Religion...
I simply dont get it... I really dont... I cant grasp the concept of being so absoluty shure of one thing or another in relation to life, afterlife, great creators and dogma. I mean, how can you REALLY be sure? I have always beleived and will always beleive that there absolutly no way that anyone can for a fact be sure of what they beleive. Now follow me closely on this one because i'm not even sure if I'm makeing sense to myself. When I say noone can be sure, I dont mean as in the solidity of ones beleife in something, for anyone can be absolutly sure of what they BELEIVE. But rather in where they are getting the messege of what they beleiev from. How can any holy scripture or scrole or tablet or what have you be trusted and be absolutly proven to be from the mouth of god/goddess/munky/whatever? Theres SO MANY. I mean, how can just one be right? Perhapse none of them are right, perhapse Religions are just things to make people feel better about their life and death and theres no such thing a soul and theres no point to life at all. Or perhapse they are all right and theres a bunch of greater beings campeigning for the biggest following so one of them can win the office jackpot? or a different beleifs different destinations thing is going on? Or maybe I'm just freeky for being only 15 and thinking about this kind of stuff and chooseing not to make assumptions about powers that be...if there be any... Forgive me for rattleing on and probably not makeing much sense...*sigh* I'm going to bed.
