Also, in my 17 years of being on this earth, ive had experiences and heard many true testimonies which leads me to knowing theres a God, and death brings eternal life with in his presence.
im not atheist or any thing but it seems to me that all religions are basically the same they are an excuse for people to do good, don't take this negatively though excuse sounds negative its the only fitting word. think about it the choice comes down to can i take a day out of my life it help the less fortunate for no reason, or do i have to take comfort in the fact that if i don't i will be punished. and as i re read this i get a weird feeling im going to be blasted, but as a good friend once told me when we were rolling " it's not that i feel that ill be punished, but the comfort in knowing that you can fuck up your whole life and still be forgiven, and still have a purpose"
Iam an atheist I don't belief there the one that made as all or distinguishes who's bad or good. But I do belief in automatic systems like karma and reincarnation and spirit or soul which is like your id card for these automatic systems and if your soul gets lost u become a ghost.
im an athiest. ive recently been doin a lot of searching and shit like that to see what i really believe. I know for sure that aliens have to be real, and this is where it starts getting crazy, and i this one feller came to the conclusion that we are hybrids of the aliens and the true inhabitants of this planet (sasquache!!!!) sent here as spy type things because they couldnt handle something about our atmoshpere or something leik that. im a pretty rational person so it took me a little while to really accept that, but 2012 and all that is coming around and that perfectly explains how people got teh concept of religion and the great power who can destroy everything at will. Not only that but planet x is suposed to make an orbit ever 3600 years or something leik that and it fits perfectly for the time periods of each new messiah. this is what religion foretold, jsut in a scientific explanation. :conehead:
I use to be angry God and reject him but I am slowly realizing that anger should be directed towards Catholicism. I miss having God in my life, I really do.
i bet i know exactly what you're talking about, except it wasn't catholocism i was angry at, it was old southern baptist women
I'm sure southern baptist ladies are pretty terrible! The south frightens me, too many churches and when I saw my first church/ chicken and biscuit combo place I was really turned off haha.
oh really? that's weird, all you need to do is go to church on sunday and there's all kinds of delicious fried goodies
so then what religion would you use to describe my beliefs? i mean i've looked up alot of shit and i havent been able to find the right term to me it just seems like a form of agnosticism...though i do have a belief in god, it's no particular god...i have my own ideas of him, the devil, heaven, and hell. however, despite my beliefs, i would also agree that there is honestly no way of really knowing the truth until each of our time's come.
That makes you an agnostic theist. But not everyone's beliefs have to fit into currently existing categories. If you really have beliefs that are that idiosyncratic, come up with a good sounding name and slap an -ism at the end.
The Judeo-Christian idea of God is too firmly set in people's minds - "the big man in the sky". This comes from the whole thing about man being created in God's own image - i.e God looks like a man. Why would something so powerful, that created the whole universe, look like mere humans? It just shows that our idea of God is so vainly human - a product of the ego - that we place ourselves at the center of all of the universe. I think God is a FORCE, beyond notions of good/evil, life/death and morality. God is what makes the planets spin, what causes the chaotic patterns in weather, what causes the death of suns, what causes things to grow and life to exist. The "thing" behind the laws of physics, chemistry and all the rest.
