Im sick and tired of all these people saying stuff like "there is no god" and "jesus was stupid he wants us to hate"
Luke 12:26. If you hate your father, hate your mother, hate your children, hate another man. you can NOT be my disciple.
Learning this makes me happy. The more i believe, the better i feel.
but the more i know, the sadder i feel.
It works like this. When you believe in god, then you know there is someone out there who will listen to you and not make fun of your judgment no matter what.
even if he doesnt respond or help, you know he is there watching.
While, when we know something does exist. its like "Hey yeah i saw that the other day", "Oh really, you wanna see it again?" "Nah im fine, dont need to see the same thing twice"
Its like you see a car and cant believe its so awesome. when you get it, you cant believe you own it.
but then you see it over and over again and its like "well im happy i have it, but now i want something else"
and you get an empty feeling.
Leave religion alone and let those who want to believe in god to be happy in their "imagination"
and you can be happy with your non-traditions.
Tradition always comes before Advancement, no matter where you come from.

I don't quite get what you are driving at. :)
Belief in something, be it God or anything else, is a purely personal matter. So, why do you thing someone is against your belief? Why do you feel that non believers don't want you to believe?
Sometimes, arguments do take place on Mylot... these are open discussions. It doesn't mean that nonbelievers don't want you to believe in anything. So, why feel sick and tired of what they say? Surely they have a right to say they don't believe? Just as you have a right to say that you believe? Come on, there is something called "freedom of speech," correct?
Cheers and happy mylotting

Hey, thank you for the response, especially a positive response.
I like where your going, but i cant believe you never met people who judge you for being Catholics or Christian. Honestly i haven't really been fully commited to this religion. but i still believe in it(still doesnt make sense)
But people do try to put me down and they put others down and its sick. i feel happier believing than not believing.
