what does it take to be a good person?
does it mean read the bible? go to church? follow the commandments?
but what if you dont? does that make you a bad person?
can a book honestly say who is good and who isnt? can other people?
how can one person stand at a pulpit and tell others not to judge, and then wonder to himself why "that person" had the nerve to come and worship in his church?
and what happens if you lost faith in religion?
what happens if you've never believed at all?
are we expected to be hypocrites, and go through the motions of being "holy", without believing it ourselves? can we really become such liars in our own skin?
when did being a good person rely solely on if we believe in something larger than us?
is there a religion where the people place their faith in their fellow people?
I cuss drink smoke gamble. I lie cheat and steal.
I also donate my time and money to causes and campaigns I believe in. I feel compassion and sympathy for those who need it. I offer my empathy and my heart freely to those who will accept it.
had I the money and education, I would devote my every hour to finding cures for everything imaginable.
as it is, I contribute to awareness campaigns, so that maybe someday something will be done.
with that said, how can someone tell me I'm not a "good" person?
is it because I don't fit the image? the criteria?
would I still be a good person if I went to church but didnt donate a minute of my time?
when did our religion begin to dictate our goodness?
will it ever change?
or are we stuck in a godless vs. godfearing society?
is this going to be our ultimate destruction?
