I take the attitude that, in general, what goes around comes around, and people who are evil will get their just rewards, ans are people who treat others well, If it doesn't even out in this life, it probably will in the hereafter. my dad says what i belieeve doesn't necessarily jibe with what any major religion espouses, so I'll probably grow up to be the female version of Jospeh Smith and start my own crazy church. He also says that when I do this, he's not coming to my church and he will not donate any money to it, either.<br /><br />Why would I want to start my own religion? how foolish can he get?<br /><br />AlexisAlexisARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797016673203467911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-49850076114435378152011-06-17T16:08:02.748-07:002011-06-17T16:08:02.748-07:00It's really really pathetic when you're je...It's really really pathetic when you're jealous of a small child, especially your own. I have family in this capacity. And it never ceases to amaze me the lengths they'll go to get a little attention. Don't know how they became such narcissistic liars and so jealousy minded, but it happened and so that'll be their legacy. <br /><br />As far as everything happening for a reason, I'm not quite sure I believe that, either. I have trouble believing that God rolls like that. There's God, there's Satan and there's just simply being human. I don't understand how Caylee could have died for "God's plan" if humanity has the gift of free will. This isn't Abraham and Isaac. Of course I’ll never understand this and it’s perhaps even pointless to try and hash something like this out without getting into a religious slump. I do know that it’s probably not best mentally to believe in something like karma. Believing that the hardships one suffers will result in mortal reward will just result in depression if the reward never comes. I don’t necessarily believe that God rewards us here on earth. My step dad and I argue about this sort of thing a lot. How we get to heaven, what God does to us and what he doesn’t… things of that nature. Last discussion was about Bibles. I vowed never ever to talk to him about religion ever again. He’d say that Caylee died for God’s plan and that Casey has a chance at eternal life if she accepts Jesus as her Savior and becomes saved. And I say that if she does she’ll have to spend a whole lot of time in purgatory… etc. And then we’d get into this whole big discussion on what the criteria is to get into Heaven. <br /> <br />Anyway… I liked how you ended this post, and I look forward to hearing more commentary from you on this topic. You could be a “Talking Head”. :)Beccanoreply@blogger.com
