I ask the question, "Does a personal belief
system define us?" For me, it's simply one
more factor in understanding a person.
Indeed, there are those who would insist
that our beliefs are a defining factor in
determining who we are as a people.
For some, a religion, a creed, provides the
framework for their very existence. For
others, it's an add on to who they are on
a different level.
When I was getting my degree in Religion
and Philosophy in Lincoln, Nebraska, we
studied the 11 great religions. I had to
chuckle when I made the above list, those
primary to my family and friends. Reason
being, when I looked up a current list on
the internet, it was virtually unending.
I maintain that a personal belief system
is important. I also think it doesn't matter
what it happens to be, it's just important
to have one. Here's to happy believing . . .
belief defines us
so enjoy walking my path
