But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg. -Thomas Jefferson

I agree with what Star says...... but many of those who say there is no God want to scream condemnations at those who do believe in God or even a Higher Power. Strange though, they only pick on certain ones. Spirit Woman is very vocal about her beliefs, which although they differ from mine, they still have a Higher. She and I get along quite well with our differences, because we can relate on our similarities. But it is not her that gets condemned and called stupid, it is usually me or others who profess a belief in salvation through Jesus Christ.
Oh, and it isn't even everybody ..... Leaf professes such a belief, but no one seems to try to belittle him for it.
As for my belief in God and His Son, Jesus.......... I do not have to justify it to anyone. I know what I know, from personal experience with God and nothing can shake my belief and trust in Him. Nobody else's opinion count.


Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

I am very secure with my spiritual path and active in my spiritual community. I find it very annoying when someone tries to shove their path while discounting mine. It is equally annoying when someone who doesn't have a spiritual path and lacks any kind of belief does the same. It seems like they have to jump up and down discounting everybody else because they are insecure with their own stance. It's is like the scared little kid whistling in the dark to keep the boogie man away.

I have no need to defend my beliefs or discount anyone else's.

Human belief in anything, is personal and is completely acceptable since we have freedom to believe what we wish. Unless, that is, we find our personal beliefs allow us to discriminate and see others as somewhat less than us. The point I'm making is this... neither religious nor political/culture belief makes any one of us "better" than any other.
There are some people here in SFF who think belief and faith are a matter of "taking sides" or "defending their faith" when someone even mentions their belief... whether it be religious or political. There is absolutely no objectivity in their thinking... and that is exactly the same attitude that rules terrorism..."believe as I do, or suffer the consequences you deserve!"

I get more than a little bored being called anti-American, anti-Christian and all the other crap directed at me because I believe "differently". Or, to be more exact...what those people THINK I believe. Because, in reality they base all their attitude on a lack of knowledge of what their own beliefs are. Actually they've taken what they learned in kindergarten and have looked no further than that. They have never viewed any of it with objectivity...if they had, they would be much less keen on taking sides.

NOTHING IN THIS WORLD CAN EVER BE PERFECT...THAT IS THE MOST BASIC OF TRUTHS IN HUMAN LIFE.
