So, long story short...

While treynolds7 was Learning to be human

treynolds7 made the mistake of

thinking I could figure it all out on my own

My Advice to You is

arrogance on either side of an argument, particularly in religion is ridiculous

Here's the whole story

I was raised in a protestant church, grew up believing everything I was told, and really never thought about questioning religion.

Then one day it was like a light went on in my brain and I couldn't shake the feeling that I had figured it out, that there wasn't a God and I could (sort of) reason my way through why this was.

Then a while later I went through some hard times and had to face some issues I had in my life. What it boiled down to was a life without the religious undercurrents was empty to me. And from learning to question my core beliefs I was able to confront a pride issue I had in believing I could "solve" the problem of whether or not there was a God.

I've learned to be an accepting person who can see both points of view and I think I can sympathize with any religious or non-religious view.

I simply choose to believe because its a deep and fulfilling way to live.

I also choose not to be arrogant toward other's veiws.

I think the world should try this more often.
