My take on Religion

Posted by lemiffe in Life, Religion on Sep 21st, 2009 | 2 comments

I do not believe in the Greek gods, or the Latin gods. I do not believe in Ra. I do not believe in Buddha, even though the rules of nature seem to be everywhere. I do not believe in Jesus, Moses, the Dalai Lama, or other physical entities as divine entities, after all they are all human, and were governed by earth’s physics. I don’t believe in the catholic/christian god as they believe in. Nor do I believe in heaven and hell, as they were both the product of human creativity.

My beliefs are simple. The concept of God is a name we gave to an entity that governs us all. It is obvious that all of this had to be created by something, and something is in us all, something gives us the spark of life, something gave the world it’s animals and plants, something is ever present. God as I see it is energy in it’s purest form. As religions state: God is omnipresent, all mighty, in all and everything, it is timeless, and governs all rules of the universe, therefore I can only deduce from this that God is energy. It is in all of us, at all time, and in all space.

Why fight wars over belief? I may believe in energy as the source of all creation, you may believe in a god with a mighty fist that will fall down on all those who misbehave and shall condemn them to eternal damnation, and your friend may believe in Allah, get up in the morning at 5 AM to pray, and go through the month-long Ramadan. But is it really worth our blood and toil? To kill over one’s beliefs? Why should what he or she think become a matter of hatred for me? Why should I let myself change my attitude towards the thoughts of another human being? Live and let live. Believe and let believe. That is my take on religion.
