Everyone probably questions. We should all ask questions. But I suppose all of this just comes down to choice.
Truth is more perception than fact I think. At least for a lot of people.
When there are no facts that can accurately explain a phenomenon such as 'How it all began' thats when theory happens. We are comfortable having answers and when we don't get them we bring in theory. Theory opens door to perception and choices. You can either choose to believe something or completely disregard it or simply remain oblivious or apathetic. So whether God exists or not is a relative thing..because if he does then none of us can prove it and if he doesn't then none of us can prove it. At least so far. So what do we do? We are out of our comfort zone...Not having answers is uncomfortable to us because we consider ourselves the dominant more evolved species at least in this galaxy. Theists strongly believe in him and attribute all the good in their lives as a blessing and the bad as his way to teach us or lessons. Atheists are considered more rational and science loving. They like to be assertive and like to take responsibility and credit when something good happens and when something bad happens they like to say 'HA and you say God exists', Bullshit theres so much crap in the world how can he exist.
Greek mythology shows Gods to have very human like qualities. They are flawed like us and not perfect and complete. Ever think that may be God does exist and may be he's just flawed? He's complete right? So may be he's both good and evil packed into one and over the last few decades may be the evil in him has been predominant. Its just a theory.
I like to keep an open mind and refuse to label myself as a theist or atheist. I believe one day we might just find out and in the end just like at the end of the movie Men in Black...our world , our universe is just a marble in a sack of marbles held by an alien. Like aliens there is a lot of debate over the subject's existence....He's as elusive as the lil green men, But perhaps according to theory his anal probing is probably a lot more painful..
May be God's an alien. A real powerful alien who gets his ya ya's from tossing his lil sack of marbles around.
May be not.
also, since its been preying on my mind for the last couple of weeks, its not about the existence of god, but the way it is forced on everyone. i dont think its about is god good or bad, or perfect or imperfect, thats naiive. its about actively thinking about what you want, what you believe and why, and thus making out your own path.
ReplyDeletei dont really pay much thought to finding out eventually. for me, its the now that matters. everything that will eventually be, will all be an amalgamation of all the moments of now and how you wish to form them. and now, all i have seen of religion and god, over the years, is people are killed, tortured, women put down, and massive misinterpretation.
also the thing is, ive never come across an atheist who's tried to be a missionary. and ive never come across an atheist who's wanted to wipe out entire populations. ive also never come across an atheist whos willed anyone to death because they dont agree with him/her.
but as for people who follow informed religions, i cannot, unfortunately say the same.
taking that small step to critically question so you are sure that what you believe is what you want to believe, rather than what youve been trained to think over the years, is all i think i ask for of people. i dont wish them to leave behind their scriptures and dismiss the presence of the almighty. just critically question yourself, if only to strengthen your belief in whatever you choose.
is all.
