Re: U GOTTA HAVE FAITH.

There are a lot of reasons I have not responded to this post yet. First off some of you won't like it, in fact most of you won't. I am not going to give you all of my opinions because sometimes they are too harsh.
First, I believe in some supreme being, but not necessarily God (in the Christian sense), and not necessarily just one. I believethere is a higher entity that created us, but I don't think we are supposed to know what.
Second, I do not believe what the Bible says, because it was written by men. And yes, I do mean that in the literal sense, because while there are women who wrote I do not believe it was believed that they were worthy of the task and thus afraid to write freely. I do not like how it mentions rape freely and as if it were not a big deal. I do not like how part of Jesus life is missing. I will say that it is a good book, but I won't agree that it is the Good Book. I think that valuable lessons can be learned, but I think sometimes it is almost held up as the law.
Now after that you all probably think I am terrible. I just think that I can accept everyone as long as they are not completely horrible to me. Sometimes though people who get too involved in religon forget that people are still human, we make mistakes.
If you want to ask me questions or anythnig feel free to, because I know this isn't everything. I just have a hard time writing it all, because I do notwant to write like a term paper on just my thoughts. Plus I wanna see howmuch people yell at me before I type more

First, I don't think there's anything wrong with different beliefs. Actually, I welcome other insight and opinions. Also, I don't think that if it's something you believe in you should really care if ppl "yell" at you or not. Everyone has different beliefs, that's what makes us who we are. Part of getting to know ppl is by finding out their general belief system, thoughts, opinions, likes, dislikes, etc.
