Subject: RE: What does the word 'God' mean to you?
I love the teachings of Christ and I try to live by them. If someone steals something from me, my first thought is usually "Wow! That person must be in bad shape and really needs whatever it was he stole". You see, I can always get another, but maybe he can't even get one. I'm talking about simple stealing now.

I have different ideas about killing. I feel very bad for the dead and their families, but I also feel bad for the killer. What circumstances causes a human to take the life of another when life is so precious. It must have been an overpowering pain he was going through. I believe human beings are social creatures and in need of each other. When we are misused by someone, I think it can make you a lopsided thinker.

But I don't believe there is some higher power. Just us.

I don't deride others believing. Whatever make you feel good, or do good, is ok with me. I just don't seem to need it.

Love, annamill
