Believing
Why do we believe in things? It creates a sense of false hope. Some things are OK to believe in, but most things, aren't. Like the afterlife. When we die, how can we live on? There is no such thing as a soul. Heaven and Hell were created to install fear. My girlfriend finds it appalling that I don't believe in the afterlife. I won't bash somebodies beliefs, just question. I don't want the decisions that I make in life, to be influenced on what I want to happen in said "afterlife". Why should I? Can't I just live my life for what it is, instead of making it something that is seen as pure? Why? Another thing that I dislike is any fairytale. Yes, children shouldn't be reading/watching scary or bad things, but watching fairytales gives them the impression that life is peachy. Why should I lie to my kid like that? Love, is a great thing. But its not at all like what it is in fairytales. And that's what we are lead to believe when we are kids. Love can be very evil. In the words of Eminem, "Love is evil, spell it backwards I'll show ya." [Evol when pronounced sounds like Evil]. Take it from someone who has seen both sides of love. So fairytales are a big NO with me. Another belief that bothers me is that people feel like you NEED to believe in something. Why? You can believe in your god, and I'll be right. It's simple. I'm not going to to fall to the puppetry of religion. Who the hell are you to tell me that what I'm doing is wrong? I've had people tell me that it is wrong to not believe in god. And I say, "Why? If god is as great and loving as the bible makes him out to be, then I will get into heaven as well." Leaving them with nothing to say. I don't think that, if there actually is a god, that he is a good and loving as the bible says he is. Nor do I believe in heaven. I will never lie to myself like that. I won't believe in anything of the sorts. Beliefs lead to being let down. When these people die and they realize that they never had gotten drunk, waited until they were married to have sex, let the belief of heaven and hell influence their decisions, and that it was all for nothing, then I will be there to laugh in their faces. Or maybe I won't, because there is no afterlife. Seeing is believing, and that's all there is to it.

What proof is there that God doesn't exist. You are referring mostly to Christianity which says God is a man who lives in a place called heaven. Christianity as well as other religions are extremely metaphorical. Anyone who takes any religion literally is an idiot. Most religions are outdated and people are looking for something that actually makes sense. Our universe is huge and there are many theories of multiple dimensions. What if God has no form whatsoever? What if God is just formless energy? Stephen Hawking believes that before the big bang there was no such thing as space or time, just energy. And as far as the human soul goes, there could very well be a place in our brains that is connected with this so called God. After all, the brain is still one of the least understood things in science. There are so many things we don't know. Sometimes its good to consider that "something else" could exist and sometimes its good to consider "something else" doesn't exist. There is no proof either way.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what Ben Paul sais
ReplyDelete@ben paul: You are never called upon to prove a negative. That's a law of logic.
