I try to respect the beliefs of others, but I also expect them to respect mine. In the world today, it seems like those who have an idea in some 'god" think that they have the right to dictate to everyone else what they should believe, which is BULLSHIT.
     I abandoned religion years ago and have been happy since. I see how religious leaders manipulate people, and they surrender their free will. I cannot live like that. I cannot stop others from making that decision, but they have no right to make it for me.
