Why do people take it upon themselves to try to save people? Why is everyone’s excuse or solution to everything religion. I’m not bashing anyone’s faith or beliefs but at the same time neither should you. I am agnostic. I don’t / can’t believe in some all mighty being that created earth and let’s murders and rapists walk free while children die slowly in ditches. I can’t believe in something that causes more wars in the world when it’s supposedly a concept whose foundation is love and respect for others. I’ve never read the bible; I’ve never surrounded myself in religion. In some respects I suppose this makes me naive to the whole reasoning but at the same time I think that there are many paths in life, some lead to God and some lead to personal growth through finding faith in ones self. I suppose I am a spiritual person. I’ve seen things and felt things (i.e. ghosts) that cannot be explained. I suppose there is a small glimmer of hope inside myself wishing that there is more to this ‘life’. I do hope there is something beyond this world, something more then absolute end. The thought of us living here and simply dying and we are no more is actually a rather big concept to get my mind around. Almost more so then there being some ultimate supreme being. I don’t know if this is something that I would have came up with on my own or if because our society so passionately preaches of a god, of a religion that it’s some how subconsciously engrained in me. But at the end of the day I am a good person whether or not I believe in your religion or anyone else’s. I don’t need saving.

I disagree that someone who barely knows me is trying to save me. No one that i truely know is trying to preach to me to 'find god'.
