dear mr. bedford,
 
 
while you may not believe in Jesus Christ, I do. Because I live in a country that allows freedom of religion, I have a right to believe in Jesus Christ. You also, have a right NOT to believe in Jesus Christ. I am not questioning your right to your beliefs so please do not look down on my beliefs.
 
and to say there is no God? well you just have to look at the beauty of nature all around you and see God's glory. Jesus Christ a "no-show"? I don't think so, not in my life anyways-He has done so much work in my life and i've seen his hand in many aspects of my life. words couldn't even express all He has done for me--if you would just read the New Testament maybe you could see the humanity of Jesus Christ--what is so wrong with believing in a man who loves everyone--who is here to help you in times of need?--who, when no-one else seems to care about you--cares about you like his child?
 
Jesus says "I am the good shepherd.  The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep"
John (10:11)
 
I am not saying that there is no corruption in religion. Religion is manmade-whenever you have something that is man-made you will have corruption. But if you go to the Bible-read it with an open mind-you will find a great many lessons in humanity-Jesus teaches love. What is wrong with that?
 
Thank you,
