My Thoughts: Religion
I know that I haven't been active on AFF in a few weeks. I've been busy with school and my youtube channel. There aren't enough hours in the day (sigh) This isn't the most pleasant blog to return to, but it's something that I've been thinking about for quite a while.
Here's my thoughts on Religion.
I used to call myself a Christian. I am currently non-religious. I wasn't raised in religion. I wasn't forced to read the Bible or go to church. I've only been about 5 times and I slept through most of them. My mom doesn't really talk about God and faith that often. I didn't feel pressure to commit to Christianity via my family. As I got older and people would ask me questions about what I believed in I started to notice that I didn't know jack about the Bible or it's principles. I don't even know the 10 commandments. (Yet I've probably committed less "sins" than those so-called Christians who try to bash non-believers)
After doing some research I concluded that I am not a Christian. I don't like what it stands for. I don't like the way they portray women and gender roles, , marriage, homouality, sins, and ity, and self worth. I believe that people should do good regardless of their faith and that morals should not be determined by a book written by normal people hundreds or thousands of years.
I am not an Atheist though I am deciding whether or not I am agnostic which means I'm not 100% sure there is or isn't a God. I'm not 100% sure there's heaven and hell or the afterlife. It seems unbelievable to me that there's a place where billions of dead people hang out. Reincarnation, on the other hand, is a theory I would like to be true. There's no proof, but I'm content with my soul transferring to another being. I believe in karma and jinx. I believe that if you do good things there's a change good things will come and if you do bad things there's a change bad things will come. This isn't faith related. This is just how I feel. I also believe in miracles. For some reason things can happen for the better and you can't explain them. I wouldn't credit it to God though. I wouldn't credit the unfortunate to satan either.
The reason why I'm not Atheist is because a part of me believes that there's Something higher than us. Something with greater power watching over us. I am too selfish to believe that there is no faith and that what you see is what you get. But at least I admit it.
To sum it up, I would say if I am anything I am Spiritual. Can an Agnostic be spiritual?? Well if Christians can pick and choose what part of religion to beleive, so can I.
Just out of curiosity, What religion are you??
