I think you guys have taught me a lot thank you. I have not known many people in real life who are religious, but the ones I have met on the internet say so many outrageous things I guess I was generalising and I'm sorry. I think that those who can give intelligent reasons to rationalise their beliefs probably deserve the benefit of the doubt
..cont... Because they are just intelligent people who have learnt to believe in god and think it's normal. The reason I have the feelings expressed in my initial posting is because I have been bought up in a 100%% god-free environment so it just seems absurd and I couldn't be converted. Belief in a personal god rather than everyone elses... I respect that so much more x
If you where bought up in a God free environment, maybe you should go to Church & give it a try? Just to experience it & to form your opinion.....however I will say that I did go to different churches, because you got to find one you feel cozy with. There is nothing bad about God, the true Christians do not judge, they show love, & compassion. I don't understand why some think it is such a horrible thing...he also taught us to not kill, steal, cheat, e.t.c. are those bad things to live by? I hate to say this, but sometimes I had doubts when I was younger, because you hear people say things.....I had been to church many times, but this one time I went & everything changed for me...I got to feel God in my heart...& nothing & I mean nothing in this world can even compare to how it is the greatest, most purest feeling I have ever felt. I always say to people...if every single person on this earth could feel that "feeling", there would be no hatred, wars, evil, e.t.c. God gives us free will, we have the power to change all these bad things that happen..he said if we all pray together this land would be healed...I truly believe that. I would also would rather live my life as their is a God, to not live like there is one only to find out there was. I hope that makes sense. I have been saved, but I still sin, I am not perfect...I have compassion for people....even if they may not like me, or mean to me...I still feel love for people. I try to see good in everyone. I also have a high up job that takes brains, so I am not dumb....& I know you don't mean it the way it sounds. You seem like a nice person inside....& you just need love, & guidance. Even if you don't believe I do hope God guides you to whatever makes you happy.
Also your post is a bit tl;dr
