and May God Bless You

Tweet

In most social networks where they ask what your religion is I usually put other. I was raised as a protestant, a liberal church that was as much a social network as it was religion. We were family and close friends. Most of my family is still members of that church. Through my years I've read various holy books from multiple religions and philosophies. Pretty much drinking in as much knowledge and information as I could about each. I have found more similarities in them then differences. Many are outlines on living a good and prosperous life. I take those similarities and the teachings of my parents and live what I hope is a good life. With some of my beliefs I would cringe when I heard may God Bless You, because I've seen what evil has been done in the name of God. With some of the posts here, and on similar social forums on the internet, I have again learned some things. I try to not assume that others believe as I do, especially with how I reached my beliefs, no one has walked the paths I have. I also try not to assume that others will understand how I believe. I'm not sure where I am going with this post beyond just saying that I may say things like Bright Blessings, or Take Care, or have a good day, but in a way I am also saying that in your life and in your beliefs, may God Bless You.
