Faith

Been thinking lately a lot about Religion and how it affects people here at Utah State. Sadly its an issue that I have had to deal with head on since I left my religion many year ago, in its own way, a constant reminder of what I had to give up to be go the path that I did take. Either with lying with every breath I would take at church, saying things I truly didnt feel or reject it. These are my thoughts after a few years on the subject.

Faith

I do not believe in the stories of old but I believe in the power of humanity

I do not pray to a deity I pray to myself that I can make a change in the world I see

I do not have faith that there is a divine plan but I have faith that I can make my life meaningful

I do not let religion define me but religiously try to do more good than wrong

Well I had more but its not wanting to come out tonight. Its tough, knowing that I am a good person with worthy goals, but being shunned by the community because of my different beliefs. I have been wild and crazy the past few years and I dont want to go back to that. Those times were fun, they were good but it was a dark time. But all I can do is go on and be better. Thats my goal. As long as I keep that in mind, the goals can be reached, the wars won and reach that summit of goals that I am setting for myself. With that I wish you all adeiu.
