Do You Believe in God?

[Sam]

I don't believe in God but I AM pro-religion. It helps grow good morals, not that you can't achieve them without it. It clouds too many peoles minds, makes some people crazy, but makes most happy. Do what makes you happy, but please give others thteir privacy.

Didn't go through.

Didn't go through.

God dammit. I don't even remember what I wrote.

Well, I'll try.

Alright, now, as I was saying- I mostly agree with you. I do think having any form of faith is healthy and can be healing. Just having something to believe in is important. Thing is, if you can't bring yourself to believe, pretending to believe simply isn't going to help at all.

I can say I love God and pray everyday, but it's not going to do shit unless I actually believe. And at this point, I've thought way too hard about the subject to throw my life into blind faith now.

But I do agree with you in that I would never bash someone elses religion. People deserve to believe what they want to believe, and who am I to stop them? I won't even share my religious beliefs unless someone insists it.

her, she's my choir director. she's really religious and since half of the music we do is old roman catholic stuff and gospel music (most of which I don't even like the sound of), the subject comes up a lot. She tries to put us in a certain frame of mind so we sing better and we understand what the piece is about. Today she was talking about "The Color Purble" and her specific wording was "...everyone sees God at some point in their lives, if you haven't then you're just.. weird."

or perhaps nonreligious or part of a religion that isn't Abrahamic

[Daddy]

Not really. No. Church kinda ruined it for me, ironically.

For me it was church and CCD twice a week for 15 years

Same. I went to church for 13 years and went to a private school until high school.

I think it also depends on the church you go to... Priests preach differently in different places, so the lectures can be more fire and brimstone or more peaceful depending on which the priest feels will get his congregation motivated.

Aubrey, I just need to know HOW you could believe it. Doesn't it sound like rubbish to you?
