I'm sorry, did you really just say, in your own words, that without religion you can't be a good person?
Damn, I guess Mark Twain, Thomas Edison, Stephen Hawking, Sigmund Freud, Marie Curie, and thousands of other scientists, philanthropists, and all around good people must've actually been total assholes then.
A moral compass in no way relies upon the belief in some mythical deity. Yes, some people get it from that, but to say that your faith is the only possible thing to base your morals on is one of the most ignorant things I've ever heard. The bible has some good lessons I it, I'm one of the few atheists I know that have read the thing from cover to cover. But IMO, believing everything you read in in the bible because somebody said to, is like believing everything you read on the Internet.
BTW, I'm a French Model. Bon Jour.
Gee, Creek, guess your cat whizzed in your Wheaties, huh? If a moral compass doesn't rely on a belief in something (God, tree, Mother Earth) on what is it based? A sense of something being bad or good has to be played off something other wise there would be neither sense. You can be an atheist if you would like. No pressure on you. Funny, anthropologists have proven, that even the most primitive of people, have a belief in a deity of sorts and have their morals from that belief. Guess they are not clouded with all the crap of modern society. They seemed to have had more intelligence than we gave them credit for. Maybe we could learn from them! I am glad you have read the Bible but your statement seems to indicate you don't take it as the inspired Word of God. Next time you read it, open your mind AND your heart. Maybe something will get through to you then. BTW, how goes your modeling career?
