(9,904 posts)Their particular God wants from them, it's all about personal needs and or fears is my personal belief, it is factual how and why so many stories ended up in the so called words of God.
How I would more than likely privately view your beliefs in the real world is that you simply need to have a degree of faith in order to feel at ease in a world not so easy to deal with as I view some believers, there are many reasons I believe why people have faith in a deity, one never seen nor proven beyond a reasonable doubt to even ever existed.
I personally have my own beliefs but I honestly do not feel victimized and or insulted if someone fails to rationalize my beliefs which may differ from theirs. I don't understand why those who believe in Gods and or Goddesses allow others to make them feel insulted, I can only assume it is because privately the person feeling insulted may fell a bit wobbly on that faith, when your older it truly should become personal with no need to have validation of said beliefs from anyone other than yourself.
My personal feelings on the subject, could care less if someone called me nutty or whatever word they chose to use.
