i believe that people are looking more of answers of self sufficiency than faith to get them though life. I do not have a problem with religion or
religious people. And while i do believe there is something out there, i do not believe what i read in "the book" cause there is several pieces
missing. also throw in the fact that most of that book is written by people with a limited knowledge of how tings work and you run into "beliefs"
again. For instance, solar eclipses used to be thought of as angering the gods. yet we have a theory for that now. Also throw in the fact that
maybe god does exist... who is he or any of us to determine what is right or wrong. And then add all the wars "in his name" or " for his cause"
and you see how religion has been pushed upon us (for reasons i will not get into).
So for those of you who say i am going to hell, remember hell will only last as long as you let it hurt or fear it. I go though life understanding
that i may die at any day or any moment. but i do not live a certain way so i can have a reward (eternal life..yay roll eyes)
one last thing in the big book is you can repent at the gates....so why worry about it now. do what you feel is right ( for instance watching your
kids suffer though hard times teaches them to deal with problems, while solving it for them teaches them to be dependant). what do you think i want
for my kids.
I also do teach my kids about god... but not as a savior or lover of humanity, but as a subject that can not be proven or unproven. Am i wrong? or
are you? until you can answer that statement with facts (no oppinions) please expect a modest "meh" from me or others who are starting to see
things outside of the fear induced state caused by the organized church.
and more question for religios people... why was it ok for god to kill so many people in the great flood... yet i do not have that right being made in
the image of god?
enjoy
