Hi there folks, sorry it's been so long since I've posted and here I am just to tell you good bye. I'm not going away, it's just that I have to leave this tribe because my metaphysical views have changed in the last four months. Due to a piece of logic that I have reasoned thuroughly I am no longer a Christian. I am a Theist trying to figure out God on my own terms, without unreasonable faith only reason. I am still happy to have met many of you and would welcome anyone who wishes to be a friend on tribe.
From being a Christian I have learned much about people and community and I hope to keep that with me even if there isn't a church that agrees with me. I'd like to think that maybe I could someday start a humanitarian church which focuses on the only important things that people should agree on for a religion. Mainly that human life is very valuable, not to be abused or squandered, only free to live. I just saw "End of the Spear" today and it makes me happy to think that christian missionary's make that kind of humane progress in the world. I would just like to point out that in the movie, it was the direct words that left no confusion which would have sooner, and eventually did save lives. The words, "God has a son" only made room for more violent conflict in the beginning. But the words "I am your sincere friend" was what held a man back from further killing by his conscience. I will respect the humanitarian missionaries as I move toward my goals to support the humanitarian cause but I must also attempt to influence others like yourselves to be safe people. Ultimately the christian faith is the same strong faith that those of islam retain, and it only takes a few words on Jihadism to turn some of their faiths into the faith of unknowing soldiers. Just as well, the conflict in Northern Uganda uses the bible and Christianity to murder orphans in order so that other orphans witnessing can be forced into trama driven slaves and soldiers. What logic there is in this I have no idea, it's only a faith.
With that said I must leave this tribe because it was not ment as a place to suggest or argue against the christian faith. Thank you for having me and I hope to still see some of you around on tribe.net
