Personal Beliefs. Read With Caution If You're Sensitive to Yours. - Comments

I know what you mean. Remember we only have one life, so live it your way best you can.

Thank you for mentioning him!!! I can't wait to read more than what I've read from him so far. That was very helpful, I appreciate it.

Most of this is psychology. I recommend Freud.

I'm pretty much the same way. Like, we don't even know if we know why we're here. And that's what makes me think that there could be some sort of unknown thing out there. That and the way that certain music and literature and art makes me feel. Some things are just so magical you feel like they are god. But then again, it could just be the amazing human brain at work.

@ pet sounds
I get that. That is why, even as a child it was impossible for me to even have faith in the religion of Christianity. Or any other religion with gods or a god. I just still have to think something is out there. Just a little piece of me. Not necessarily a God that knows and controls absolutely everything that is. I think we ourselves have control over that. Every decision we make daily affects something in some small way. Therefore we are all in control of what happens in our lives to a certain extent. Or atleast that's what I feel to be true to me.

This is somewhat similar to how I view things, except I definitively don't believe in any kind of higher power. I used to vaguely think that maybe something was there, but then I realized that it is literally torture (for me) to go around believing in vague concepts that I don't understand and aren't tangibly real in any way. Until there is proof otherwise, I won't believe in any sort of god or mysticism because in all its vagueness and ambiguity, all it does is get in the way of my personal intellectual advancement and understanding of the logical world around me. I understand why you believe what you do, though. I am just interested in believing in what's true because I think that would be the most intelligent way to go about things, and as far as I'm concerned, it is true that there is no God or higher being.

Oh yeah! I'm all about self power. The mind I guess. It's especially hard if you live in a small town filled with Christian southerners. Lol. But aside from my hometown I have always been very open-minded and spirited.

Yes. People are too quick to judge and too slow to understand.
I have no problems with faith, I think it enhances the way humans think and gives us something to ponder. It's just not my personal choice of path. I get hate for that, I get respect. You'd be surprised how few people actually care.

@ C418
Yes, because I know how some people could comment their own thoughts. I just didn't want the, "I will pray for you." And the, "that makes no sense." And, "there is only god!" Comments. lol. But it is sad that I should even have to type that at the end.

I like this. I like to see people confident in their faith.
As an agnostic myself, I neither accept not deny the existence of a higher power. Whatever comes, comes.

It's sad that you have to fear being bashed, though, that's sad.
