Hi Stimbo. I think looking at the words and actions of Jesus (whom I believe is God) provides a great insight for me into "what God wants."

I actually do not have to get up early to work. My husband had to get up early to work, and I like to get up with him to see him off and prepare his breakfast/lunch. I actually don't have a job currently. My husband is an Air Force pilot and we currently live in a very small town in the Middle-of-Nowhere, Texas. So I stay home and take care of house work and of our cats.
I agree with you that if I was born in the middle east I would probably be Muslim. I'd like to think I'd convert to Christianity, but I cannot say for sure since I have never been in that position.
Either way, I do not think the fact that there are many religions out there is a disproof of God. I believe it makes it tricky to *choose* one and have faith in it, but I do not believe it disproves all of them. In the end of the day, ONE of us is right... even if that is you, fellow atheist!
You're obviously happy with your religion. I should point out though is that you never had a choice in the matter.
Your indoctrination made sure of that. (I don't say that in a bad way)
If you were born a muslim, you would've been equally proud of that religion as the ONE TRUE religion. (Again via indoctrination)
An extremely small % of adults find god or convert outside of childhood indoctrination.
Anyway, on to the serious stuff now! I've got "HachiBabba", my chocolate oriental sitting on my lap as I type this! (spoilt beyong repair)
What sort of cats to you have? We have several "crazy" cat ladies here also.
catch...
I'll agree with you there.
Of course, I'd like to think that if I was born into any other faith I'd somehow find my way to Christianity, but chances are I probably wouldn't.
Aww, I love the name!! All my cats are short hairs of no particular breed. I adopted 2 of them from the humane society and they were my first cats. But once I moved to this town, I started feeding all the strays (there are a lot of strays here), and ended up adopting 4 of them off the street. I just couldn't leave them! So now I have 6 total.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
