Hi David,
“Who cares what I mentally acknowledge to be real or true? It's what I am and how I live that defines me, not a creed or philosophy or ideology that I claim allegiance to that spells out who I am.”
“I think it is best to do good than merely believe in good. All the belief in God won't feed another who is hungry, and that everybody deserves to be treated honorably, with respect, and cared for not on the basis of their creed but on because of the fact that they are fellow humans.”
Great statements!!!!!
Want to start a religion??? (j/king :-), but could make millions ;-) )
But I really want to make this next statement of yours into a bumper sticker!
“My beliefs don't define me. My actions do.”
I love this statement. As JW’s we were always admonished “to do more” but of course the “actions” were silly JW stuff (door to door, talks, bible studies, etc) whereas now we are free to provide real acts of kindness and goodness to our fellow humans.
You are very encouraging in your writing style and with sharing your thoughts. Keep them coming.
Joy
