Im just curious as to what some of your personal beliefs are. That is for those of you who have nothing more.
Now I don't want people posting about their take on Christianity, or the way they percieve Judaism. What I want is for people who don't follow any religion to share what their beliefs are regarding God, life, death, etc...
Obviously, I'll give it a start.
I believe in God. Sort of. I will never tell anyone 'I believe in God' because I don't think I ever will believe that without a doubt a God exists. This is because there is no way for me to know, so I think its stupud to claim you know there is a God. It is equally stupid to claim you know there is no God.
Regarding God, if he does exist I don't think he cares about us. Its not that he 'doesn't care' but rather that he knows that our lives are meaningless so what we do or don't do doesn't really matter.
I don't think a heaven or hell exist. Tell me, why would a God create creatures, only to have them follow him or face an eternity of pain? That sounds pretty stupid. Thats like having a kid, knowing you will treat it like any other parent would treat their child if its a boy but if its a girl you will beat, molest and torture her. Some may say that he wants you to follow the right path, and heaven/hell are just two big reasons for following this path, but still, why create creatures so they can live freely for 80 or so years, then spend the rest of eternity in pain because the spent those 80 or so years living 'wrong'?
I also don't believe there is any sort of Devil or Satan, or whatever you want to call it. Some say good can't exist without evil, but I don't believe God is good. God is not evil either. God is neutral. I believe everything outside of our lives is neutral, no good, no evil.
I don't really believe anything in regards to what happens when we die, however there are a few thigns I hope. One being that we are in control of whether or not we live again [if we can ever live again]. I don't want to simply die and wake up alive again. I know I wouldn't know I died, but I want there to be something more to existance then life. I also hope there is more then just existance when it coems to death. While I believe everything will be neutral after we die, I hope we still have the ability to desire thigns and do things without living again. A few people have commented about how they would like death to be like the construct in The Matrix, and this is what Im getting at.
Thats just a bit of what I believe. So, what about you?
