But I believe in God but along with that I have Faith that he's real. And the more I study him through scripture and things like that, the more I know him... if that makes sense.<br /><br />I don't feel funny or feel like I'm talking to myself. I kneel down and I pray to Him. I talk to him. I have received answers from him. I truly believe that. He is real to me. I know someday when I pass away that I will see Him again... As much as He isn't to you or some of your readers. <br /><br />But I really did love to read how you came to your decision of not believing in Him. Whether a person believes in God or not... the important thing is we get along despite the difference in beliefs.<br /><br />You're a great writer!Shelle-BlokThoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04348925911858411809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32807657.post-8408995346289810812010-09-28T08:49:00.922-05:002010-09-28T08:49:00.922-05:00Hmm...

I guess the whole point is to accept we aren't the end all - be all to the universe, and you don't need to believe to learn that lesson.<br />I do feel better when I pray, though.

Sometimes I think I teach them about God just so they'll have something to reject later on. <br />Love this. <br /><br />p.s. And since we are still enemies, I have to add... If there is a god, you are probably fucked ;)<br /><br />XOXOKellyhttp://www.ordinaryartblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32807657.post-47271343004109643592010-09-24T17:10:30.114-05:002010-09-24T17:10:30.114-05:00This weblog is being featured on Five Star Friday ...This weblog is being featured on Five Star Friday - <br />http://www.schmutzie.com/fivestarfriday/2010/9/24/five-star-fridays-121st-edition-is-brought-to-you-by-samuel.htmlElan Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023867307505601913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32807657.post-34398442890783870422010-09-24T15:01:05.883-05:002010-09-24T15:01:05.883-05:00You're like a cooler Christopher Hitchens.You're like a cooler Christopher Hitchens.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13362358216011124986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32807657.post-84566132618044226972010-09-24T14:46:38.110-05:002010-09-24T14:46:38.110-05:00Really enjoyed that one. I've got one for you...Really enjoyed that one. I've got one for you: I kept praying every night even after I stopped believing. I felt stupid every time, but it was just such a habit, I thought terrible things would befall my loved ones if I didn't bless them. Eventually I moved from "God bless" to something really stupid like, "Universe, please bestow peace and happiness upon". I finally stopped doing it, and I don't even know when I did, I just realized weeks later that I hadn't "prayed" or "looked for blessing" in a long time.<br />I think sometimes I'm happier since I stopped believing in God, but sometimes I wish I could believe again. It kind of depresses me to think that if someone I love dies, they aren't in another happy-go-lucky world, they're just done. But I can't believe in what I can't believe.<br />Sorry, my comment has turned into a post;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32807657.post-59591051680921618302010-09-24T14:30:56.822-05:002010-09-24T14:30:56.822-05:00NiceNiceNathannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32807657.post-69000204988049955622010-09-24T14:25:32.584-05:002010-09-24T14:25:32.584-05:00Spirituality and religion are 2 different animals....Spirituality and religion are 2 different animals. Since I stopped believing in the concepts of god, heaven, and hell I've been much happier.<br /><br />The only things that ring true for me are that I'm not in charge of the world, we each have free will, and waking up on the green side of the grass is a good way to start a day.

And it will look at you with eyes of black glass.
