I am agnostic. I was raised Christian, I think Protestant though I'm not for sure. My parents forced me to go to church and sunday school every sunday, and it was always like pulling teeth with me. Now, I think that since my parents essentially forced something on me that I didn't want anything to do with, I am against it. However, I would like to believe that there is something out there, some higher power, that is omnipotent, omscient, and omnipresent protecting us, but I realize that this is probably unlikely.
Unlike many religions, I believe that all you need is yourself. You have the all the power and ability. You can rely on yourself and your fellow man for whatever you need.
If god truly exists and is all powerful, why does he let bad things happen? Why does he let bad things happen to good people?
