For a little something about my religious views. *sigh* Cause, things like that are personal, and that's what you put in a blog thing, and I guess my religious views are a little skewed. I've had this conversation a couple times, and nothing makes it any easier in explaining it. If my mom would read this she would send me to church everyday.
Because I don't believe in God. Simple statement, bad consequences.
It's not like I haven't tried.
I spent a good thirteen years of my life devoting my time and effort to praising Him, but to no prevail, here I am at 16 and not only do we not have a personal relationship, but I do not believe in the Almighty. Why? Not because of personal tragedy, anything, such and such, other than, I do not believe that God, a god, or any type of deity created a completely infinite space. I don't think one thing could craft the Earth. I believe that the Bible was written to be followed and that if you don't listen to what it says than you may want to think about the basis of your faith.
I remember once that I prayed to God to find my flashlight. I was at church camp. It worked. There you go...
But I don't think that any God would create the good and the bad of the world. I believe humans are too proud to say we grew from primates and were placed here for no apparent reason other than to love one another and reproduce. Because we weren't put here for a reason, I don't think there is a reason.
If there was a God, he would want us to get over ourselves, stop praying in churches every once in a while, and enjoy a beautiful existence.
I have no desire to ever say there was an Adam and and Eve. I think that there were dinosaurs before there ever was a man and a woman and a snake.
I like to stare long ways into space and think about just how far it reaches.
Forever
I don't belive in anything. I don't belive in any other religion over another. There are too many, and they all came about to explain the meaning of life.
Most of them say the same things.
Live well.
Atheism is in non-belief. Some people see it as falacy, as if you can't "not believe", as if it is an opinion. I just don't think that there is a god. I just like to think that the world was made, a long long time ago, by a chaotic happinstance.
And we are man.
Some Christians like to fight with me about how I define morals if I don't have something to set them against. I like to see it as this, drugs are bad. Why are drugs bad? They mess up lives. How would you be able to tell if the good book didn't define morals yadda yad.... You can see their work, don't play dumb. Those are the conversations I dislike having when it comes to my lack of faith. Maybe its a little of a transcendental under-pull, but I believe in the good of man. Possibly humanistic, but I haven't studied enough to delve deeper into that. I just know that when I die, I would love to think that there would be angels and singing, but in fact, I know and I fear, that there will just be blackness.
For a long time.
That's why life is so important now.
