It's this same energy that created the earth. This energy is neither negative or positive, but can be harnessed for positive or negative influences in one's life.
Basically, none of us are victims. We create the life we are in and we can choose to uncreate it. It's just a matter of how you use the energy.

I'm with you. Call me athiest if you will. I am not ashamed of my beliefs and I do not feel that I am less of a person, less worthy or less of a model citizen just because I don't believe in the Bible. To be honest, it offends me when in conversation, people start with the statement "as a christian, this is how i think i should handle such and such." How about as a caring human being, this is how i think I should handle such and such. Can't we be caring and concerned about others, be helpful and generous, without having to be religious?
