You Can’t Access God with Reason?

At left is what has troubled me about the belief in God since I was three years old.

I asked my mother, “How did all this stuff get here,” and she replied, “God made it.” When I asked in response, “Who made God?” she said, “Nobody knows.”

I told her that this was not going to work for me, and then, I guess, I asked her to tell me a bedtime story.

The idea that reason is inferior to belief in things for which there is no evidence has been abhorrent to me for as long as I can remember.
