    Can You Choose What You Believe?

    Personally, I do not think we choose our beliefs. Our beliefs are the fruits of our experiences.

    spirituality, sexuality, & gender

    The idea that God sees beyond appearances and that the angels and God are beyond gender helps me be more accepting of people in the LGBT. Because I think we're all essentially playing roles, like we're in a play, and on a higher level our souls aren't defined as masculine or feminine. To me...

    What religious/spiritual practices do you do?
