Extracts from a book that I’m currently reading:
“From where I sit, all Religion and Spiritual Thought are the same thing. They exist to make People feel better about living, to give them some kind of moral code, and to help them feel better about dying by promising something better when their life ends, provided they follow all of God’s Rules.”
“Faith is the belief of something that can’t be proven to exist.”
“I think God is something that People use to avoid reality. I think faith allows People to reject what is right in front of our eyes, which is that this thing, this life, this existence, this consciousness, or whatever word you want to use it for it, is all we have and all we’ll ever have. I think People have faith because they want and need to believe in something, whatever that something is, because life can be hard and depressing and brutal if you don’t.”
My exact thoughts on Higher Powers and Religion. Of course I do have a lot more reasons why I do not believe. I’m in denial as some believers would say.
Read and think about it. Very interesting ain’t it? It’s a very sensitive topic which I happen to beinterested in. I’m not trying to diss any Religion or God, so please do not feel offended. Read with an open mind and you might or might not find truth in it – depending on whether you are willing or unwilling to think accept it. (:
