TRUE COLORS

I am involved in a handful of organizations, most meetings start with a prayer.

I was active in a protestant religion in my younger days, so I’ve said a few.

I saw the world in my 20’s thanks to the US military.

I saw there is more to this world than a single religion.

I must profess to believe in a supreme being in order to participate in some organizations.

I don’t know if there is a God or not.

If there is one, I am positive it is not what most of the worlds religions envision.

If I told people how I felt, I would lose much credibility in their eyes.

How could I help people through these organizations if I was looked on as a “nut job”.

Most likely I would be uninvited to be part of some of these groups, then how could I be a positive influence???????



Moral – pick your battles wisely if you want to do the most good while you are here.

A HIGHER PURPOSE

Well I have been spending all my spare time reading posts.

There are just too many entertaining story tellers floating around the inter-webs!

Anyway I thought of something to put out to contemplate.

I am not a religious person, but I do believe at if there is a God all he wants is for a person to leave the world a better place than when you arrived.

To me this doesn’t mean staying in your comfort zone of you religion or belief and being a good person. I think it requires you to cross that border and interact with the other comfortable groups out there; otherwise there is no improvement in the overall picture of world peace.

I cannot think that a supreme being would not put this phliosophy higher than the typical religious dogma of  restricting oneself to a strict list of rules and doctrines to become a better person.
