Do you believe; and why?

Not a surprise, the universe got me in this book. Really good stuff but hard to change 50 years of way of thinking. Still working on it.

With our finite mind we say: Hindu believe this...Muslim believe this....Jews believe this....Christian believe this...You cannot all be right. I believe God can be all things to all people. And stand by the assertion that the only way to not accept his grace is to mock him. 

They can't be all true but they can be all not true. I use not true instead of wrong because nothing is wrong.

BTW, this is not good nor bad, it's just what you decided to believe and it's OK.

There is no accident, everything has a meaning and if you believe in something, it's planned from the start. 

But other beliefs are ok too. 

When people try to convice you of their beliefs, in fact, they want to convince themselves. 

And if you ask the question : Why is there bad people, you will got the answer : What bad people ? You think they're acting badly ? Well, OK, these are wonderful opportunities to forgive.

And this is hard no to judge, to forgive everyone but there is no other way. 

If you ask the question : Will you forgive me ? The answer will be no ... Really ? Yes, because I never judged you and you're guilty of nothing. If I thought you weren't perfect I would have made you differently. 

This feeling to be more than the apple of God's eye ( and you got that feeling ) is like  weird because you think  you don't deserve it and he would say yes, you definitely deserve it. He just sees you as a wonder and this is what we are. Wonderful.

Speechless.
