We're not so different

If you know me, chances are you know I don't follow any religion. You may know that I sometimes rail against Christianity.  You may also know, I have similar feelings for most religions.

What you may not know  is,  I have no desire to end your religion. I will never knock on your door at 7:00am Saturday morning to tell you, " God does not exist. You are not going to Hell if you don't change."

I do not wish you harm because you pray to a god of your understanding. Regardless of whether it's  Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Santeria, Sikhism, Hinduism,  Paganism, or whatever, you are very close to my feelings on religion. That is, you disbelieve all of them, save yours. I just don't believe yours either.

I have no belief in 4,200 religions, the theist has no belief in 4,199 religions.
See, We are the same :-)



Namaste.

forgive me

We see the idea of forgiveness bantied about a lot in relation to religion. I'm not really sure I need to be forgiven for much, on a spirital level anyway.

I have wronged a bit in the past. I think most of the ladies have forgiven me my transgressions.

But this makes me question the need for forgiveness from a creator type being. Why would he need to forgive us for acting like he made us ?





Yes, forgive me my personal transgressions. Punish me if I break the law. But, why would I seek frgiveness from a god that created me to be how I am?
