I believe that Christ died for our sins and shed His blood for all of us and rose again to save us, even those who don’t believe in Him. He gave us our free will and unfortunately with free will comes extremists. Whatever faith it is, even those who don’t believe, have people within their “group” who take things to a level that is just sickening. The problem with people of faith is that they get set on one part of their religious teachings and if taken out of context can be disastrous. Take the Bible for example. I could find and show several verses about death chaos and destruction, but I choose to actually read the entire thing and see nothing but grace hope and mercy. All throughout history man has had a longing to believe in something more. More than what we can touch, feel and see. I have met so many people from different religions and have had atheist friends whom I love dearly, but just because I believe in something they don’t doesn’t mean we couldn’t get along. In the end regardless of beliefs we are all human. We are all the same. Until the day we die we will never know the answer of what’s next, but I refuse to believe that with the perfection of the cosmos and the balance of the elements that we are just here to make the world a better place and then just die. What you call false hope I call meaning. What you call absurdities I call morals that if practiced, whether you believe in God or not, would make us all love one another and have that respect for one another that each person so dearly yearns for.

Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.
