1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I am completely open minded to all information I come across, even if it is religious. Be good and do good is what I live by. I dont believe in knocking down someone to get what I want. I guess it has to do with the way I was raised. I believe it was Thomas Paine that said, “Every religion is good that teaches man to be good; and I know of none that instructs him to be bad. For your last question, I always question the motives behind all high standing officials, whether religious or not. I just find it hard to listen to religious figures when everything they talk about is because of God. I feel the things that happen, happen because of man, not God.
