I guess I'm an Agnostic leaning in the direction of atheism. I don't have the courage to accept the fact that we're all alone in the universe and not part of any divine plan. People believe what they need to believe and so long as they don't infringe on the rights of others I have no problem. I would never try and persuade anyone to give up their religious beliefs. If you have a faith that works for you---great!stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-31252228503883133122013-06-18T13:21:35.699-04:002013-06-18T13:21:35.699-04:00This is an ongoing brouhaha that will never end.
