Lately....I have become a bit....edgy about religion. I have tried to understand "Why" my tolerance has become thin in this regard and settled on the clash between Islam and Christianity as the underlying cause of my frustration, this combined with the changes in power within the United States. I have tried over the years to study mutiple paths , as I think it best to at east understand the basis of faith, if not the intricate details that guide it.
This is why I am Pagan:

I never have to tell someone they are wrong, (though I might think they are, I am not forced to feel this way) there is a difference.

I dont have to read a book for guidance, but instead can read them all if I so choose and take the parts that make sense as my own.

I can admit I have no Idea who God is, and be perfectly content in my ignorance.

I can still dwell in a congregation of like minded people, for support, experience, and love.

I dont have to Judge everyone else based on what I consider fabricated guidelines, but instead can focus on just being as nice as I can.

I dont have to feel guilty that people are dying because my God says they should (whether true or not, I refer to how I feel)

Sex is a part of the faith....heh (had to throw that in there)

I guess I am posting this just to hear myself talk, and to express my dissatisfaction that people are killing each other in the name of a God, I see this as the worst form of Hypocracy imaginable.So...onto my question:

Does it make any sense at all....to support a God who tells you to Kill someone?
