Yes, I am a believer. However, what I speak of is not about my faith or people’s lack of faith or disbelief. The reason that a person is sad and in misery is because of the bitterness that is thrown like stones.There is an old Japanese saying from the book of Bushido. Though I can not quote it exactly it goes like this, “ One should hear about all ways and grow closer to their own way. For if one cannot hear of others ways and not put it down or become angry. Then the belief in their own way is of little use.” Though we are all guilty of such a thing in some ways the difference lies in me not trashing people who think differently than I do. Yes, I may comment about how sad and silly it is to tear people down and seek to mock other’s beliefs on purpose. There is an inherent sadness to such an action, evidence of unrest and a lack of peace within one’s self with such actions. It does not mean I do not respect their choice to not believe it is only that I do not respect their choice to not allow people to have their belief with respect. To believe or not to believe is a choice. However, so is giving respect to people and conveying what you believe with tact. The church has been awful, treacherous even, but religion and the gospel that I believe in are vastly different. Anyway, I respect opinions but I do not respect those who lash out with hatred and malice to try and convey that opinion.
