I am not a cheater. I am not a fraud. I am not a killer. No lies are ever jawed. I’m not rude to strangers, family or friends. If ever there’s a problem, I try to make amends. I don’t have sex for money, only sex for love. The things I do each day, are things that I’m proud of. I don’t go to church on Sundays, or confess to God my sins. I don’t say a prayer each morning before my day begins. I believe in science. I believe in facts. I don’t believe in any of the spiritual “contracts.” I am a good person, and I lead a good life, but death will only bring upon me damnation and strife? If God is a true being, who’s done all that is perceived, wouldn’t he have made me so that I would just believe? Curious and truth-seeking is how I live each day, but if there IS a God, HE made me this way. So when that one day comes, when the life in me abates, I would think that God would let me in the pearly gates. No one being is perfect, I’m certainly not, but if Heaven is a real place, I think I’ll deserve a spot. *Amber |

Oh, wonderful. Really brought back to me things I had outlined in my What I Believe song I posted in Spiritual Journeys (which you commented on, thank you  ), the raison d'etre I carry with me.This is truly beautiful and a great secular version of a mantra that I'll take with me. Keep it up. I love your stuff! |

Living a good life is the only religion, as far as I'm concerned, and if I get a vote you will get a spot. Ida |

You definitely have already been assigned your spot, dear Amber! By not hurting anyone and by loving life and humanity you are on the right Path, no doubt. Love, Margherita |

I believe in an all loving God and Heaven but not Hell. At any given moment in your life you are exactly who God wants you to be. Your place in Heaven is reserved Amber and your welcome home party planned. I'm a spiritualist and believe God and Mother Nature are one and the same. Don't give another thought about not going to church on Sundays. If everyone did no one would ve able to get there; all the streets would be congested and traffic at a stand still. Your church is within you just as God is. |
