God and what is believed

Tweet

I was reading the quote from Dan Jackson in the O magazine. It made me think.... I am Bahai as some of you know. This is my belief.....for nearing 30 years This is personal...between me and God My parents were Da= catholic and Ma= Baptist both are fine but didn't fit me and I can only believe what I CAN believe and I realized that soooooo many people out there think they will get to Heaven on the "grandfather clause" And I realized for my parents to have strong faith wasn't enough...I won't be grandfathered in due to family ties so I searched and found something I believe in. Please come to this discussion with respect.. This is a discussion and not meant to offend anyone..Everyone has a right to believe what they believe without being picked on. "I cannot hold up any book and say, 'Here. This is what I believe.' I do not know of any church where I would feel at home. But I do believe that what people call God refers to something real... I would even go so far as to say that this God of mine makes demands. To learn, to teach, to engage. To be aware of and respect the world around me. To acknowledge that there are things greater then myself and to be humble in their presence." -- Dan Jackson xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
