I do not subscribe to organized religion. I was brought up Catholic and Christianity certainly helped form the views I have but I do not label myself as such. The saying that they can't all be right but they CAN all be wrong has always stuck with me. <br /><br />I believe my relationship with God is just that MY relationship with him. What you believe, what anyone else believes has absolutely no bearing on what I believe. My faith is mine alone. I don't subscribe to telling other people what to believe, I try to respect almost all beliefs because to each person that is their own personal truth. Extremists of ANY religion are exceptions of course. <br /><br />However I have to respectfully disagree with PeaKay. What right does anyone have to suggest anyone who disagrees with them leave? That certainly doesn't jive with what Christianity is suppose to be about. <br /><br />This country was founded to escape persecution of religion. Our founding fathers based it on Christian principles but were very careful to establish a nation separate from religion. A place where no one would be persecuted for having their own beliefs. It seems the Christians that came here seeking freedom have in turned become the tyrants wanting to force compliance or expel anyone different. I think a lot of that simply stems from fear and ignorance of what other "religions" are all about.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18247129498557321840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6210735.post-40834438474120929142010-01-16T21:15:43.769-06:002010-01-16T21:15:43.769-06:00Obviously Jeff is not a Christian.
Look around you...Obviously Jeff is not a Christian.<br />Look around you Jeff Day turns to night the sun rises and sets. Nature<br />provides our food and clothing and everything else.<br />If you don't believe in a higher being (call that what you may) then<br />too bad for you. Most non believers<br />call out God's name in times of trouble. Guess you haven't had much in your life as yet.<br />You will.<br />Maybe we should send all the non believers to some other country as the United States of America was founded on Christianity.PeaKay40noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6210735.post-32741744517930825852010-01-16T13:54:55.199-06:002010-01-16T13:54:55.199-06:00Are you sure god is a good guy? How do you know? W...Are you sure god is a good guy? How do you know? Why is your interpretation any more valid than Pat's? God is against slavery, but not against squashing people with earthquakes? You've just dreamed up a nicer fairy tale for yourself, that's all. You don't have any valid reason that you're right and he's wrong. I'm sure Pat can claim just as much "faith" that his version of god is correct as you can. When will people wake up and see this crap for what it is. A vehicle to control people and exert their will over them. Why do thinking, intelligent people subject themselves to the intellectual slavery and bondage?Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03605177720729508464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6210735.post-56613229515036901712010-01-16T09:50:09.402-06:002010-01-16T09:50:09.402-06:00I share your opinion.I share your opinion.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18247129498557321840noreply@blogger.com
