But, when you think about it, those ideas were all from other humans, helping out other humans to cope with the difficulties of life. The stranger ideologies are those that suggest for people to hurt others who don't believe, etc. But, again, those ideas are also...from humans. I'm not sad about my epiphany this week, that has made me incredibly happy.But, it's always a little saddening when people who claim to care about you, can't be happy for you, too.
Always remember to do what is best for you and not what is best for them.
Don't get me wrong, I try my darndest to get theists on here to see reason, but in the end I really just want them to admit that they truly don't need religion and that they merely choose to believe for the comfort it provides.
But that is who I am, and you are who you are, and the great thing about life is that two people can love and support one another despite their differences. Religious people seem to have a problem understanding that, because in the end most of them just want everyone to believe as they do.
