Religion is solely a matter of opinion.

People say they have faith in God.
They have faith in their opinion of God--
in their opinion of what someone says about God.

All the religions have different
opinions of God.

Some of the people say their faith
is based on the Bible.
Their faith is based on their opinion
of the Bible--on their opinion
of what someone says about the Bible.

Opinion rules.

I've heard it said
that reasonable people
can look at the same facts
and have different opinions
(Some would say "interpretations")--
and draw different conclusions--
about the same facts.

We like to say, "Facts are facts,"
but facts can be interpreted differently.
So can the Bible.

And who is to say whose interpretation/opinion
is the right one?
And it would only be their opinion
as to which one was the right one.

Opinion reigns.

Look around.
What you see is your opinion
of what's there.

Opinion is all there is.

Which is my opinion.

And, what you are thinking about it
is your opinion.

Opinion is all we have.

We make up our minds one day,
and change them the next.

And if you haven't changed your mind
in a while,
it is only a matter of time,
and living long enough.
