Selected controversy: The existence of a higher power
Distinct opinion #6: We can be sure God exists, because the nature of Christianity is to live with faith in Him, and to know that He exists without seeing him for ourselves.

Paraphrasing:
- It is very much so possible to believe in God without touching or seeing Him. He surrounds us, speaking to our souls and minds, and we must develop spiritual understanding in order to be able to comprehend his existence. His existence is continuously proven by unexplainable phenomena and miracles, making this faith in Him justifiable.
- The existence of God is purposefully kept hazy, because doing so encourages His followers to have complete, unending faith in him. One who cannot believe in Him without seeing Him never had true faith in Him to begin with. It is this concept that details the meaning of life within Christianity.
- We are intended, through the Bible, to enjoy the world of spirituality, a world without any geographical place, but instead lives within our minds. We must connect with Him through meditation in order to keep this spiritual energy alive within us. We cannot force others to understand His existence, but we can push them to ask about the unexplainable questions the world has to offer, and get them to understand the God that is looking out for them.
