Emilie Marguerite Miller

This blog post contains the story of my daughter Emilie as well as her eulogy and obituary.  I have had this posted on another web site for years.  Today, we’re switching from Time Warner to U-Verse for internet service.  As a result, Emilie’s old web site will be taken down.  I decided to move the content over to my WordPress blog so that it would be easier to manage going forward.  If you’ve seen the old web site, there’s nothing new here.

On Christianity

I am an agnostic. I believe in myself; I know that I exist inside here—you just have to trust me on that. I believe in Free Will. I believe in logic and reason. I believe in the scientific process. I neither believe nor disbelieve in anything else unless it can be established through logic, reason, and the scientific process. I did grow up as a Christian in the Episcopal Church. Although always liberal in my beliefs, I was strong in my Christian faith. I attended church regularly; I served as lead acolyte in my church for years; I prayed and read the Bible regularly; I even participated in Bible study in college. After college, my faith evaporated, and I was able to look at Christianity in a more logical, rational way. The results weren’t pretty. Before explaining what I mean by that, let’s talk a bit about God (the Christian concept of God, that is) and Free Will.
