I was raised in a Chistian home and inside the United Methodist Church. I no longer believe in institutionalized religion... for a variety of reasons but mainly because the BIBLE is not only inaccurate but wrong.
However logically, there must have been and might still be a creator of some sort as our Universe could not just come into being from NOTHING. The evidence points to the BIG BANG but again, in order to have a big bang, something had to be there in the first place - so from whence did it arrive?
Another dilemma is the fact that our universe is still expanding... BUT INTO WHAT IS IT EXPANDING? And where did it come from?
Scientists have grave concerns that human beings have evolved faster than they were supposed to have evolved according to historical data. Therefore, someone must have tampered with our DNA to accelerate the process.
While I have no idea what happens to us after death, it seems rather pointless to live for 80-100 years and then cease to exist for the rest of eternity. If that was truly the case, then logically religion was created to give us something to look forward to.
THEN THERE IS PURPOSE...
This concept results from why I was born in the first place.
It is obvious that our purpose is not POWER, CONTROL, WEALH, and ACHIEVEMENTS because that is what everyone to trying to accomplish. Since everyone is moving in that direction, then that direction is obviously wrong.
So, what else is there?
- Creating, nurturing, and teaching our children
- Taking care of our parents
- Helping our neighbors (being respectful)
- Living life with integrity and honesty and simplicity
- Caring for animals
- Understanding one's limitations
- Enjoying everyday of our life
- Appreciating everything that is free
- Acknowledging that our life is a gift
