Proof that there is a God.

I have always believed that there is a God. I would consider myself a religious person. I would even consider myself a Mormon. That is not what I am here to talk about today. My proof that there is a God stems from the conundrum of relationships.

I was thinking the other day, and I found myself thinking about how attraction is really the cause of relationship woes. If it weren't for attraction we wouldn't have trouble with relationships, because our relationships would be based off of things that make sense. Most guys would probably get with fat girls because they like steak and sweets. I gotta be honest. When I meet a girl that's a vegetarian I want to cry. What kind of a life is that? Unfortunately, if she is attractive I can somehow live with the fact that I hate her. How does that make any sense? Everyone does it. Attraction is the override for our brains. We have this specific list of qualities that our perfect mate needs to have, but if an attractive man/woman, that has none of those qualities, comes along our brain temporarily deletes that list and we live miserably for however long the relationship lasts. Some times people get lucky and the attractive person turns out to have some of the important qualities, but definitely not enough to merit being in that relationship. It's sad how many people get into these relationships, and they just stay in it because the force of attraction is so strong. I am probably exhibit A when it comes to this. I am, unfortunately, a very shallow person. It makes me angry, because there are girls that have all the qualities that I would look for, but because of the things that I am attracted to I could never be with them. I apologize for the honesty, but that's just how it is. I bring this up because it is quite a dilemma. Without attraction I think that a lot more people could be in better and more fulfilling relationships. Relationships that wouldn't be so focused on outward appearance, and our brains wouldn't essentially have a virus that completely screws us all over.

The only problem is that without attraction things would be way too easy. We would find someone suited to us almost perfectly in all the right ways. It would take away the excitement and the risk. The feeling of being alive that you get when you are head over heels for someone. You can like someone's personality sure, but I believe that it is attraction that tips the emotional scale and ultimately creates the full feeling of love. There are definitely bad things that can come from relationships based solely on attraction, but you can't really appreciate or learn how to find good without having been completely miserable first. I believe that without attraction, relationships would be only average. There would be no amazing story about the nerd marrying the cheerleader, or the girl finding her perfect prince charming. Why do you think romantic movies do so well, and why so many women read those horrid novels with the super gay front covers of guys that have no shirt on. It is because attraction is such a strong deep rooted part of us. This is one of the large reasons that I believe there is a God. People are so complex that it is downright offensive to think that we aren't part of something more than just this life. I am not saying that I am right. I obviously believe that I am right, but even if I am wrong. I would rather live my life believing what I believe instead of thinking there is nothing after this. How depressing is that? I believe that everything is too complex for it to be coincidence. People, relationships, compassion, sadness, happiness, love. Those things are all way too complex to be an accident caused by some big explosion billions of years ago. That is my proof.
