What do you believe? Options

[Badman]

I haven't seen one of these yet... and it always seems to generate a firestorm of conflict so...

What religion are you or what are your beliefs?

I looked up Live fans from facebook and found that most were christians. Although, most people are I just want to know what the real fans think.

This song from Rush's new album Snakes and Arrows says it better than i ever could.

Faithless

I've got my own moral compass to steer by
A guiding star beats a spirit in the sky
And all the preaching voices -
Empty vessels ring so loud
As they move among the crowd
Fools and thieves are well disguised
In the temple and market place

Like a stone in the river
Against the floods of spring
I will quietly resist

Like the willows in the wind
Or the cliffs along the ocean
I will quietly resist

I don't have faith in faith
I don't believe in belief
You can call me faithless
I still cling to hope
And I believe in love
And that's faith enough for me

I've got my own spirit level for balance
To tell if my choice is leaning up or down
And all the shouting voices
Try to throw me off my course
Some by sermons, some by force
Fools and thieves are dangerous
In the temple and marketplace

Like a forest bows to winter
Beneath the deep white silence
I will quietly resist

Like a flower in the desert
That only blooms at night
I will quietly resist

i believe that this world and everything natural in it is too amazingly beautiful and perfect to be here by chance. i believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. all of this i know. is this something that i was taught? sure. but, i was also taught trigonometry (sp) but, i don't know a lick of that. i read the bible and as old as it is... it all applies to our current world. i believe that God expects perfection because that's what He gives. and we are so far from perfect that not one of us would stand a chance of leaving this world and being with our Maker. that is unless we could offer a sacrafice that isn't marked by $ signs, and that isn't staind with our sins... that leaves only one option... the perfect sacrafice... Jesus Christ. He didn't have to die, but He didn't want every single person to burn in a lake of fire, so He gave everyone the option to believe in Him and avoid the heat and accept the glory and grace of God. that's what i believe.
