About Me:
I believe in The Infinite, The Eternal, the All-knowing Ever-Present Isifier. I believe in a loving "God", for lack of a better term, who denies no one, that's right NO ONE, love and eternal peace. I don't believe you have to believe in my beliefs to make it to "heaven", if that's what you wish to call it, and I don't think God cares much about your religion either. Religion is for you, not God. I think "heaven" has a freedom of religion policy, and your ticket in is a long list of things you've done to help others, and make a better world. I don't believe that this world was made so that in a few thousand more years "the believers will be taken to heaven, and the unbelievers die on Earth when the sun blows up!" No, I think that this world has a purpose, and a meaning. Something beyond being a test to see if you should go to heaven, really that idea makes no since to me, but there must be a meaning here, for this world. I think it's to make this place the way it could be. The way it should be. I bet we could feed the world, but we don't because we wanna be paid for the food we have. We could end war, but then all the bullets would go to waste. We could end hate, but then people would just get too friendly. We could all just accept love for what it is, but then people would just go around falling in love with the "wrong" people. And until people stop thinking like that, I don't think we have done our job.
I personally identify with Judaism and Unitarian Universalism, but I am a gentile so I am Noahide with intentions to convert to Judaism, and I don't believe that I can ever be truly happy with out the people, and traditions, of Israel. I hope to be very kind to anyone, and be open to their belief's and ideals even if I don't agree or accept them as my own. ___________________________________________________________
"If everyone cared, and nobody cried. If everyone loved, and nobody lied. If everyone shared, and swallowed their pride. Then we'd see the day when nobody died.... And as we lie beneath the stars we realize how small we are. If they could love like you and me imagine what the world could be." -If Everyone Cared ________________________________________________________

God,
I don’t know if you’re listening

But I’m here to talk.

Or if I ever will.
