Quote from NightSwan
I don't believe in god.
There are no reasons for believing in a god anyway.
My friend once told me that she started believing after she missed a flight that crashed, I asked her "what about the people who died? didn't god love them? where you better than those who died?"
Some say that when something bad happens thats god testing you.
I say its life, no god is responsible for anything, how would you explane Hitler? or terorisem? ir cancer? and such.
What about a child's death? or a new born. Did they do anything wrong to deserve death? Because death is considered the worst punishment, like in the jewish religion- if somebody kills himself he is buried in a different location.
I can understand why people believe in god, they want to convice themselves that there is a reason for all the crap that happens.
But when people are tought to believe it's just stupid, because it's not realy faith.
Religion also causes many bad things.
Those who hate people that are different (because thier religion doesnt aprove them) it's all very sad and pointless and hurtful..
People should believe in themselves.. not in a story about heaven behind the moon and hell in the middle of the earth...
(here's my list according to orthodoxy (christian)) ...at least that is what i believe, i hope my thoughts reflect it.
1. god wants ppl to believe in themselves and improve and choose the path that they want. (free will)
2. god does not kill ppl, the devil does. (in my faith)
3. yes some people are thought, however through that teaching you can achieve faith. you can either receive or deny god. i mean you observed, tought yourself, maybe someone tought you and you realized there is no god, and you have faith in that belief.
4. we have free will that is why things happen. we can somewhat control what happens, even natural disasters (many) are caused because of humans (changing the chemicals in the ozone, global warming, flash floods, building on top of an animals habitat)
5. just because someone dies, it does not mean they were bad or you are better therefore you live, sometimes death is a relief (if youre stuck with a disease your whole life and you cant take it anymore, if you live a life of "torture" and one in which you experience a lot of pain, is it better to live? idk, it depends on the person, but according to my beliefs we will be judged at the very end, and if you did live a short life you don't get sent to hades you are judged by how much you lived and what you did (you probably have a lot greater chance of going to heaven. idk i'm not god)
6. there is no heaven behind the moon and hell in the middle of the earth.lol. im sry but that is amusing to me. its a ridiculous concept to me. sry for those who believe that.
- these are my beliefs discard them if you want, i don't like the whole idea of forcing religion upon ppl. it angers me. believe what you like. in the long run we will find out at the end whose right. lol. all of the faiths have some flaw its true, they cannot solve every question, however i do not think that matters because ppl still will have blind faith, and that is amazing. it is good to have faith, any sort because it keeps us moving and it shapes our life. i have respect for those who cherish things like that. through that they empower themselves.
.........the end ..........finally........
