[QUOTE="( deleted account ), post: 217306, member: 5993"] I respect your answer KDM, but what happens if you’ve gone round and round and simply cannot being yourself to believe that there is some metaphysical entity like a God? Sorry, I can believe and try to follow all the good things Jesus said and did, and the good things in many othe religions while dumping the bad things, but the concept of a God eludes me. Can I substitute being as good a guy as possible for believing in a God? And definitely being tolerant to everyone’s beliefs and NEVER EVER trying to shove mine, or lack of, down anyone’s throat. That’s bad, no matter who does it! Family and parents -yes, yes, yes! And support efforts for those who don’t have family or parents. Education mostly good though. Not public enemy number 1 IMO! Even if for no other reason than money alone, study after study clearly shows that the more education you have, the better the job, the better pay, medical coverage, disability, retirement, etc. Talking averages here. Plenty of outlier numbers too. Not putting down any careers that don’t require higher than high school training. Don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. [/QUOTE]
