Day 4: Your views on religion.

Oh yay I missed a day! I only say this as it is past midnight. In my mind it is still the right day. Hey I was out all day so it is a plus I wasn't on the computer all day for once.

My views on religion. Well. I like to live by my own beliefs. Sure I ain't perfect but I don't see a problem following most of the good lessons from the bible. I don't believe it. But that is simply because I don't trust humans. I don't think people could have kept a sacred text pure for all this time. People are corrupt. People in power are corrupter. It just smells like a lot of it is written or re-written to control people.

I don't believe in god. I don't have a reason but I am not bothered by it. I am very down to earth and try my best to treat people right and act proper. I guess I am not afraid to be judged by people so if anyone or anything judged my life and all its secrets I hope they would be happy with the effort I put in. I have made mistakes, sure, but they are the best way to learn.

I really don't see how people can say god doesn't make sense though. Can a human mind understand a god? A being that is infinitely complex? There is however this idea: "God can do anything so he could create a boulder even he couldn't move. But then if he couldn't move it, he can't do everything." I like this idea because it is an obvious and simple paradox. But it is just humans that can't comprehend a god. I mean I wouldn't accept a god that I could understand. I have heard the comeback to this that people are made in the image of god so should be able to understand. I can make a dog understand the command "sit". If I made something in the image of a dog, say a painting or photo, I don't think this "understanding" will rub off on it.

As for my views on religious people. Some people say they are annoying. Well some of them ARE annoying. But so are some of the people who say they are annoying. Some people are annoying. I think that's what I mean. What I mean is they are people. And usually nice people as well.

I had a conversation about people who try to convince people god exists and those who tell others to not bother. The point was made that people who say the latter have no reason to do it. What if they are wrong? It is selfish.
To a degree that is true. More than anything people just want to be right. And they want their friends to acknowledge it as well. If anything both parties are guilty of this. It is greed but desiring friends isn't bad is it?

There are too many grey areas to cover for me. I could go more into it but I would never stop. And I don't mean in the getting wiser and wiser way. I mean the going round in circles way. If you disagree with my opinion just check again later and I will probably be at the other end of the cycle and agree with you. Unless you like cycles as well. You should talk to my friend Pete. He likes bicycles. I think they are his god.

In the end though, being honest, I think chaos is good. To destroy something is to only set the foundations for something greater. (That's not a quote, its all me. I impressed myself.) I am not saying destruction is the way but a balance is. And seeing as chaos is usually frowned upon so much I find it refreshing. People who simply destroy though are terrible. It isn't balanced at all.

If all else fails here is a quote:
"Don't judge me, we are all going to die. I intend to at least deserve it."
