I guess for some people the existence of a certain God, such as it is described in the bible, is a monolithic belief, and I respect that of course.. for me, a God that would want you to suffer to pay service to him is not a God I could believe in. I do believe in God, and if there is anything of this order that God demands, then it is, in my eyes, belief, not sacrifice.I personally believe that, God would much rather have a good, decent human being that is kind to others but without belief, than a "bad" human being that has belief. and I think he would want you to make sure you feel better first, and of him second.
