i totally agree with you, tallmacky. actaully i must say i agree with the past few posts.

anyways... i think you could have a feeling that there is something greater to believe in. It\'s important to recognize whether you are believing in something you have discovered on your own, or if you are believing something you were told at some point in your life. Faith in God is often faith in some person who told you about God in the first place. On the other hand, I wouldn\'t say people only believe in God because they are told to. If you lived a secluded enough life i\'m sure it\'s possible you would still believe in SOMETHING... I think the details are unimportant. Then you find some religion and you\'re like \"YEAH!...i totally feel this way.\" It doesn\'t have to mean you are doing or believing what you\'re told.

A lot of this comes down to how picky you want to be. You can tear any belief or idea apart if you really want to. That\'s why I think it\'s a bad idea to stress over it so much. The belief itself really isn\'t so important, but its consequences ceratinly are. This is how I feel anyway. I mean, YOU can feel that YOUR beliefs are important, but it\'s not worth taking down those of others if they really don\'t harm you in any way.
