My Words on God

I am coming out of hiding to talk about this for a minute)

I can not be the only one who is growing tired of seeing the "God’s Word" posts every 3.5 seconds.

I have never been of the mind set that you could influence belief in a higher power by forcing content on someone. You can have someone read those passages but you can not force them to believe it. The only thing they are doing is making the folks that are already believers cover their faces because they are ashamed to be associated with fanatics that post a million times. Not to mention driving the people that are not believers farther from the Word.

Mankind’s biggest fear is losing control. So forcing someone to read something and not giving them the choice about it is plucking the string of that fear. The choice to believe in God is one each person should make on their own and come to alone. It is a journey that starts in the mind and ends in the heart. You start with trying to be logical about the existence of a higher power and you can only end with what your heart tells you is real.

So what do I believe?

Well that is not important. My opinion and belief could only act as a vote cast in a poll that ends up misleading in the hearts and minds of millions. Don’t believe or disbelieve because everyone else does. And don’t let yourself be bullied by fanatics who feel like brow beating you into submission is the right way to go. Religion is not about submission, it’s about love.

Good night world.
