A lot of people feel this way on something as touchie as religion. What i believe in would be somehting a lil differnt, i believe that there is something out there far greater than we can imagine or comprehend no matter how many churches or religious authority figures there are. I beleieve that the laws of most religions were made by man and not god, it was god who wrote the ten commandments and therefore so shall it be, ya know? makes sense if you think about it. Also, yes it is good to treat poeple as if you wan tto be treated so then they'll remember you're kindness and treat mothers with taht same kindness so hopefully we'll all look inside ourseleves and help out one another. Although becuase of the greed and ignorance of today it might not happen as quickly as we all make it out to be. What i think that god would want us to do would be to just live our lives, sure we should question it's not blastfomy. Seriously, it's no crime to just enjoy the ouside and wonder around with eyes and a mind forever hungry for knowlege, to learn about other religion would give us a better understanding about other people so we too could be better people and not so closed minded as others. Couple eyars ago i too had a fall out with my religion but i figured out that just becuase popele screw it up for me doesn't mean i can't be who i am. So i ask myself.. "why should i care? they're not my maker, so i'll worship my own way" of course i didn't get a lot of favor but i learned that just becuase you are wjho you are doesn't mean it's wrong cuase the bible said it is. The bible was actualy made by a bunch of other short stories so people can be inspred to fallow through and be a good person like teh good semaratin. Unfortunitly most people read it wrong by thinking it's how ALL life shold be, but tehy're forgetting that we are still human and mistakes will be made, if you live for yourself while still being a good person, you're living for HIM and i think that's what he would want us to be. After all he individualy crafted us with our different talenst so they can be sued to help or entertain us am i right? if we just stuck our noses in the bible and worship then there would be no art, music, or what we have today. It's good to be greatful of what means themost to you cuase it could be taken away in the blink of an eye. Anyway i hope this helps and i hope i didn't offend you. Take care buddy and let me know if you want to chat more ^^
