My beliefs

God is real, but he (she, it, they) doesn't have a chosen path for us, nor a single religion that is the "true" or "right".

Everything happens for a reason, but quite often that reason is our own stupidity.

There is some, but very little, divine intervention. No amount of belief can free you from the fact that you have free will, and therefore the responsibility to know what you are choosing to do.

To truly love is the hardest thing in the world to do, to never try is the loneliest.

We all possess a soul, some are just more in tune with what it is telling them.

To kill in the name of religion is the biggest paradox in the world. All religions, at their core, speak of love, not hate.

Just because someone is different than you does not make them a potential enemy rather, it should make them a potential friend. The world would be incredibly boring if we all looked and acted the same.

Every human being has something to offer, telling someone they don't just makes it harder for them to realize what that something may be.

Taking advantage of others is the biggest crime a human can commit, you are telling that person that they do not matter and that you are better than they are. If you have the opportunity to take advantage of someone you have the same opportunity to help them realize and correct an area of weakness.

Money is, perhaps, the worst invention of all time. It turns people from a need based existence full of humanity into a want based one of self-gratification.

No amount of money, status, or power will ever fill the void in your soul, the warmth of a loved one's touch will do wonders though.

I would agree, very well said. I was just talking to a friend about killing in the name of religion yesterday... I don't get it.
