So, I Don't Believe in God..

I'm aware that this is a touchy subject for a lot of people & that's ok. Last time I checked this was free country & I'm allowed to believe what I want.

I think it's funny when people try to convince you why there's a god & it usually starts with: "The bible says.." If I don't believe in god, what exactly makes you think I believe anything written in the bible?

While there are some very nice things written in the bible I see it much like I see Aesop's fables all of the stories have a moral & that's ok. Do I think many of them happened? I doubt it. 1st off, how old exactly is this book? 2nd How many times & how many languages has it been translated out of? Anyone that speaks a second language knows there is no exact translation to English. Lost in translation much?

We used to play this game in our theater class in high school. Our teacher used to line the class up, about 20 or so of us, he would tell the 1st person in line a secret (an easy sentence), then that person would whisper it to the next & so on & so forth...

By the time the sentence made it to the end of the line it was not the same, at all.. How many times do you suppose that book has been rewritten & re-translated over the centuries? How can you expect me to believe it's the same book god had man write. Your god is perfect, but man is not & yet he entrusts them to write this book... hmm..

How many chapters have been added as well? Why are people that talk to god normal, but people who believe in UFOs & ghosts are nuts? As Carlin would say, "There's no invisible man in the sky that grants wishes".

More people have died in the name of god than anything else in history. The bible is super contradictory & the bible-thumpers can quote what they choose to out of the bible. I call it selective reading. You read what you think is good & ok & you forget everything else..

This guy did all the leg work for my, I'm not reading that entire book :p http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/jim_meritt/bible-contradictions.html

I'm not going to apologize for not believing in god & I don't know what to tell those of you that do believe other than it's your right to believe what you want & it's my right to believe what I want.

You will judge me because that's what believers do.. I don't care what you think or what you believe, it makes no difference to me..

I believe we owe it to each other to be kind, compassionate, civil, & to coexist in this world together w/o murdering each other for our differences..

Preggo

Ok, so I've been pretty scarce lately.. Let's just say there's a lot of crap going on..

There was a nasty break-up with the bf I spent 2 1/2 years with. Then I moved on, probably much faster than I should have, to a guy I'd been friends with for a while. I never saw that coming. I fell in love with him.. He was just about perfect... Then, we got pregnant & talk about a change I never saw coming. He wasn't my prince charming anymore..

To say the least there's been a lot of fighting. I moved in, moved out, moved in, moved out. I've been living w/ a friend for a little over a week now. We're trying to work out all of our issues before this kid gets here.

Some days, I feel like this pregnancy ruined him & I. Maybe, we just weren't that great to begin with. It could just be all the stress from a pregnancy that really wasn't supposed to happen. He's a really great guy & I'm sure he'll be a great dad. I just don't know so much about him & I. We're trying & I guess that's all you can do..

That being said, we're 12 weeks
