Tough to answer some of those....considering that I might believe in something, but there are conditions that apply.
I may believe in God, but I have no problem with the belief, or non-belief of an atheist. And I have no problem with a different belief.
Each to his own.
Which is why I can't stand the judging, or the criticism. I know a lot of good religious people....and I know a lot of religious people who simply use their 'religion' as a means to have power over others.
But, I attest that more to religion simply being a tool that people can use in both good/bad ways.
Its not the 'religion' aspect that creates the problem. Its the idea of something being there that allows someone to exert control over someone else.
If religion didn't exist....something else would fill its place.
Trust me, I hate organized religion as much as the next person. I despite and loathe what people like Moody, Chick and a few others have done to Western Society. But, in the belief of a 'free country'....I try not to degrade people for believing in THAT version of Christianity.
Again, each to his own.
