As a believer in God and a free thinker(philosophy is my passion lol)
I must say that I respect everyone and they're beliefs. I don't interpret the Bible literally,yet I live by my principles as best I can everyday(not just sundays) Is my journey through a secular society going to be more difficult?
I must admitt that I love reading from different religious text and taking the core truths of each and notcing a stong comparrison.(i'm a christian,but I also love Hinduism,buddhism,Judaism and even Sufism aka Islamic Gnostisism)
In my opinion,I don't get mad at atheists because they don't believe in God,it's actually a very logical thing to feel like religion is mostly taught,not understood. and that religious institutions try to control the life styles of the lands/people/nation in which it exists. I believe in God and i also believe that atheists have a right to believe that most plausible thing that they are able to understand. God has no church,no country, no material ties to this world,only in truth do we live in unison with God. He's not some being that lives separately from us,but with us...he is after all.. "all in all" aka the universe as we know it.
And yes,I know what atheism implies my friend. I suppose my question is...how am I suppose to relate to a society that is mostly trying to dismiss God as a fantasy.
I know this sounds like a poorly written(confusing) question...but why may I ask am I being torn apart about being afraid? i'm not afriad of atheists(whatever floats your boat,that's my thing)
oh..and the statement about "understading whatever is plausible" I meant that on all levels,including myself. I only understand what i know and I try my best to live in respect to others. Atheists also live by this
Oh lol and i'm not one of those "God FEARING" people...God is love and love along...not wrath or punishment.
ummm...God fearing implies that we're afriad of being destroyed if we don't embrace a certian churches beliefs
