Religion is a "HOT" topic we can all agree. However, a lot of times an individual can confuse the right to religion for the right to spirituality. When giving ourselves to a higher force it is about a personal relationship. Religion fills us with hope in a hopeless time.<br /><br />-GRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6200727840511425792.post-17525682993489596972011-05-22T23:55:33.195-04:002011-05-22T23:55:33.195-04:00If you don’t believe in God I respect your choice,...If you don’t believe in God I respect your choice, but I do think you should use your logic and reasoning ability to come to an intelligent conclusion about “explosion to create life and evolution to create a cell” and see how it holds up to the theory of Evolution. You have the right not to believe in God and I respect that right, but you also have the right to know and find the truth. In my opinion, it is better to live like there is a God and not to find out later.

I also had to include Atheism as part of my retribution, which at the end I decided not to even mention it. I omitted Atheism because the information I found was improper and full of degradations to those who do believe in God. I looked on several sources and unfortunately the information was always offensive. I felt insulted and disrespected. As a believer, I supported my right without neglecting no one’s beliefs. I do agree with the right to be religious free and I agree that everyone has the right to believe in any religion they want BUT, it goes both ways, religious people must respect non-religious ones and vice-versa, sadly to say, it is not what I found on the websites. RESPECT is the key to a peaceful community.

You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is beneficial." 1 Corinthians 10:23<br /><br />Thankfully, we live in a country where religion is not enforced. (If you were in the middle east, you'd be one of them whether you liked it or not -- God bless USA). But the thing with religion is too many people have such high expectations as if their believers would receive some sort of superhuman power. This is not the case, catholics, santeros, muslims, christians, are ALL HUMAN! all prone to vulnerability, all prone to temptation, all prone to being weak & failing, all prone to mistakes & errors. Holding a microphone or a bible does not make them perfect (the same way you can fall, so can they --- so we're all hypocrites in our own way) What seperates them from each other are what they decide to believe in. Everyone should have the right to belive in what they want, because God is SUCH a Gentlemen, that He waits to come into your life, with your permission.<br /><br />"Only fools say in their hearts,“There is no God.” Psalm 14:1 --KBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6200727840511425792.post-85575256289018733632011-04-20T19:37:09.970-04:002011-04-20T19:37:09.970-04:00I agree that we have the right to chose our religi...I agree that we have the right to chose our religion or non religion.

One cannot judge another for not believing in a higher power or in their specific religion. Dictionary.com defines an Atheist as “a person who denies or disbelieves the existence of a supreme being or beings”. I have to agree with this. Most Atheist belief in love, the beauty of the universe, the joy of inquiry and discovery but when faced with believing in a higher power, they don’t. From what I have come to understand, most Atheists believe on what is real and what can be seen and felt. People should not discriminate against these groups because like us, they are humans and they are entitles to believe and chose what to believe in. <br />MelBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6200727840511425792.post-85665975107413163502011-04-18T19:32:29.168-04:002011-04-18T19:32:29.168-04:00I love this topic!!!

Although I believe in many things, I surely am not going to let someone else influence what those things are. Has anyone looked up the definition of religion? If you do, you will get different interpretations of the meaning. Just because you don't believe in "Religion" surely does not mean that you do not believe in anything. I believe in me.

Obviously, if we will acknowledge the right to believe in any religion of our choice then this should also include atheism. Atheism is a belief in the non-existence of a deity or whether the person associates any meaning to the terms "God" or "deity." Many people have held this form of belief (atheism is not a religion) sometimes due to the ideals held in the scientific community of having no evidence of such circumstances. According to George Ricker an atheist himself, “Atheism is the absence of god-belief. All else is embellishment. Atheism has no dogma, no rites, no holy books, no places of worship and no clergy of any description. It offers no moral guidance, no political opinions and no world view.” I personally feel as if this has been the least controversial view of personal ideas because they do not claim of being the ideal views to uphold like many religions go around stating. We have never heard of atheists rallying for their views or starting wars and this is why we should use them as an example of the way humanity should behave instead of criticizing them for not believing in a religion. <br />JanetJanet Almontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15245861904950072785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6200727840511425792.post-40088567500549198072011-04-16T10:39:17.141-04:002011-04-16T10:39:17.141-04:00I believe in the right to be free from belief (ath...I believe in the right to be free from belief (atheist).

I do have a religion but I don't practice often and I dont follow all the rules of it but I still consider myself that certain thing. It is hard to determine which belief system I fit into because so many are interconnected.
