Instead of walking, which releases stress. Instead of enjoying the five minute conversation, we dread the hours of endless chatter to avoid feeling alone. Instead of working all day to feed your loved ones, we work at jobs that are mundane and only give us money to waste on entertainment.

If I could live however I wanted. I would walk all day, to travel to new places. I would work when I found someone in need of a hand or to trade for a place to stay. Everyday I would meet a new person that would willingly tell me their story.

As for my belief in God, I believe there is a God. From there I am working on it. I know that you should not judge people for their religion, but that does not mean you have to condone their practices or allow them into your home. Everyone is a person and they deserve your respect, worry about your well being. Understand that you might be ignorant to the truth and make sure your beliefs suits what you want for yourself.

My catholic grandmother ignores certain major Catholic tenets as she considers them immoral or even prejudicial yet she still considers herself a Catholic. I don’t criticize her for that, I just think it is an interesting development and I wonder if it is a modern aspect to religion or if in the past people were like that as well.

While we were talking about what my religious beliefs were because she told me that she knew they were different but had never asked. She was wrong on what my beliefs were but we did differ, I have a biased opinion that she just did not want think of me as more then some guy in high school.

Well I have a strong belief that we are not in the world of God. Biblical reference: Eve ate from the tree and was cast out of the garden.

I take that to mean that in God’s world humans were not meant to eat. From that point on we see countless ways that humans have deviated from God’s world.

I think that todays world is so hard to get by in because we are so far from the world of God. This fact has lead people further away from God, it has lead me closer to God. God judges us at the end of time, we have no right to say who is going to Hell or who is going to Heaven. Intent, will, asking for forgiveness and what we had to guide us, all play a part in how we are judged. I do not even know all those factors about myself, so who am I to say someone else is going one way or the other.

Muslim Extremist (Jehadists) are taught in preschool that their God, their country and there family want them to blow themselves up for their religion. So when they kill themselves, all that they ever knew was that was their purpose in life. I think the People that will go to Hell for that died many years ago, but I think there is still a chance that God will Judge that those who killed themselves, when it was all that they knew, belong in Heaven.
