I find it amazing really.
Many people believe in UFO's from 'outer space' and openingly talk about it and it is generally accepted.
Some talk about Multi-Universes and dimensions, openingly talk about it and it is listened to,
But soon as you say you believe in God who created it all, openingly talk about it, it causes all sorts of dramas.
What's the difference. They are all beliefs!
I believe God created everything (and not afraid to say so) but I am not 'Religious'. But that is my belief, it may not be anyone elses.
I listen to people who have a belief in UFO's, ghosts, Multi-Universes etc and it does not change my view of them or marr any friendship. I have a belief in God who made the Universe but it can cause division and distaste. Why? I am still the same bloke as before anyone found out what I believe in.
Preaching? Now that's a different thing. This is not the place to preach or even attempt to convince anyone of any belief, but mentioning a belief is fair & reasonable.
I'm still me
