Without thinking a judgement would ever be made, people start to justify their actions immorally...and that ends up hurting everybody...

Thanks reverend,
I don't really get going on this because its circular. And you are happy with your faith. So anything I say sounds like an attack on your beliefs. And I respect your choice. That being said.
I have never felt the need to question our existence. Or where we go. Or where we came from. I don't really care. What is important to me is how I treat others. And that they give me the same respect. I am honest because I don't know how not to be. I am not that good a liar. I don't feel like I'm missing anything. My kids are honest hard working people. They voulunteer their time to help those less fortunate. They have a sense of duty and are couragous. And I'm proud of them. As you can tell. So I am comfortable in my beliefs. And its people like you that tell me I'm not doing well just reinforces my independence. I have no guilt. And not to be rude but I think that any God that feels the need to be praised has plenty of his own issues. (See I'm sorry)
But I will never buy the idea that were all just pawns in someone elses game. You can have it.
I hope were still friends. Because I just read where people like me are not trusted by folks like you.
