I believe in Jesus Christ. He was the lord and savior of the world.
I don't need facts to back this up, I have faith. That is what it is all about. I believe in what he said and did. I try everyday to be the best person I can be.. even thought I fail on a daily basis just like everybody else. No one is perfect.

While I am a Christian I also believe that all religions of the world are basically saying the same thing. All religions give instructions how to live your life.. don't steal, don't kill, love your neighbor.. blah blah blah.

Humanity is a failure in this respect. People are so caught up in the details they fail to see the big picture. We need to look past our differences.. and stop trying to control one another.

I do believe in God. I do believe in Jesus.. he was a real person. I do not believe in organized religion. You don't have to go to church to be a good Christian. By doing that your giving up on God and focusing on a middle man. I don't want a preacher telling me what is right and what is wrong and what this means or that means. I read my bible and make up my own mind.

Humanity needs to learn to be selfless and love one another. We need to humble our selves before God our creator, and learn to share willingly. Otherwise... we are headed for a shit-storm.
