believing in god is my choice

If you've spent any time on my site or following me on social media, you'll know by now that I believe in God. I always have, and I always will. Nothing will ever change my mind. That is my choice as much as it is someone else' choice not to believe. But there is no reason why my belief should be ridiculed. 

Some people believe in life on other planets. Some believe in the power of crystals while others believe in superstitions handed down from their ancestors. Those are choices they've made. And if someone chooses to belief the Earth was created by a big bang, that, too, is their decision. No, it's not mine, but I don't ridicule them because I would never deny someone their right to believe. And that's all I, as a Christian, am asking of those who don't believe the same way.

It's easier to scroll past something than it is to post a negative comment simply because someone has a different belief system than you do. Yet some people have a driving need to mock God or to let me (or any other believer) know that they think my belief is crazy. They feel it's incumbent upon them to "set me straight," and to let me (and others) know that God doesn't exist. But that's their opinion. And why take the time to make fun of that which you don't believe in? 

I refuse to argue with anyone about the existence of God because it is my right to believe in Him. Nothing will ever take away my faith, not even unpleasant comments on the internet. I doubt this will prevent me from having to delete comments from my social media pages, but it's something I needed to say.
