I believe in the possible existence of a higher force that probably assisted in causing the universe to form like it did. I do not, however, believe there's some old man sitting in another dimension, absorbing every little good deed done in this world. Nor do I believe his arch-nemesis is an evil man in an opposite plane trying to destroy the universe. All of that's absurd.
The problem with religion is that it can't be all completely true. Long ago, people were extremely prejudice toward others religions, homosexuality and any number of other things. That was, undoubtedly, integrated into the teachings of many religions. A wise man doubts the word of God. Because there is no word of God, only mankind's perception of it.
God exists as much as the individual person believe he exists. God may exist very much to one person, but not at all to another. I believe in the possibility that a higher force exists. Whether that force is your God or not is trivial.
Race means very little to me, though I am less than proud of the greed, cowardice and lust for power diminstrated by much of humanity as a whole in the past. I believe it is the individual person that shapes who they are, and not their race or belief.
I'm content with who I am, but I do have things I'd like to try and change. I'm a bit emotionless sometimes and have trouble sympathizing with other people's problems or situations. Sometimes I can seem almost cruel, though I don't intend to.
It's an understandable and logical action. To me, the Death Penalty isn't so much a deterrant to not commit a crime as it is an action to deal with criminals with no hope of reform.
