Statement of Belief

Before intelligent design, here is a basic statement of belief written a year ago:

My belief is something only I can tell.
It is not theology.
I was not in Auschwitz, but if I was, it would not be theology that would keep my hope alive.


I believe what I believe because I believe it; my faith is not based solely on experience, but I have experienced much, and my experience has influenced my belief.

I do not believe what I believe because other people told me what I should believe. I do believe when what others have told me and shown me matches up. 
I believe in the absence of no hope of the truth.
I guess that could be redefined as a non-didactic faith.

I believe in the beautiful light.
I believe in good and simple actions that make the world and specific other people better.

I believe self sacrifice, humble service, and a forgiving heart to be the strongest weapons against evil and ignorance.

I believe God is like a parent, the perfect combination of Father and Mother.
I think God would be pissed if we wasted time arguing about God's gender.
I think God gets pissed when we argue about things at all.
Arguing and proving anything is bad energy.
Praying is good energy, even if you call it "good thoughts or intent", I think it is praying.
God wants us to pray.
If we pray every day, everything else will fall into place.
All people should pray,
Even if they are not "prayerful".
I think God would rather people pray, than be "prayerful".


I don't think we can understand all of the universe, but we can understand a lot of it.
I think religion is complicated, but the spiritual world is simple.
I don't think religion is good, but I don't think all religious people are bad.

I believe Jesus was who he said he was, we just don't always understand who he truly was.
I believe the world is a lot old than we think, and that God has been working with humans and all
creatures for a very long time. 

That said, we shouldn't throw away everything from the past just because during the last one hundred years we developed material centric and technologically advanced society.

I think that paradox is often the gateway to the truth.

I belief the truth must be believed, but often impossible to define.

I believed in the unknown variable of the known equation.

I believe in the sublime mixed with the ludicrous.

I think truth does not hold membership in denominations or carry a membership card.

I have explored many religions, and I have found the same problems in each.


I think we should stay away from religions and get closer to the Creator.

I believe we should seek after the creator and show the creator our love, and I believe we should love others and ourselves the way we love the creator.
