When it comes to religion, I consider myself having none. I do not wish to be bound by a sect. A sect tells you the rights and wrongs of the world according to a book written by man. I respect that, 'cause that's their belief. I respect all beliefs, actually, it's just that I have my own.
I believe in God. He guides me through my everyday life, and brings me through hardships, as well as fun times. He is the root cause of everything that may, or may not happen to me, cause he has plans for me. For me, God can be extremely evil, and also be extremely good, for I do not believe that He is lesser in anyway to anyone, or anythings. He is the embodiment of all that there is. He is omnipresent. He is the darkness the embraces the light, and makes you feel coldest, but He is also the light. He has many names, that different sects call Him by, but it only leads up to Him.
I have a vast view of who or what God is to man, but I only keep it to myself, unless asked by a certain person. But, lately, I have encountered people, mostly Catholics(no offense), that push to me a certain God that they believe is the 'real deal'. I get it, and I believe it. Their God is the 'real deal', cause I believe it, but then they try to push to me what their book says I should and should no do. You see, this is what really bothers me. Their definition, although might be true, does not apply to what I believe in. I respect that. That's what they believe in, but to tell me that that is the 'truth', and other religions are nothing but fake stories, that's a tall order.
I believe that God is not someone who'll condemn a certain race for not believing in The Bible, but worships Him in the name of Allah, under the book Quran. Love for God is not a religion. Nothing can bind it to one sect, and claim it as theirs, but that's what's wrong with the those who are hypocritical about those outside their belief. They tend to hurt people, or anger them by pushing what they think is the 'truth' to everybody that there is. It's like it's their duty to the God they believe in, but forgets that God wants us to love one another. I don't need to expound cases like this, 'cause, sad to say, it's abundant.
I don't expect people to respect me, at all, in my views, 'cause it might go against theirs. So the easiest way to say avoid the unnecessary debate about beliefs, I tell them I'm agnostic. I tell them I believe in science, and I'd accept nothing, unless science proves it. It really pains me to deny my belief in Him in front of others, but I want to avoid quarreling about Him as well. A lot have tried to convince me about the science thing, but, if you know who you believe in, it's easy to see the holes in one's point. I have never lost a debate about my facade of science being the truth above all, but I'd gladly avoid one, if I can, all the time.
The point is, you believe in God, yet you forgot respect. You respect no one in His name, and you smile proud about it. Quarreling in His name, with people who you're suppose to be your brother/sister in His eyes, will not make Him smile. Just learn to respect. It won't hurt anybody.
