Re: Religious Conflicts

It is about " For inspiration and recognition of Science & Technology".
I think of FIRST as a method of improving the world around me. Although I am not particularily religious, I do have my own sense of spirituality. Under this pretense of giving to my community, educating others and improving the world around me, it is my belief that FIRST is a good thing. To mentor a FIRST team of students to better perpare them for their future is one of the least selfish things you can do. I believe god would approve of my efforts to do good for those around me and hence I don't think he would think less of me for trying to make the world he created a better place. Even if that keeps me busy 24-7.
