My thoughts of Religion
Lately, my mom's been worried about the world and the whole 'end of life' thing thats supposed to happen on december 21, 2012, and that's got me worried as well. It kinda makes me wonder, have I done enough in my life, both spiritually and physicly? I mean, Ive wasted 3 years of my life posting and playing on gaia alone, and it makes me realize I need to do more.
But it also makes me wonder, have I done enough to ensure me a good afterlife? you know, the whole heaven and hell thing. I mean, im not perfect, ive sinned alot in my life, but I always ask for forgivness and I pray every night, but is it enough?
The churche im being forced to go says it isnt, but I honestly dont like that church. They say that devils and spirits make you do stuff and you must sacrifies large amounts of money to be saved and to have a good life with the latest modles of cars and stuff. Since when is happiness materialistic?
I think that church is a scam, but I would neve tell my mom. She feels a spiritual connection to god with that church, and I dont want to spoil that for her, so I keep my mouth shut. it gets me thinking though, what does god want out of us?
Back then, he required animal sacrifices because those animals are life he blessed man with to farm and to feed and to clothe themselves with, so he needs some of the sacrified back to him in his name and honor. But now, people give money, and if I where god, I wouldnt want it. Money is very curropting and theres been people killed, cheated and shot just to get it, and its something I dont think god wants anything to do with. I think when he said he needs sacrifices, he means sacrifices of time, effort, and energy. Time someone takes away from themselves to spread the word of god almighty and our savior jesus christ. Effort to help those in need, and energy to use in doing so.
And one last thing I want to talk about religion; The bible.
Im not saying, its a big lying book, but I have my doubts about it. I cant really trust anything written by a man, especially one thats been re-written thousands of times. I think theyre stories to live by, whether they where true or not. It has good morals, but nothing to take so seriously and personally. you never know if someone added their own ideas and influences just to get things their way.
Well, thats it about what I think of religion, and I hope whoever reads this has the courage to respond on what they thin of religion.
But before you go flamming and arguing that im some crazy biznich for thinking this, remember, god is tolerance, and if you hate me because I dont think like you do, well...
we both know where you're heading.
