A Confused Belief
Sometimes we all sit back and have to wonder exactly what it is that we are here for? To what purpose are we born upon this world, and what happens in the after years? Of course it is not our place to ever truly know these things until we have actually passed onto those realms beyond the mortal existence. Questions like the one posed above have really no place in the here and now other then in a philosophical sense. As all that we may do is debate whether or not something is true or false. Are there really any Gods left in this world? I would like to believe that there is something though I cannot say for a certainty.
As every person takes a step forward into their lives they have to ask themselves these questions. It is only a part of growing into adulthood. Sometimes these individuals find a spiritual guide to lead them through the murkiness that is this world. Finding a religion allows many a person to have the faith to continue in what seems a meaningless existence. I know that I lack their conviction in this field, as I have yet to find anything that I could readily identify myself with. I have tried to tie myself to Christianity but find their God and Bible to be full of lies and deception. Honestly how could a God be “All Powerful, Knowing and Benevolent”? It just isn’t possible. To be all Knowing and Powerful means that one would have to at one time be harsh in their rule to make one’s followers understand their laws. And to be a “Benevolent God” but yet a “Vengeful God” is just one more of the many contradictory statements that are found within the verses of the Holy Bible.
Perhaps I will possibly offend someone with my views, though one must understand that they are just that, my point of view. Not the outlook of an entire people. For if I had my ways I would abolish Christianity in its entirety because truthfully more blood has been spilled in the name of “Our Lord Jesus” then any of the wars of the world combined.
My thoughts on religion as a whole are mixed and conflicting. I at one side believe that there is a “Higher Power” and know that the world could not have been created through just a ‘magical spark’. Though on the other half of that view is the skeptic telling me that the world is just that. An accident in the scheme of the universe and that we really were not meant to be. That we are just that, a people, a race drifting through the sands of time and space without any goal in sight other then to destroy ourselves and everything that is surrounding us.
