I belive in a higher being.

I can't not look at this beautiful planet and not believe, I also can not confine my worshipping of a higher being in a house built by man.

Of course I am also of the non judeo-christian faith.

I also have a strong faith and my belief system comes from that faith, most if not all people do it the other way around, i.e. have a belief system and their faith comes from that.

But that doesn't mean that I don't not think that JC is a great prophet, man and a son of god. JC's divinity did not come into being until I belive it was the nicene (sp) ecumenical council (I did the research for one of my ethnographic studies).

I do love the historical aspects of the old testement and at one point in my life wanted to be a theologian and specialize in the Old Testament. I belive both christians and non-christians would questions my motives because of this. But I have the ability to step outside the box and look at things objectively. Just because I am a non-christian does not mean that I do not that particalur historical time period and the impact that it has on the world today.
