I would like to comment on the Religion topic Dhabih posted earlier.

Currently I attend an Apostolic Pentecostal Church, which is based on the Bible.

My parents have brought me up believing in the christian views, even though they aren't perfect, and I would add.. none of us are.

I think about how religion should fit in with my life, or if it should take over my life. Not saying that the religion I listen to at church is the only, or correct form of belief.

Main point:
I agree with Dhabih that you should learn from everything in your life and that things happen for a reason.

So, I feel that you live life and learn from it. Learning weither you believe a certain way, I would wait until you can apply what you have seen and know is right compaired to those who do wrong.
Meaning crime, generally misplaced hate, or even purposeful hate.
One teaching from the Bible I like to live by.
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
Very right, and helps to put you in others shoes.

PS: my name even comes from the Bible, kinda hard to not think about the religion you grow up in if you're named after a great leader in it. :P

I have always bad luck in my life, I've always thought God doesn't exist because of that. Pity I was wrong, God DOES exist, but he hates me...

We had a buddhis priest come to my city and talk about his religion at the public library... but we had a Christian woman who decided to throw a fit and have a picket about it at the library. No if she's not closed minded. The priest had only standing room and was packed with that and she had 10 followers. She claimed she was going by the 1st commendment, and that it was a false religion like all others... oh yeah the wonderful Golden rule... it was around way before Christ. And wasn't the first religion Jewish? That hasn' changed one bit since the beginning... heck i really don't care what religion people are but don't push yours on me and don't tell me mine is wrong. I don't have a religion because I find all interesting and all have good and bad to them... I believe in someone Up above (not saying it's God) and a heaven and hell. That's my view, and I know many have the same... Don't worry there's nothing wrong with it.
