What did I just say? :p |

I have a strong belief, I still have questions. Having faith should not be the end of one's religious explorations. Faith needs to be challenged, questioned, and explored as that will lead to a deeper understanding and closer connection with one's god(s). Alternatively, deciding to not have faith should also be only the start of one's exploration of life's questions. |
and yet, after all that exploration, it still comes down to faith. the untestable and unprovable gap. so after all the soul-searching (pun intended) youre still left with a bit of magic youre just supposed to accept. logically unacceptable as far as i am concerned.
religions evolved as a form of social control. |

I almost wish I had a strong belief in something, because then maybe I wouldn't have so many questions....but there's no way I'm going to follow a certain group of people (when I don't truly believe), once again for comfort and to feel like I know where we're all going, no question. It seems so pathetic. |
And that's a good way to feel. If no one ever asked the tough questions (what's causing this infection? how come things fall to the ground? what's making these pieces of iron stick together?), then humanity would never have progressed as far as it has.
The fact of the matter is, our world and our universe is full of tough questions. Religion is SUPPOSED to be a set of moral and spiratual guidelines to help you live a more fulfilling life. But the unfortunate fact is that people begin taking the metaphors literally, using the fictional stories as factual answers, and refuse to entertain any other solution. And then, humanity stagniates. |

There is but one true answer:

I think all is nonreligious people are sometimes a little jelaous of the faith and feeling the believers have.
I wish I could think like them sometimes- |

You cant disprove the existance of a devine being(s). Im talking outside of the bible and scriptures, just in general.
Even Einstein after all his research said that there must be some sort of god because there is so much that just simply cannot be explained.
I do though, have a belief in reincarnation. I think when our souls are finished using the body we are in now, we find another body to use. |
i used to kinda like that theory, but then i got to thinking. (also i added in all living things/animals etc (plants, idk)
but so if thats true, everything for the most part makes sense except that what explains rapid population growth?
and then it hit me.
worms.
you cut em in half, both halves live. two out of one.
its all because of worms |
