kelly: My God does not need to be relevant to anyone but me. That is the beauty of faith. My God is in all of us and around us, and between us. In my world, God is whatever you want it to be, as long as it makes you feel good. Whatever you choose to believe in - angels, God, Martians, Allah or nothing at all - make sure you believe in it because it works for you. It works for you if it makes you feel good. Any beliefs which fill you with fear should be disbanded because frankly who needs to be afraid of what they can’t see!
There’s enough ugliness in the world and on television to keep you awake at night, I say choose beliefs and thoughts which sustain you when the chaos of the world is too much to bear. Life is often unpredictable, uncontrollable and anxiety ridden so everyone can benefit from having a little faith in their life. If not faith in God, then at least have faith in your fellow human beings.
Faith is hope and the promise of brighter days to come. Sometimes faith is all we have. Maybe if we all agreed to have faith in each other, we wouldn’t need to separate ourselves with religious labels. Maybe we wouldn’t be invalidating and killing each other in the name of God or nothing at all.

Not everything that feels good works for you. Drugs make you feel good but it is destructive. High calorie foods always taste good but it's bad for you. We need to choose whom we believe in---if we believe in Allah and the belief in Him leads us to believe killing ourselves and terrorizing people, then that's worst. Believing in Martians and feeling good about it does not produce anything beneficial in your psyche or humanness. God should not be relevant exclusively to one person. His love, grace and forgiveness are to all not only to one person . So He is relevant to all and at all times.
