Opinion v. Preference

Ironically, enough everyone is NOT entitled to their own opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own evidentiary opintion. Everyone is entitled to there own founded opinion. However, no one has the right to throw out ideas simply because he/she thought it. One must have proof.

Organized religion... eh... I'd rather have a kind atheists or agnostic over a mean Christian,  Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, etc. Btw, I know more of the latter.

Finally, combining the previous statements. Everyone does have a right to his/her own preference, as long as that preference affects no one else. For example, a person has the right to dislike black people. He/she has the right to unfounded bigotry. That person does not have to have black friend. Be a bigot! However, he/she can't discriminate based on race. If a black person is the best qualified, then that person gets the job.

I have the right to dislike people in organized religion or like some and not others. That is my preference.  I don't have the right to say people in oraginzed religion are mean. That is an opinion and requires validation.

Leap of Faith

I was thinking, just really reflecting. I envy women who are married without kids. I am jealous even. A man chose them for who they are individually.  Not me, I was a baby mama first.

Does my husband love me? Yes. Does he love me for me? I will never know. He loves me as a mother. He love me as the almost wife I was to him. We will never know if he truelly loves me. For that, I will always be insecure.

It is easier to choose not to loose something you already have, than to choose the unknown. He did not step out on faith to get what he has. He did not choose me; he chose our family.
