i wish for peace to the families who hurt.

people dismiss me being an atheist with:
1. bad childhood
2. emo punk teenager
3. ignorant.


how can you read the papers on any day, and not feel compelled to question your beliefs about god and religion? how can you believe in karma when, time and time again so much punishment just doesn't make any sense at all. what in the world is gods will? who is this god?
if he exists i say to him, fuck you. i refuse to be part of this blind cycle, a cycle that promises justice and never delivers, that promises hope but only kills in the name of faith, a cycle that forces children to lose their innocence and define themselves by the house of worship they go to.

people have been killed, over the years, in the name of god. from the pagans, to the Christians, to the Jews, the Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, Parsis. and for what? what is the damn point? because this god that has held the world captive for centuries, he is lost on me.

if you read the papers on any day, or you have read some part of history, and you do not feel compelled to at least question you beliefs,
i think its you who is ignorant.
its you.

Everyone probably questions. We should all ask questions. But I suppose all of this just comes down to choice.

Truth is more of perception than fact I think.

At least for a lot of ppl. When there are no facts that can accurately explain a phenomenon such as 'How it all began' thats when theories happen. We are comfortable having answers and when we don't get them we bring in theory. Theory opens door to perception and choices. You can either choose to believe something or completely disregard it or simply remain oblivious or apathetic. So whether God exists or not is a relative thing..because if he does then none of us can prove it and if he doesn't then none of us can prove it. At least so far. So what do we do? We are out of our comfort zone...Not having answers is uncomfortable to us because we consider ourselves the dominant more evolved species at least in this galaxy.

Theists strongly believe in him and attribute all the good in their lives as a blessing and the bad as his way to teach us or lessons. Atheists are considered more rational and science loving. They like to be assertive and like to take responsibility and credit when something good happens and when something bad happens they like to say 'HA and you say God exists', Bullshit theres so much crap in the world how can he exist.

Greek mythology shows Gods to have very human like qualities. They are flawed like us and not perfect and complete. Ever think that may be God does exist and may be he's just flawed? He's complete right? So may be he's both good and evil packed into one and over the last few decades may be the evil in him has been predominant. Its just a theory.

I like to keep an open mind and refuse to label myself as a theist or atheist. I believe one day we might just find out and in the end just like at the end of the movie Men in Black...our world , our universe is just a marble in a sack of marbles held by an alien.

May be God's an alien.

Sorry about the long reply. You made me think. I think I'll make a post out of this.

your long comment published.
what im trying to say here, isnt to dismiss either the presence or absence of god, but the lack of critical thinking on part of the general public about this 'god'. as someone who doesn't believe in a proactive god, i still have no proof to say it for certain doesn't exist. but as a theist cant say for certain either, that it does exist.

i simply feel as if people deceive themselves, and thereby deceive generations, by blind following. i think it is ignorant to walk behind someone without ever looking up.

is all.
