Do I need to believe in some concept of "God" . . . in order to experience some kind of "salvation" by him/her/it?
What I mean is . . .
I have a personal approach to life which centres around doing as little as possible that would be damaging to anybody, anything, anywhere, anytime. The same approach prompts me to do what postive things I can . . . to anybody, anything, anywhere, anytime . . . if I have the resources to do so. I see myself as part of one systemic, interrelated whole. Whatever positive influence I exert, is therefore of benefit to me . . . whatever harm I do, is harming myself. It governs how I relate to the entire physical world . . . people, animals, the environment.
No rules . . . one principle. No recognition or concept of a deity. In fact, I don't adhere to any concept at all that cannot be reasonably proven or disproven. Like everybody else, I have an imagination and can speculate . . . but I am careful as to what things I believe. Unprovable concepts are not one of them. I don't put weight in ancient writings that cannot be substantiated as "divine". I don't pray. I don't attend church. I don't worship. I don't believe in any currently held human concept of "God"
If someone elses concept of God just happens to be true . . . what does your God have against me? Exactly what would he find me guilty of?
What would my future hold by his reckoning? . . . and specifically why?
Why must I be a believer?
