(continuation of discussion)

. . . I am no expert, but I have constantly been searching for the truth, something that I thank whoever "God" really is. I believe that there can exist a true religion that is not utilized by Man to capitalize on other men. Where people truly want to do what is right. If I find this, I will not follow blindly, I will follow because I have researched, and I know it is right.

I know that "God" does exist, as I feel it. My conscience is my link to him/her. In spite of all the wrong that I have seen other religions do, I believe that there is a possibility of discovering (not creating) a religion that does not hurt people, rather it helps them, does not take, rather gives, does not request, yet offers.

I'm with you, God is God no matter what. It's time people start with faith in God and eliminate the self-serving religious intolerance of each other. I believe that religion is generally people's efforts to cover up their own shortcomings. But, on the other hand, to have faith in God is to begin with knowing that we don't compare to God. The God of all has to meet certain criteria to qualify as God. It seems like every religion has started with some important, consistent, meaningful truths and twisted them into self preserving actions that exclude anyone who doesn't agree with their ideas. Even Christianity has been made into extreme forms of faithless actions to cover people's own sins when the Christian Bible states very clearly over and over again that there is nothing a person can do to be worthy but believe that God has met one of His qualifying criteria by providing reconciliation for people to have Him in their lives. I have always enjoyed studying various religions and nonreligious people's ways of life. It's just too bad that people miss the point of faith in the God of grace, the only one who originally expresses Himself from outside of time and space and leaves people's will totally open to choose for ourselves.
