LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMM MMMM!!!!!
I would have quoted you but man it was a WoT.
Okay, I love the story first of all.
I too believe that established religions can and do become corrupted. Man can use any power to obtain advantage over others and will use that if left unchecked. Religion is not immune to this corruption. But belief in God should not be a religion in my view, it should be a personal experience.
I believe in the supernatural force of God. I like how you are searching.
There is absolute truth. I have put my faith in my God. If I die and nothing happens to me then I have lost nothing. But if I die and go to heaven, I have gained everything.
I do not hold to the belief that if you have a belief in God you can not strive to answer the questions that surround us as people. Science is in simple terms the observation of things. This observation can happen whether or not I believe in a God. And if I truly want to know and understand I will push until I have the answer. I have heard many people say that creationists just say God did it. That is not true. Yes, a creationists starting point is God did it but that is not the ending point. I would love to figure out how God did it, to understand how a sun can burn like it does. But alas, I have been blessed with a financial and economic mind though I have had my share of chemistry, biology, and my favorite physics. So I can state that belief in God does not cause people to stop striving for answers. Do you think that someone wanting to find the cure for cancer who is a believer in God would simply go God will do it.
I do agree with everyone is entitled to their beliefs.
