A New Begining - Bryan

So as my first post for our new blog, I thought it best to start off with the Basic principle behind my faith, and that is, God is not pulling the strings. At least not 24/7/365. You see, God gave us free will so that we may choose him if we so desired. It would kinda defeat the purpose of it all if every time someone got on their knees to pray to have someone fall for them or give them a job, God just went and forced that person to do it. God gave us free will so we may do what we see as right, but also God gave us common sense so we could be able to determine what is right. My faith is not based on a nearly 2000 year old book that has been re-written anytime someone didn't feel it suited their needs, nor on it's various legends. Keep in mind I do still find them as a great reference point, but I don't feel their words should be taken as law. I feel the only true connection anyone needs to God is themselves. Anything more and things tend to become too complicated, at least in my eyes.
