I often think of God ....
Posted: Mon May 11, 2009 2:27 pm
Hi, I have thought a lot about him these days.
To say it straight, I'm not a religious person but I don't deny him either.
I know that all attempts made to define him are endless and all have failed, sure they have.
Now I invite everybody to look at God from a different point of view, like ...
... there's me, living my life without having ANY religion.
When I take my time to reflect about my past, I feel the strong desire to ask ... why ?
Why has this and that happened to me ?
If there wasn't any God, then good or bad things just happened by random and always as a reaction of something what happened before.
It doesn't mean that I always have influence over it.
I think to myself that if our lifes were already written before we were born, then what would be the purpose in the first place ?
If there was any, I still struggle to put the parts together.
We learn all our lifes and when we reach the highest point ... we die.
Having said that, I just presumed that everyone's life advances more the older we get.
I do try to improve myself constantly, but you can't say this for everybody.
For example when I meet someone whom I haven't seen in a long time, I automatically expect this person to have grown mentally ... but it can happen that he or she has become a brute which is disappointing but still fact.
Why is it that some people mature and some don't ?
And if there was a sense in growing, why don't we pursue mental health more ?
The way our world works at the present is that material posession is our secret god, and human beings are being treated like ... easily replaceable.
Do you realize the double faced moral of our society ?
Why would I trust anybody with one of the most important questions of my life ?
In every other matter of importance I need evidence and reassurance of some kind.
But with the question of god it seems to me that all logical rules are being suspended.
When we start talking about different beliefs, people are suddenly free and independent to believe in everything and anything which would under normal circumstances, bring our red alert to alarm.
If you start your sentence with: I believe ...., then nobody can question this because it's been declared as a belief already.
Who'd dare to be so arrogant and force his unique opinion onto you ?
You are able to argue about facts, because science can be proofed.
But you can't argue about a belief as applying normal evidence results in running dry of arguments.
Does that mean a religion is a creation out of wishful thinking ?
I would say yes. The strong desire of people to have some kind of guidance in their lifes can be satisfied by deciding to believe in God.
Looking at this subject that way, everything starts making sense to me now.
As nobody in this world can proof you wrong anyway, you might as well develop great faith that puts you above others ... which makes you feel good, doesn't it ?
Since human beings exist on this earth, the desire for a God seems to be compulsory.
But until today, this question has not been clarified yet, the way that somebody like me feels convinced.
I am not pro or contra God ... my inner voice would just not allow me to lie to myself.
That's another point.
Considering the massive amount of dishonesty I meet everywhere in any shape or form ... why would you trust in something that defines your very life ?
You are exposed to smooth force since birth (conditioned for easy manipulation) and are being infiltrated by our corrupt society ... the way we milk our cows and eat them when we decide that their time has come to die.
How can I put ANY trust in a society, that put force upon me ?
I'm not talking about the rules which make our infrastructure work.
What I mean is the well established desire where people enjoy to control people.
Again, coming back to the fact that money is rated higher than human beings while it should be the other way around.
In a society like this ... is there still space for honesty ?
That's what you need if you are interested in facing the truth in form of God.
Or do you think you can simply continue to f**k around when it comes to religion ?
