but seems frequently christian people tell me that without god we are all douches and if it wasn't for god there would be no good in mankind - so what do we say again for that?
sometimes i feel like 99% of people are pretty mean and it feels pretty spiritual when someone is nice to me, but i dont agree that without Christianity people are bad cus i know lotta nice people who aren't Christians. and seems to me like people on christian forums are the most mean, they don't use bad words but the things they say are much more mean IMO
Here in Texas it's primarily christian.. I've lived here my whole life, and can honestly say i've seen some very cruel things. The fact is most religious people see the Christian/Catholic etc.. religion as a cushion to save them from eternal damnation. These people actually believe they can do bad things (after all that is what Jesus died for right?) and just ask god for forgiveness. Then there ya go! It's like a big reset button.
I was raised in a primarily christian religious community. But early on i saw through their bull shit.. for this i was ridiculed at school. Even teachers acted like they hated me.. like i was some freak of nature. I gotta admit i let it get to me sometimes even tried to take my own life a few times..
I almost thank those people for showing me how NOT TO BE. Morals are something i have learned over my entire life. Through different people, different circumstances and trying to see everyone's point of view. Im still learning to this day...
I think having good morals is just trying your best to understand what is right and wrong.. I don't need a book to tell me to care for others.. I just do of my own free will. I don't need a book to tell me to be respectful.. i just am. I also don't need a book to tell me what is wrong... i'll make that decision for myself.
In a universe full of infinite possibilities what can happen, will happen.
