LOL!
Do I believe that a CHRISTIAN God exists? I PERSONALLY do not. I believe that everyone has an individual spirituality. I do not believe in any organized religion, nor do I agree with the idea of organized religions at all. Organized religions are man-made entities that are based on literature that has been manipulated, translated, and ultimately MISUNDERSTOOD in some way. Case and point: study Greek religious art and statues. Most of the older Moses figures have horns. This is due to a misunderstanding in translation. While the original manuscript said something about light encompassing Moses' head, or a halo, the wording was translated into "horns" by the Greeks, and so they painted/sculpted.
What is to say that King James did not misunderstand, or even take "creative license" when interpreting the Bible?
That is why I do not believe in a Chrisitan God (too many hypocrisies in the history of that religion), nor do I believe in any other God of an organized religion (too many hypocrisies in EVERY religion!). I do find myself to be a spiritual person - I do believe in SOME God, I just haven't figured out who he or she is yet, lol.
