Downeyfresh,

I continue to keep an open mind about all aspects. In fact, I was watching CSI (Las Vegas), the least likely show to get me thinking about religon, but Jorga Fox (plays Sara Sidle on the show) is a known Athiest. She made a comment on the show...something to the effect of "She beleives that people created the idea of GOD/Jesus so that they wouldn't have to take responsibility for their sins/actions".

When I heard her say that I thought to myself, What if what she said is the truth? It makes sense, right? I think that sometimes people have that need to have everything in black and white. I am one of those people. I prefer facts, and perhaps that is why it is so very difficult for me to wrap my head around the whole GOD subject. But, at the same time, I can not say for sure that he doesn't exist, because I DONT KNOW. I think that is why I am asking and persuing this so actively because I am curious, and because I have to listen to what my body is telling me and right now, and right now, it is leading me in this direction and I owe it to myself to keep an open mind.

I understand so much what you despise, people who preach the word one minute and the very next minute are casting judgment upon everyone. Nothing burns me more then someone like that. That is exactly how my father is. It makes me physically ill to think of how he carries himself like his %#@&#! doesnt stink. That is why I am pretty upfront with people about how far I will go with this subject.

Thank you Down for continuing to share your views with me. I do value your opinion and I always have.

Huggles,

Jen
