20. This is how I look at religion now:

Sat Jan 12, 2013, 04:49 PM

Jan 2013

I was raised a Protestant. Married a Catholic. Have close Jewish & Muslim friends. We were all raised in our prospective "religions", but yet we respect each others beliefs and do not end in a harangue argument over it all, ever. We love each other and wouldn't think of imposing our beliefs on each other. The things that we all have in common is a being of spirituality, and a belief that "God", whatever he is/was is present in each of us. God is in us, not somewhere in another world up above or in the afterlife. When I said, I have doubt in God, I think I AM reaching back to that God I was taught about as a child, that you spoke of.

Maybe what I have lost faith in is human beings. We are more knowledgeable than ever, Yet we are bereft of stopping the violence and hate in our world.
