Blackbeauty, why not go a church of your choice andtalk to,perhaps, a minister there?

I read the bible from start to finish, (admittedly a long time ago); I found my best books were Job and Ecclesiastes, as for me they reflect the real conflict about the relationships between God and being a human being. ALL religions however,I have subsequently found, are open to all sorts of interpretation and all of them are about faith.

In my opinion anything can be believed, for example, ifI said thatsomething was made out of tin, was a god, allI need to do,is to convince others of this and keep encouraging them to believe using whatever notionsI think willhelp that to happen,andI too would have a congregation for life!

You could veiw me as a devil trying to put you off*, (asI would had believed at one time), or you could see me as a person who is telling you the truth. AsI said though, talk it through with a minister or an equivalent in your church.

* I do beleive that religion or Goddoes help people, it just depend on how you view it.
