saying that, many people get solace from belonging to a religious organization and often they do do some good deeds.
being brought up in a convent, i started off believing in "the' god.
after a few months i didn't believe in anything but myself.
now i feel that the laws of the universe are god. a sort of cohesive god glue that holds and binds everything together. my spiritual belief has long since faded from whatever soul i thought i had. the three things i hold to be true is this;
people can be good, people can be bad. often people will be both.
a belief in god seldom dictates whether a person will be good or bad.
