Amending #17
After reading my friend, Dido's, list, I wanted to clarify an item on my own.
I live a quiet, personal faith, resulting primarily from a traumatic experience in1994. My belief in God, however, does not necessarily conform with the tenets of any organized Christian religion. I don't believe in Hell, but I do believe in Heaven, or at least, that the fundamental essence of what make you You does not die. If it is not housed in a particular physical location, than it cannot be confined or constrained by our physical body. I have had conversations with my mother since her passing that were more real and more meaningful than many of the conversations we had before she passed. Who can say that those experiences are any less real than any other? Likewise, who can say that any person's beliefs are better or worse than anyone else's? I believe in Jesus; just like I believe in Mohammed, in Buddha,in Abraham Lincoln, in Einstein, and in Khalil Gibran. I do not worship any man, preferring to live in accordance with the simple premises of right and wrong, good and evil, insight and ignorance, and kindness and courtesy.
