I personally think religions are meant as a means of connecting within self, to understand a part of what we already are, and relate it to how to handle our personal experiences. To align it's spiritual and physical compasses so to speak, and to stay on path through all of these experiences.
The bible can help one meditate its own light into a sun. The Son is a(n) intended pun/actual representation of selflessness. An act to be followed, and that was followed as data and evidence supports concurrently. Even the Naked Archeologist cannot disprove the Bible, and it is the greatest selling book on earth cosistently for many reasons.
I dont think Atheism quite defines or equals freedom or independence, but rather defines how closed a mind can truely be towards what it cannot physically see, I am extremely weary of blissful ignorance. It seems to me it could confine and create self inflicted boundaries, and define self's future limitations with our own thoughts. I dont really want any boundaries in my life. I take all things any man says at at least 20% inaccurate, this post is probably no different...lol
In truth, I dont think we have an ability to be spiritless, no matter how hard we try, including atheists.
A son cannot disown the genes of his father. Your spiritual dna cannot disown the genes of its source either. So here we are...
We ourselves are an extension of this energy, like it or not, and to our own chosen degree, all proginy of this light. We cannot disown what we are, we can only build boundaries to support what we want to believe...
Let's see, hmm, what do we want to beleive?...
I think religions attempt to answer these qestions in ways humans might understand and cope with, some more selflessly and productively than others.
Wow!! All I can say is some things are true if you believe in them or not. I do know things were never meant to be the way they are but I did'nt make the rules I just live here. The best answer to the meaning of life I've heard is "To love and to learn as to better understand gods creation and to be kind to others as to reduce the suffering of this world" was in a book I read. I don't believe I have to go to church or join a cult or any bs like that if there is a God and I believe there is and we are his children then there is nothing that can't be forgiven cause as a father I would never forsake my child no matter what, she could kill everyone in this world and the next and I would still love her. But just cause you can don't mean you should. I should also add my believes and the reality of dealing with me are diferent things I wish they wernt but it's hard to be nice to assholes and there sure are alot of them. Just realized I am stoned and off the subject I think you'll be the age you desire or the appearance you desire.
