I've discovered something about me, reading this, I'm totally ignorant about most religious matters... but 'I LIKE IT THAT WAY!
I sang hymns at school..I was in the school choir and I actually enjoyed it, as I like singing
but the 'stuff' we were singing about meant nothing to me.
I went to Sunday school, cos my best friend went and it was something to do.. (TV was soo boring on Sundays) but again, it meant nothing to me!
A couple of years back, religion come up in a conversation with my parents and it was quite a revelation to find out that my parents 'believe' in God?
I don't think they'd ever mentioned religion before that.. and none of us are Christened.
I've simply never had the urge or need to find out more and i'm quite happy in my ignorance.
I don't believe and that's it!!
I'm tolerant of 'others,' as long as they don't try to force their beliefs on me or think they're better than me.
I have a clear understanding of what's right and wrong, I don't need 'fear' to force me to make the right decisions.
I don't hate anyone.
I feel sorry for people who's lives are full of constraints and rules..who've been indoctrinated into believing 'other' people, who've been indoctrinated into 'other' religions, are evil. In my eyes the whole thing is stupid!
Sadly, like it or not, religion 'does' seem to be the cause of most of the trouble and I believe the world would be a better place without it!
