I have struggle with this for a long time. I have no answers. The best that I can come up with is that God, if there is a God, is an intelligent, creative being with a free will. So are we. Approaching a relationship with this being by any of the man made religions that exist seems to me to be in opposition to those qualities. His and ours. Maybe in the future....

People talk of how fine tuned the universe is, but is it? For the most part man lives in pain and suffering.

I think there is a difference between a finely tuned universe and the lot of biological beings. We are frail beings in a violent universe.

I would think if God exist, then he would've gave us a clear just revelation....to all man, instead of first just one tribe.

That would seem like the right thing from our point of view.

The best I can do is be sincere in trying and try to love others, but sadly that isn't enough for any of the religions..

I stopped worrying about that a long time ago. You can't please them anyway so why try? I think that I am more tolerant of them than they would be of me. Who's right?

enough babbling...

Babbling is my second language.
