Accountability 2 Addendum

     During my writing of Accountability the other day I did not tie any Religious beliefs to the account. As I figured, not many took up the challenge of seeing that. Except the true believers that seen the word accountability means "learning that which has defined this nation from it's beginning". This nation was founded on Christian beliefs and fundamentals. This nation was built and structured around the laws that are written in the Bible. Ones such as "Thow shalt not kill" and the other 10 commandments that follow. But it was also founded on other teachings in the Bible. A good friend of mine, Mrs Terri Maxwell was the only one who pointed that fact out to me. But I was somehow not surprised by this, because she lives the life of a true Christian. And her account and statement go along way in proving that there are people out there who care and do live by something they truly believe in. Her statement was as follows:

    Believe it or not, I'm going to relate this back to the Bible. People have become ignorant of their accountability towards God. They don't want to know about Him or his commands, even though these commands are written on their hearts. This makes them, in their minds, unaccountable for their actions. As long as people remain stupid about the world around them, they feel more comfortable, and less convicted by the evil surrounding them. IT says in the Bible that unbelievers will not here or see the Word of God, and will be offended by it. Mrs Terri Maxwell.

      Very profound, but most of all true. We know what the right thing to do is, but we just do not have the guts or the will to do it. Believe it or not, I do believe in God, just not in the traditional sense. I believe that anyone who has brought forth the teachings of love and forgiveness must have a place amongst humanity. My grandfather told me when I was a child that all God ever asked of you was to believe in him. And that has stuck with me ever since. I see God in a way most people would not understand.  Because the complexity of life itself to me the complexity of God has a greater meaning. I believe humans have the distinct ability to search according to their understanding, or way of processing that information. My search for that understanding is still a process. But people like Terri and her family give me hope that someday that most people will wake up and realize it is not what you have or who you are to the world, but what you do and who you are to yourself and what you stand for that matters.
