faith to have hope

One doesn't need "god" to be moral

One doesn't need to follow Jesus to have ethics, kindness, and empathy

Now, for many, faith is a deep part of their life. If that helps and brings joy, great. BUT to laud that belief as being better, greater, more powerful than any other belief or non-belief system is simply the ego speaking. Humans want to be "right" - so much so that they get stuck in ideas that actually hold them back (look at cults).

No one can define god. If there is such a thing, it is way too big for human words, ideas, dogma.
