Religion to me is a personal thing. The way I believe is my own personal business and should not be pushed on anyone else is the way I see it. Nothing bothers me more than for someone to try and ‘convert’ me into thinking their way about a higher power or lack there of. I do believe in a ‘higher power’ but if I call him God, Jehovah or whatever, that’s my choice and mine alone.
I do wish that everyone had some type of relationship with a ‘higher power’ that gives them a sense of peace and love instead of hate and fear but even then, I can not tell anyone else they are wrong for their beliefs, now can I? Oh sure I could try but why? All that would or could accomplish is to make them turn farther away from what I would be trying to pull them towards, now couldn’t it?
How can anyone look at a beautiful sunset, or see a baby being born and not believe in a higher power? How can anyone see the fury of nature and the wonder of it and not believe in a higher power? I don’t have the answer to either of those questions but then even with that, people have the right not to believe in anything except for the here and now.
I believe in the here and now and also in the there after. Who ever and how ever you choose to worship, may it bless you as much as I have been blessed. This I do pray.
