[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 2715529, member: 24531"] I think your "official belief" on things is important. While some people see it as hypocrisy if you believe one thing and do another, I think that if you try to stay true to your values but you mess up, it isn't as bad as if you do wrong and do not think you did wrong at all. It is called having a conscience and it can guide you to the right path and help you learn to BE a better person. If you know who you are in your heart, then do not judge yourself too harshly (okay to be disappointed) on the mistakes you've made that betray who you really are. Just learn from them and try to improve next time. Never give up...the enemy wants you to think you are a bad person but you have to know who you are inside and what you believe, but also know when to pick your battles. It is possible to be tolerant without betraying your values. And you also have to know that you (nor I) know it all...be humble when you can and try to treat others with dignity and respect and be honest but also know when not to speak. That is the advice that came to mind; but I bet you are a good person if you are asking this question...if you need to put more of your values into practice, just know you can't do it all over night...work at it. And if you open your heart to the scriptures, it will help you. There are plenty of good people that do good things regardless of their religion. But even atheist often tout the teachings of Jesus as a historical figure. But I think those who believe in Him and think they are not good enough are bound to be reeled back in at some point. Best wishes Hawgman; if you going through a bad time, it is okay to turn to all of us here. [/QUOTE]
