Precious Divinity?

A scary topic, always debatable, feared by many, taboo by some. And to think that this is something almost everyone has - Religion.
Forgive me if i speak unkindly to anyone's belief's. I'm open to comments.

My name is Jarred Nelson Gasper, practicing Catholic since birth. Baptised at the age of 4 months, received my first Holy Communion at age 9, and confirmed myself to be a catholic at the age of 16 thru Confirmation. Sounds interesting enough, what i have is the accepted standards of most Catholics.
Before i continue, i need to make a few things clear here. i do not believe im am superior in divine knowledge, nor do i claim to know so. this is just my point of view. Another point to take is that, i believe in God. and thats just my belief. whether or not there actually is a God, remains to be ignored by me.
Catholics, Christians, Muslims, Buddhist, Hindu... these are quite familiar to all of us. So many religions, so many beliefs. To my humble understanding, God does have a few set rules. Im not talking about the 10 commandments, but its based on that. There's 2 very important rules to follow. Love God, and Love others as u would yourself. So, correct me if im wrong... but doesnt this mean, love everyone? so if i play with the words again... i find that loving God means loving everyone. Am i right to have concluded so?

I believe the world would be a better place if everyone died.

This world is a mess, its corrupted, and there's not a sign of it coming back to its former state. Look around... look around that place we stay in, the madness has crept thru to our very homes, where nothing is sacred anymore. With grandfathers raping grandaughters, and nations going against nations, u not liking me as much i dun like this world. Truth be told, there's no such thing as world peace... I mean, at least, we'll never know what that means. This world is bad, and bad to the bone. With people hating each other for having different skin tones, or having different beliefs, it does seem right to ask, is there a God?

In this modern age of new technology, people are able to be closer than ever, but it seems we've never been more distant from one another. Do u ever feel u dont know the very person u spend most ur day with? Being in a relationship for 3 years, and having to break up because one person is cheating... could someone have seen that coming? Parents file for a divorce after 23 years of marriage... didnt anyone realise it from the begining? Cant stand the sight of your very own roomate... were u too blind to see it from the start? The fact is this... We are the very own cause of our problems. Day by day i open the newspaper, and i cant help losing hope in the human kind. With new jiberish popping out everyday, i can safely say there's no limit to a man's stupidity.

But fear not, for i believe there's still hope. And i do believe hope lies in animals and children...
animals and children...
animals and children...
animals and children...

Thats the hope of our kind? yes... and thats cuz animals and children are nothing like us. Remember a time, when greed never existed, when the only worry was food, and crying helped solve any problem...
I remember crying whenever i accidently lost my balloon, or it accidently popped.
I remember laughing so much everytime someone mentioned the word 'toilet'.
Here's a story to warm the heart:
One day, David saw two little girls crying a lot on a bench in the
park. Thinking they might be hurt, David went over and asked them. "Are you all
right?"
Still crying, one girl showed him her doll and said, "My baby's arm came
off." He took the doll from the girl and soon fixed her arm. "Thank you."
came a whisper.
Next, He asked her friend, "and what's the matter with you, young lady?" She
wiped her cheeks and said,
"I was helping her cry."

its funny, i can totally picture that happening, be it true or not.
But take a look at outselves... we the result of complex evolution, needing to compare ourselves with mere infants. But thats exactly what we need to save ourselves. innocence and love. we need to care without a reason and we need to give without thinking. We do need children...

Back on track, God's simple teaching... love everyone. it something so simple yet highly unattainable. If all religious teaching's are about loving, then God is about love, and performing an act of love is being what God has originally made us to be. I dont think i am holy in any way, i dont think im very religious. But i do think i have a place with God, as I dont hate. If God's only asking us to do that, why is it thats there's no end to the war?

Peace be with ya'll and Godbless...

alrite so this is what u wrote about-questioning the existance of god when there is no peace. well that was ur opinion. allow me to tell u my opinion. the world is in the hands of the evil one. not god. ever since eve ate that forbidden fruit the devil started ruling coz the first sin was committed by the greatest creation of god and then all the animals n all started getting wild n all rite... they used to b friendly b4 she ate that fruit(read book of genesis its sumwher in there)..so its like she chose to disobey god and its like..allowing the evil one to rule all their generations and until now the evil one is ruling all the human generations from adam n eve..after they committed that sin la.. so there u go.. ther wont be peace as long as the evil one is ruling earth. n yes he is. its his world. the evil one's world. y else wud he hav offered all the kingdoms to jesus if he didnt own it? n jesus didnt deny that. (this is sumwher in the bible oso when jesus was tempted by satan).. he didnt deny satan owned the world because he didnt say "its not your kingdom" instead he sed "go away satan" so he didnt deny tat satan is ruling all the kingdoms. he didnt deny that satan's ruling over the world. ok thats my opinion. i read it frm this christian thing they sent to my house n yes its true..look at the world now...evryone noes god is holy, but if the world is under god's ruling, y is there still misery in every part of the world? there is no peace. evrywher people are craving for peacefullness. ppl may ask..wher is god in the midst of all this?.. well simple-u never seek him, u never find him. n yea im sure many ppl wud question this comment because they have their own reasons. but think about it.. wud the world be this bad if evil is not ruling? well devil can make ppl still question the existance of god. evryone knows satan is evil. and evil things are happening everywhere. think about it. coz thats wat satan does-drive us away from god. my opinion.
