Faith - Spirituality - Belief

 

Sundays are usually a day of rest and relaxation; a day to spend with the family; a church service day, or a reflection of spirituality.

When I was growing up, my family went to church 52 Sundays a year even when on vacation.  This was mandatory until I graduated from high school.

After I got married, we attended church for a while, stopped, then started again because the minister would give us free counseling if we attended his church.  We still got a divorce.

During my second marriage, we attended church for a while until the minister was let go because he had been convicted of more than THREE DUIs.  It was the minister whose sermons were so provocative that we couldn't wait to hear the next one.

MY RELIGIOUS FAITH/BELIEF...  has changed over the years and while I believe in some sort of supreme being who might be considered THE CREATOR, I have given up and turned my back on institutionalized religion.

I have read the Bible cover to cover, taken notes, and discovered numerous inconsistencies that have never been explained or addressed by ministers.  The Bible's timeline says the Universe is only 6000 years old when science has proven that is not true.

How come the Bible never addresses that inaccuracy???

"My Kingdom is not of this world..."  Jesus said which gives me the impression it is somewhere out there in the vast universe or perhaps in another dimension.

It is this statement that makes me think God/Jesus are EXTRATERRESTRIALS perhaps from our future before the end of the life/universe occurs to do entropy.

If would be nice for RELIGION to just tell us the truth and see if we want to belief in it or not...

Science says the universe started with a BIG BANG, meaning that something came from nothing and that does not make much sense either.

Our universe could just be a repeating scenario of creation - growth - stabilization - decline - ending - creation.

All of which is set into motion by some extraterrestrial who survived the first cycle...
