ome personal issues going on which involved me moving, a break up, and some other non-interesting dramatic events that I would prefer to skim over.
So hopefully we can pick up were we left off, and you dont hate me for going incommunicado.
Okay back on topic.
I was thinking about Religion, and how people see it in relation to themselves, and I really don't get the need for proofs.
Why do you need to Prove the Bahia faith in terms of Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, etc. What proofs do you have for these other religions? Why do you believe in Christ? What teachings does he teach that you cling to so vehemently that you require some kind of proof?
OR if you are a jew. Do you REALLY belive in the 10 commandments? Is that why you are a jew? Because you really spiritually connect with them?
Not to be offensive, but thats kind of funny to me; (And its also funny to all of my Jewish friends who I talked to about this). To them religion is just as inherited as skin colour, you are what you are. To me thats ridiculous! Religion (as I see it) is supposed to be a personal belief based on your own understanding, not something that you inherit and pass down from generation to generation.
The only 'proofs' that I know about are written in books and these seem questionable as they are full of other fantastic stories that either require you to not belive in logic/science/common sense, and require you to belive in 'magical powers'.
Miracles are only good for the people who witness them. Were is your proof? The Bible says Jesus did all these fantastic things. So what? The bible also says that humanity all spoke one language originally, built a really tall tower to get into heaven, and then God was pissed and smashed it. I believe what science can prove. I believe in Dinosaurs, I believe in cavemen, I believe that slavery was eventually abolished in the Caribbean, and I believe that marmalade taste great on toast.
Where does your belief come from? Some kind of unexplainable personal supernatural experience? Please let me know.
Is it just me or does the world look crazzy when you stop to look at it?
seriously, crazy.
