I rely on myself, believe in nothing but my own will. Nothing's going to ever change that.

Do I belive in God?
Yes. I belive in a higher power. that not being ourselves. But also I belive being a creature of "God" you are given free will. This is for you to decide the person you will become. If that scares ppl, well why? If you take away God you take away hope. Just being here in existance with no hope,why should anyone follow rules? Because we happen to be good creatures? Nope don't think so.
No I think if you do something bad you feel bad. Even savages that have never come across a global God know the difference between right and wrong, good and evil.
That being said God is among us but so is evil. One exist with the other. Ying and Yang. I don't think that when your dead your just dead. I don't know where you go but there is more. To think that mankind is the greatest power around scares me.
I'm not a preacher but I will say that my view of this subject is more along the lines of S. Book. And as for the show. If you watch the pilot when Book asks if he can say grace at the table everyone respects his silent prayer but Mal. But deep down, in the OoG eps Mals hopes where answered. That salvage ship didn't just happen to be there.Course nothings for free, you have to work for it. Even Inara has her God in the BDM.
So in ending, to each his/her own. What you belive is what you belive. Think I'll stick with having FAITH.

As a Taoist, I belive God is undifinable and impersonal. I do not believe in God as a creator, I belive all things are connected by a "Force" if you will(Though, not through "The Force" as defined By Star Wars). I think I always believed this even though I was raised Episcopalian, that Faith never made sense to me. I also believe what is Scientific Fact. I just recently found Taoism so I don't fully understand EVERYTHING about it, I just know that it feels right to me.

Can a people truly be called "savage" if they know right from wrong, good from evil. Couldn't we refer to the folks that have been taught better and use "God" as an ace in the sleeve as savages. I see them all the time. Feeding off the weak and young. Filling their pockets to the breaking point with gold while others scrape the earth for something to eat. Forcing their pride and vanity on others who should see themselves for the amazing beings that they are. God has been twisted and exploited almost beyond the limits of belief. I will hold onto my faith without reservation. Might not believe in the Christian god that has been altered too many times to count, but I do believe. For those who don't, I don't blame you. Believe in yourself and abilites. At least you believe in something.
Love to all the 'skins and 'coats.

In a word NVGHOST "Yes" I can and do see these civilized savages all the time. I am in agreement with you.

Been taught a long time ago that meetings have to be arranged for some folks with the Big Man. Brought sad tears to hear Denzel Washington say so in Man On Fire. Had to let go of alot of things. Vengeance is his for a reason, I see that now.

Religion (mysticism of any kind, really) in any and every form is incorrect and invalid. That's simply fact.

Quote:I really had no plans to say any more on the subject, but yeah, sometimes I do. People need to have their heads rattled once in a while, to shake them out of their mental comfort zone, or at least to make them think a little about the boundaries of that zone. I do it to myself all the time, and always welcome it when someone does it to me.

So I have to ask: what makes you call what I said "trouble?"
