I believe in god, but I do not associate with any religion. I believe in god, but I do not believe in any modern incanation of religion.

To me.. god is incomprehensible, a being so powerful, so grand, that there could be no associations toward it made by us that could be anything near accurate. I think religions make far too many references to god in order to not be what would be considered true blasphemy by God. I think people that are adamant about religion are mostly misguided.. but some are downright evil. Or insane. (Pope: Masturbation=Sin, But you can only molest one kid without it being as much. -_-)

God is not a man.. God is not a woman.. God did not lay down laws against homosexuality, or there would BE no homosexuals. God did not say that only one people were the chosen people. God did not say that women should wear bedsheets. HUMANS laid down these rules.. for the most part only to make thier OWN LIVES better, usually at the extreme sacrifice of others.

In short.. I believe in god, but not in any organized religion. The Human body has over a Trillion cells working in unison.. something that complex that works as well as it does could not be just random. I believe something had to start what has us here today.. I believe there is a god because I believe that souls exist.. not in the way many of us believe, but how could there be something beyond our lives if there were not something to make that life beyond life? But the supposed rules that are laid down by the religions... well, in my eyes they are not of divine origin. "Don't eat pork."? Please..

The only thing I think is required to get into heaven is to try your best to be a good person. I don't mean a complete buhddist pacifist that doesn't harbor any anger against anyone.. because that is against the nature that God created.. but don't go around killing, making other people's lives miserable.. That kind of thing. Trying your best I believe is the most God would want to ask of us, unless Heaven and Hell are like what they are in the South Park movie, with Heaven having a population of like 1,482 and Hell having one of 640,756,468,778,456,156,622..

"I believe in God and an Afterlife only because Energy cannot die.. it can only change form." -Einstien, paraphrased.
