Sun Feb 27, 2022, 02:57 PM

Feb 2022

Everytime I see or hear a coversation re: god, i immediately think ok what is god. I dont know if i believe cause I don't know which god im suppose to be believing in. I dont believe in religion. Im done with that. So is it the catholic god, the fundemental god, the jewish god, the muslim god or just god. Do I believe there is something (one thing) out there that is in charge of everything and has a plan for everyone-no. Until someone can explain suffering to me I can not believe that there is an entity incharge that can stop suffering but allows it anyway. I dont believe in the whole orginial sin or that there is a god that punishes people because somebody else sinned.
