The greatest challenges to my faith in God all stem from the attack of Atheism, both from practical and positive atheists, from scientism, and from our culture. The lure from practical Atheism is strong in my life in that I go to mass every Sunday, but usually, I don't get anything from it, unless the Gospel is one that I like. Most of the time, I just zone out during the homily, my mind somewhere else. To combat this, though, I have a stong belief in God and that he does exist, because how else could the universe have happened so perfectly the way it did, with the delicate balance it has. I also believe that God is the answer to "what came before the universe?" There couldn't have been nothing because something can't come from nothing, and the only thing that could exist without time, without dimension is God. The challenge to my Faith that comes from scientism is also strong because in logic to be a very good way to prove something and scientism does just that to prve that God does not exist. The lack of God in our culture, however, does not affect me. The culture of our time doesn't really make an effort to attack the existence of God except for a few radical cases in which you see what they are saying against God and think "are they serious?" Some of their arguements are just that stupid.
