they see it as an obligation. I've known people who "tested" God - answer this prayer or you don't exist kind of thing. Some people just want proof. But, you can't prove it's snowing to a blind man. He has to go outside and hear it and feel it for himself. I'm reminded of a wonderful line from "The Santa Clause". "Seeing isn't believing. Believing is seeing."
