Does God / a supreme being exist?

[PoeticPixie]

The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking is a good read (remember his statement that pissed everyone off from that book?). Not that I'm strictly scientific in my beliefs, I kind of believe a little bit of a lot of different things. I'm not sure how to even put it into words. All that matters is that it makes sense to me. Spirituality is a very personal journey. I just wish some of the close-minded people I'm going to college with would admit evolution is a fact. I thought at the college level people would be smarter than this. I can understand some of the older crowd maybe being this way (older than me even/am 33). However, a lot of them are way younger than me as well! Anyways, it's nice to encounter a bunch of open-minded people (for a change). I got sick of pointless debates.

This.

The problem is that everyone gets all discombobulated about making other people believe what they do. Who really gives a shit?

It doesn't matter what religion you follow...most have the same basic precepts. I mean look at Buddhism and the Five Precepts:


1. abstain from taking life.
2. abstain from taking what is not given.
3. abstain from sexual misconduct.
4. abstain from false speech.
5. abstain from drinking fermented drink.

Some of that should sound familiar to Christians. Live a good life and you'll be cool with whatever is out there.

Peace.
