[Dean Thoreau]

I believe in God because:


I do not believe human kind could create anything without a little help.

I do not believe humankind could screw up so badly and come out smelling like a rose without a God.

I believe in God which is love, not vindictive

I believe in God which bonds us all together as brothers and sisters not just the ones I like.

I believe in God who I can curse, condemn, holler at and lament and still feel the warmth of God's embrace.

I believe in God who gives all humans the right to make their own decisions no matter how hurtful, painful, destructive those decisions may be; because without the right to make bad decisions we would not have the right to make the good ones.

I believe God's will is an excuse we make so we do not have to accept responsibility for our: lack of action, inaction, that causes people to die, suffer, go hungry.




please note: in this response the term God & he and HIM refers to: Divine being, in whatever gender or human trait the reader wishes to assign to this in explainable in words being.
