I believe in God as our loving Father and I have had occasional glimpses of his presence, which, for me, is enough to justify my faith. My belief has got nothing to do with rationalism, enlightenment or some advanced state of consciousness. Some poor, uneducated, old woman living in Eastern Europe who knows about pain and suffering is undoubtedly, in my view, a lot closer to God than any theoretician, philosopher or so called 'enlightened' individual.
