i've spent countless hours sitting on my porch looking at nature. wether it be trees, clouds, birds, deer, my animal's reactions, you name it. when my sister lived her (which she left yesterday so you don't worry about her getting on my screen name anymore) she used to get worried and think something was wrong with me because i'd sit on the porch staring off into space. moving out here to country really changed me. i don't need friends anymore. i have myself, my cat, and the world as my friend. i'm a loner now, and i'm happy with that. i'm sorta like a monk with a computer. haha.
"this is a repeated problem throughout religion, that whoever doesnt beleive what I beleive will be punished. somehow i find it hard to beleive that EVERYONE will be burning in hell.... or some form of it, together roasting marshmellows and singing campfire songs."
And there you have it, you have seriously nailed it on the head one of the things that gave me that extra push away from religion. Around 13 or 14 I started thinking bout that, and just the thought of it really pissed me off. So I said fuck it, and here I am today.
i was raised by Christian parents yet Christianity was never pushed upon me until i had already decided for myself it was what i wanted to be. back in middle school. through friends.
now hearing all of the riff raff about how it is implausible and what not i've began to question things normally i'd just throw my questioning out the window but this has made me think and i agree as well with what antoine quoted from your entry
but in the end, i guess i'd rather believe in something than nothing at all
that was very deep...you make some very good points, all of which ones that i have questioned. i dont go to church, i never have--the only time i go is with friends ive been to all types of church they all vary even if it is the same form of religion they teach you different things. I dont know anything about anyone except that Jesus died on the cross for our sins (i think thats right), if he died for our sins why are we going to hell for them?
