♥I really don't get it.....

I have been searching to find where I fit in the spiritual communty. I have reached a time in my life that I want to dig deeper into what I do and do not believe in, and would in fact like to find where I fit so that I may find other people to discuss similar beliefs with.

First of all I want to say that I have thought about this since I was about 12. Prior to that I was confident that there was a heaven and hell... Up until I started questioning EVERYTHING. Why I started questioning at that moment in time is probably a subject in another question! Anyways, I began thinking about life and death and my soul/mind/personal thoughts. I was raised in church, and the reason I believed in heaven was basically the same reason that I believed in Santa. My parents and others close to me told me so.
I eventually came to the conclusion that I do not believe in heaven or hell, a god or a devil. I did however find science a very interesting subject at an early age, and I am a very analytical person in general. I would take a T.V. apart just to see how it worked. That should tell you a bit about what I think is a common personality of a "non believer". (Analytical in nature) Seeking the truth in everything, some other characteristics may have to do with trust. If you have trust issues you will find yourself doubting things in life much more, as I know I do.
I have read alot and had many discussions on this issue, but above all else I have lost countless nights of sleep over it as well.
I believe that the belief of "heaven" is a basic human necessity. What I mean is that if you do not believe in a "supreme being" and/or a heaven, you do not have the hope that brings on most peoples happiness in life. To believe in something like that I could only imagine would have the opposite effect of what I have gone through. Peace of mind, tranquility, hope, faith, optimism, etc...
So, I feel that heaven in the concept that it is an actual place one would go to after death, and ones soul/mind would live on is incomprehensible and totally unblievable for me.
I do however believe that heaven can be a state of mind for the living. In my personal belief, someon who does ACTUALLY believe in any supreme being and an afterlife is in fact in Heaven.
Though I cannot change my personal views of this belief, I do want my children to believe in God and Heaven. After all, what father would not want their children to go to/be in Heaven?

I'm not going to hate you because you purple, why should you hate me if I'm green? Its so unnecessary, and it destroys society.. Why are people racist? What is its root? Can it ever be destroyed? Or is pride too great that we'll always be blind to the truth!?

I'm also for putting fences around all our borders, pulling our troops out of Iraq and just shutting the door on the rest of the world. i mean really, what do we need them for? And dont say Oil because any American knows we have our own oil here if we need to tap into it.

This is just something to think about for a while. One day after 9-11-01 I started paying more attention to things. One of the things I found interesting was the clock. I took the Star of David and applied it to the clock and began to write down the numbers in the order of the points starting at 12 clockwise to 10. !12-2-4-6-8-10. Moving in the clockwise motion I turned the Star to 1-11. 1-3-5-7-9-11. Writting those numbers below the first row of numbers. So I'm making my way down through the numbers and a distinct sequence began to form. 9-11-1 was moving from left to right all the way down this Tower of numbers until I got back to 12. I estimate that something big is going to happen in 2012. I got the confirmation of something big while watching the Bible code on the Discovery channel. Also read Genisis 11:1-9. That's 9111 backwards. It talks about the Tower of Babel and the great city in the east. Try doing the clock thing yourself and read Genisis. Tell me what you think.

Sometime, my college pals and I will chat, and it seems like every damn person in the room is staring over in my direction. I am not chatting during class, and I am not talking very loud either. Its like everyone is staring at me all of a sudden. Is this just curiosity? I know, when others talk I couldn't give a rats a * * what they are talking about. Why do they do this?

I began having symptoms of UTI last night, it's pretty common for me. I called my ob this am thinking he'd just call me in some macrobid, no such luck...

The office called back and said that I needed a urinalysis and to see the Dr. but I didnt get the msg until it was too late...

I went on and had the urinalysis at the hospital and am supposed to go to the Dr. tomorrow morning. My question is this:

My mom works at the hospital and was able to get my lab results. My nitrates? were elevated, but the lukocytes were normal as was the bacteria. What does this mean? Just another UTI?

(forgot to mention that I am 6 mos pregnant)
