We had a good chat coming back from Gainesville yesterday, we went to Sherry and Julian's Wedding.  Surprising for us at the level of religion present in the people who were there, all young too, 25/30 yr olds. All strongly believed in God, actually felt God had decided for them who they should marry and why.

We don't feel like that, we feel like if your nice to people and don't screw up doing bad stuff, you'll get into Heaven.

Jie is pretty sure she's going to Heaven and i'd sure hate to finish up anywhere she wasn't, so hopefully I've passed. Dunno. So we are pretty sure you don't have to have this all abiding belief in God, don't have to pray etc, you can wing it on the premise of being basically a good person. Hope so. Although i have nagging doubts that there is such a place, that's probably sufficient to disqualify me.  Gee well no you can't go, you don't really believe there is such a place.

I always turn to the one and a half billion Chinese, how could you disqualify one and a half billion people at one stroke just because they hadn't heard of God? I mean maybe they've heard of him but never had the opportunity to find out more. Gets complicated.

So anyway that's my deep thought for the Month.
