I'm confused when it comes to religion. It sounds weird to say that life was randomly created. At the same time, it sounds ignorant to say that someone or something created everything. If there is a higher being, I guess I'll find out when I die.
I see no reason to believe in something that tells me what to do. I rather live the way I want to. Is there a single person on this board who hasn't "committed adultery"?
Also, I feel like religion was created for people. Religion scares people from murdering and doing horrible deeds because they think they will go to "Hell". So, people try to lead a good life to get into "Heaven" or achieve salvation.
Other than that, I feel like religion has been the biggest cause for violence and ignorance.
this is a great post, i find that i believe in God a lot because i prefer to live in a universe that was sparked by a purpose rather than by accident, idk if that makes sense
like i said i dont believe in something just because it was told or written, i dont believe the way my parents do for instance about people and the universe, i prefer science because it is based on factual evidence (and scientific theories evolve* based on new findings, instead of being stubborn) and logic, and i dont see how the existence of God should have any interference at all with evolution, people want to view things to literally and think that one thing has to contradict another when in reality they should try to figure out how everything could mesh together
some people are just stubborn in that way though, i would rather view God as making the spark that turned into the giant inferno that is our universe today, no matter how far back it goes, even if it means he created the giant blobs they talked about with m theory that would smack into each other creating big bangs, even if you just view God, not as a human with genie powers, but as the true purpose for everything that unfolds from an existing infinite universe, then so be it
