Question yourself and question the authority.

Questioning The Highest Authority
Recently. Very recently, I have learned something about myself. I no longer believe in god or any other higher being. However, with that being said, I am open to the concept of a higher being than that of ourselves. Why this? Ignorance. I have read the bible(several times) and I realised that all it is at least to me is just stories. I am not telling you god is not real cause nobody knows that including myself but I ask you to question your beliefs and whether you believe in them or if you are just a sheep following the most charisimatic shepard known only as religion. People are ignorant and don't truly know what they follow, and I intended to differentiate from that. I'm sure most of you have had christianity or some other religion force fed down your throat your whole life and we believed it like history. I don't need a reason really to tell you why I made this choice. I will however say that the idea of religion has killed more people than any dictator or any tyrant ever has and if that being is the absolute right, then what is wrong?

Religion has not killed people. Only people led astray by their own ignorance kill people. Take the Salem Witch Trials - were those women witches? No. Someone said they were witches, prying on people's 'godfearing' beliefs, most likely because said witch pissed someone off. Did you know that there were a group of girls who pretended to be possessed by witches and so would name random women who either they were jealous of or who had made one of them mad.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I oppose the idea of most religions because many people, not because of God, but because of their own ignorance, are not very accepting. Especially the churches in town who think it their right to judge people in the name of God. God does not judge someone by 'assumptions' - He alone knows everyone a person does or thinks. He alone knows of the journey a person goes through. He judges them, when they die, by that - themselves. No one else.
I believe in God. I think that the reason are so opposed to believe in Him is because of all that people have done in the name of God. God did not tell them to burn people at the stake, or behead them, or whatever. He allowed Man the right of free will. Should He have done that? Maybe, maybe not. Fact is, He did, and so Man's actions are separate from his own.
Sorry about this really long comment, and I don't mean to sound argumentative. This is just what I believe about God, and the typecast that comes with the term 'religion.'
This is Cassie, btw. xP
