I just don't see any reason to attempt to take responsibility for myself away from myself. I need no such assurances, my life is what I make of it. Nothing more, nothing less.
Because from my observations, that is one of the main reasons people I've known have believed. They don't want to believe there is no higher power guiding them, and that there really isn't much point to there life, unless they give it one. Or something like that, it's only my thoughts, does it matter whether you see the relevance?
i was just confused and asking for clarification, i wasn't attacking. i'm sorry if it sounded like i was. at any rate, my being a "believer" doesn't negate my taking responsibility for my life, the quality of my life and my decisions.
well, i know what you're saying. i know some of those people, too. what's funny is oftentimes they're weaker in their faith because of the conditions they put on it, the dependency they have. it's like their belief is their drug, an addiction. an addiction they dont' really understand, as well. it's kinda sad. people like that worry me.
god is too busy with the entities in other galaxies to pay attention to me. He/She loves me, but that is just the way it is.
