    How to Answer a Patient Who Asks: "Does God Exist?"

    JadedCPN replied to S.I.C.'s topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Thank you for sharing your experiences; they show that god exists to you and give you the proof that you need that god exists in your life, and I support that. Of course, that is not necessarily proof...
