MY BUBBLE... - a less Christian nation

Interesting survey. I remember how several years ago (sometime 2001-03) there was this big national outrage going on b/c an Atheist wanted to take the words "under God" out of the Pledge of Allegiance. Or did he want to cease producing coins with the phrase "In God We Trust"?  Something like that.


I tried becoming Christian. There were 2 periods in my life when I thought about nothing else. But deep down, I felt like I was trying to convert only to please others. And in both times, I pretty much got rejected for not being Christian. Looking back, I realized that I wasn't really being true to myself when trying to "join the club".


Now, I'm Agnostic. And I'm totally content with that, regardless of what others think. Personally, I always feel that there's some Big Guy Upstairs who wants the best for us, some higher spiritual being that can't really be explained. It's not any specific God, but at the same time, I'm not excluding any truths of other religions. I know I know -- there's the argument, "Only one religion can be true."  I can see why some would say that, but I can't agree/disagree with them. Cuz whatever viewpoint I take on that debate, I can't really back it up with any proof. I don't have the answers to everything, and I especially don't pretend to be Mr. Know-It-All when it comes to discussing the Almighty, Heaven, Hell, etc.


Maybe one day I will convert to Christianity, or some other religion. I don't know. But until I do, I'm not gonna lose sleep over it. If it happens, it happens. Regardless, I usually like to keep an open mind about things.


But apparently that's not good enough for some people.
