We all know that with events from recent times. Both with abortion issues and extreme fundementalists. I believe in a God. Love my religious ideals. And respect others views toward religion. I wouldn't want to serve a God, that feels I'm not worthy enough to accompany Him. Or one that requires me to believe in torture of a son is my only salvation. I don't believe in killing livestock and burning it for God either. Creed Related: Creed's lyrics seem to be influenced heavily by religious ideals. But it would be dangerous to assume that their music is fully religiously inspired. At the same time. It is hard to not relate their lyrics to religious ideals. Especially, songs on the Weathered CD. ....... So, yes, I believe in and pray to God. I believe there was a Jesus. I just don't believe in religion, it's what screws people up. So sorry for the long post, I just wanted to clarify myself. Laura I enjoyed your posting Laura.
