God is comfortable??

My husband said something a few weeks ago that has had me thinking. I don't really remember what we were taliking about, just that he said essentially, people believe in God because it's comfortable. My first reaction was EXCUSE ME?? which is usually my reaction when he says anything that questions my view of things. Well, I told him I disagreed with him, especially when it came to me and my beliefs and we left it at that.
Well, I didn't really leave it at that. Over the following days, I thought about it off and on. You see, ever since he came out of the closet so to speak as an atheist, I've been actually re-evaluating and examining my own beliefs. I really think everyone needs to do this and though he probably doesn't know it, he's been a wonderful and frustrating inspiration for me to do just that.
Anyway, back to his above comment. I can see how belief in God can become a comfortable habit. People generally don't think about it or live it but if anyone asks, they reply "Of course I believe". And it's so easy to fall into that trap. Early on, we are taught the doctrine of a particular faith. We take the word of whoever is doing the teaching. We believe our priests, rabbi's, ministers etc.. Why, because they have the training and education. They supposedly enjoy a closer relationship with God. But where do they get their answers from?? Sacred text's, personal reflection, their teachers...But for the most part, it doesn't matter really because though those answers, on reflection, may be right for them, that doesn't necessarily hold true for anyone else.
Thanks to my husband, my belief isn't comfortable. Knowing that God is, is a comfort to me; but considering that that is all I know, it is far from comfortable. My belief hasn't answered any questions, it has only created more. For me that is a blessing, because it is only by asking those questions and searching for the answers that can I achieve that closer relationship with God that I want.

There was an interesting srticle in the local newspaper recently about the need for more widespread CPR training.
This is of course greatly needed. In this case, the numbers don't lie and the fact is CPR saves lives, doubling or even tripling a person's chance of survival.
The only bone of contention I have is the articles bullet point that "People should know about...Good Samaritan laws, which protect people from liability who perform good faith rescue attempts"
This is bull. In my recent recert in Basic Life Support, the class was warned about lawsuits that have been successfully won by people whose lives were saved thanks to bystander CPR, but who suffered some injury eg. cracked ribs. It seems that being alive isn't enough and some of them want compensation for their injuries. I realize we live in a lawsuit crazed world, nut COME ON--Suing the person who saved your life??? Even more frightening, these people are being awarded money for pain and suffering !!!!
The lesson I've taken from this--
By all means, help someone if you can
just don't tell them your name:)
