I'm not well versed on the text of various religions or faiths because I am committed to my faith and its practices. Just because I believe in God doesn't mean that there is a God; it means that I believe that there is a God. A God in whom I believe created man in is own image and who God also gave a free will to either believe in him or to not believe in him. I think most people would agree that mankind possesses a free will regardless of how they exercise it. And from the text which guides my faith "God is Love". Or for those who think primarily with the other side of the brain, God=Love. Love is to dwell in mankind and be shown one towards another. So with that said I can see why so many today are finding it hard to believe that God exist. So much focus is on the negatives and little is said of the positives.
Religious beliefs are being forced onto society and that's not Love. It's goes against free will. Its not of God. Individuals must come to their own realization and experience with Love; of their own will. I can't force anyone to Love or accept my Love; that's against free will, and its not God. I can show Love towards all mankind and they can choose to accept it or not; that's free will, and its of God. Sharing the abundance of what I am blessed with, with my neighbors (of varying faiths) is showing Love, and proving that God does exist. And what if I'm wrong about God? What if all my beliefs that he exist are wrong? At the end of my life I would not have done any more than share Love and the Fruits of my labors with my neighbors. So I'm curious, is there any Love in your neighborhood?

I'm not religious, & have nothing against people that are. I just think "god", "Darwin" and all such contentious issues that people have a tendency to form distinct opinions on should kept them just as that - opinions. Not some sort of power to coerce others with differing thoughts to fall into line with them. It's no wonder with this level of mentality going around that the world is looking increasingly scary to those with "clearer vision" .....may the omnipotent being be merciful..... _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/
