Proof?

Many skeptics want proof in the existence of God. What is the fuss, they ask, if no certainty can be had? They ever seek the that undeniable confidence in divine reality.

But do they really want it? Really? Proof? Beyond a shadow of a doubt?

Honestly, proof scares me a little. I would have to change my whole life in a permanent and drastic fashion.

Sometimes I wonder if the endless search for proof isn't actually the reverse, a confident assertion of uncertainty. Deities with uncertain existences can be kept at arms length.

Really? If you were presented with proof that God exists, you would have to change your life in a drastic fashion?

I'm doing my best to already live that way, or at least move in that direction.
