  Yes, that’s right.  Belief System.

  I think it’s probably a good idea to get some of my core beliefs in writing.   You know - to let people know that I actually have some.  Why should you care?  I’ll assume you don’t.  But it’s like putting a public declaration in the classifieds section of the newspaper.  It’s for me.  It’s a written record.  It’s also a way for you to come back and call me out if I change my mind or screw up.  Lucky me.

  Maybe I’ll write a mission statement as well in an upcoming post.  Maybe it will be worthy of engraving on a placard or something that I can put on my desk.

  I’m going to start out simple.  It may seem random, but it’s a start.

   

  OBS - Part 1

  - I believe that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - known as Yahweh - is the one true God.  There may be others, but none come before Him.

  - I believe that there is no positive version of the afterlife that does not include that God.  I believe that after death, you will be either a) be with God in Heaven, b) be without God in Hell or c) your soul will completely cease to exist.

  - I believe in the separation of church and state.  I think this benefits the state, but more importantly, it benefits the church.

  - I believe that abortion past a certain stage of development is murder, and should be allowed only in emergency situations.  I do not know what that stage is, so I’ll just leave it at that and thank God that I will never personally have to make that judgement call.

  - I believe that gays should be allowed to be legally married in the eyes of the United States government.  The fact that I am personally opposed to the lifestyle, and that it does not conform to my view of biblical marriage, does not mean that gays should not be given the same financial considerations that I enjoy as a citizen.

  - I believe that you will certainly go to hell if you watch too much reality tv.

  - I believe cussing is ok if it’s after 10 pm and you don’t take the Lord’s name in vain.

  - I believe in protecting our borders.

  - I believe the war in Iraq was a mistake.

  - I believe in the right to bear arms.

  - I believe I can fly.
