So all you wanted was to know why I think what I do?
: It takes a strong person to hold onto their beliefs and persevere, especially in the world as it is. But it takes an awfully weak and ignorant one to turn a blind eye and believe that they themselves are the greatest power in the universe.
That's a nice statement that really gets the "just want to know" point across.
: If you think for two seconds that you get by all the troubles the world throws at you by yourself without some influence or help by a greater power, you're sadly mistaken, and I really feel sorry for you.
Once again, nice way of asking what I think. And I didn't ask for your pity.
: I don't mean this in an insulting fashion YC, I just think that one day you'll have something happen that's going to open your eyes, and you'll see why others and I think the way we do.
Hmmm, yes you are right, as soon as someone shows me some hard evidence that god exists I will believe in god, until then not likely. Also, you can't say stuff like the stuff above and then turn around and say you meant it as not insulting.
: I'm not saying you should run out and become a born-again Christian, but maybe just try to understand our ideas and beliefs a little before pounding some of this mindless prattle out on the keyboard.
I understand other's beliefs just fine. Also, the thing about the sheep, anyone who believes in god just to fit in as you suggested maybe I felt left out, IS a sheep. Also it's a free country I can say whatever I want where ever I want especially on this board.
