"my truth" tells me that thier is somthing bigger allah, god, whatever you want to call it. thier is a special relationship that one can have.. that doesn't have to do with a building or nuns or any of that. i guess i am against organized religion but still belive.. and i recognize j.c. as a savor..and a "creator" who is respocible for this whole thing...
but, i also give evolutions and science its respect and rleize that some things jus happen becuase oranisms live, evolve and progress.

agnostic goes farther than a spiritual meaning... its basically someone who is open-minded to heresay until they see actual facts or see it for themselves.... someone who is open to the fact that there may or may not be a god, life after death, heaven.. etc...
im kinda between both of you guys. i believe there is a higher "being" God, Allah, whatever. but i look at God as a higher consouisness. "He's" like a thought to me... He's feelings to me. What is the one constant between people of any faith?? Love and Hope. 2 things that you can't really explain why they happen, but you feel them. I think that is "God" its not about what church you go to and what "god" you believe in. It's those 2 simple concepts.
life after death?? hope so, but if not wont be able to do anything about it.
and i let science have their fun with all this evolution and stuff. i think they have a good idea of how we got there with the evidence out there.
i think "God" is a hard concept for us to think about. Being human might keep us from seeing this higher form of thought, or being, which makes this hard to do. That's why i think it's an emotion/thought. that if there is life after death, my "mind" will be more clear and think in this higher frame of mind.
that's my beleifs... hope it makes sense
