>>>>Michael I think it's the opposite and I've offended you. I'm very sorry for that.
I just sense some hostility from your post, and you're one of the nicest people on here who will help anyone, so that worried me. But it was probably just a misunderstanding, no one's fault.
>>>>>It seems like you're a very God loving good person to me.
I consider myself a Deist (one who believes in a god in harmony with science and logic, but who does not operate in mysticism or revealed religion), and I have great love and respect for the universe and it's Creator.
But as a Deist, I do not believe in heaven, Jesus, the Bible, miracles, an afterlife, or anything like that. To believe in any of those things is impossible, the best anyone can do is "hope," and I do hope, but I could never actually believe them. I hope, but just cannot believe, ever.
I love the Deist God. No guessing games, false logic, or contradictions. Everything fits together. Life is given real answers.
But what if I'm wrong? I just feel worried for those I love and myself, that'll we'll be punished for following our logic.
>>>>>I think I need to read your original post again.
Thank you for even reading it the first time, it's nice to know someone is listening. I'm just shaken up tonight after finding out someone I love does not believe. I just don't want them to be punished for believing what they believe.
