Umm..gee, I don't think I ever said the world wasn't a bad place.

I never said the world was going to be a wonderful place. That's the JW's belief, not mine.

I'm not faulting you for being realistic, I'm faulting you for telling me that because the world sucks, you have no reason to try and make it better.

Sure, there's litter on the ground, but throwing down another piece certainly isn't going to help. One might try picking something up instead. You don't have to make the world perfect, but you sure can try.

Edit to add: I was raised to believe in something. Started off catholic, went to charismatic (want an adventure go to a charismatic church) and then to baptist. You know what, I despise all three. I went pagan for a little while, in a sort of rebellion phase.

Then I finally got around to figuring out what I believe. I sat down and thought about what made the most sense, and what I felt. I don't follow a man. I never said I follow a man. There is a reason I do not attend church of any sort. (Other then the fact that I don't think there is a church out there that would support my beliefs.)

I believe what I believe for 2 reasons. Because it is what feels right in my heart and because it not only does me good but it does good to those around me. NOT because of what some priest told me.

For crying out loud, I'm mostly hindu. I've never seen a Yogi in my life. How could he tell me what I'm supposed to be doing?

You really need to stop second guessing.
