(51,076 posts)before the English settlers came here they had no organized religion other than many gods or what I think of as higher powers, ie thankful for what nature gave them. I used to think like Bernie but then somewhere along the road I realized I didn't believe in a 'god' by any stretch and once I've come to that realization I've been a much happier person. when I die it will be no different than the bug that hit my windshield last. I'll simply be dead. I'm not going to waste my time here in life worrying about should I do this or that because god wants me too rather I'll do this or that based on if its the right thing to do period. If its not the right thing to do I'll simply not do it.
Organized religion is why we have so much strife in this world today. Everyone needs to take John Lennons Song Imagine to heart, it's what I do and what I think we all should do.
Our Native American ancestors were pretty good stewards of this land, best I can figure out anyway.
At any rate I think the world of Bernie and one of the reasons I do is for that answer he gave. He is based on facts as he sees them and what he sees is a whole like what or how I see things too.
Bernie has my vote.
If I have to I'll vote Hillary in the general but only if I have too. She is way 100% better than anything the 'CONs have to offer.
