Hello Readers, I hope you are all well. It has been the longest amount of time since I started this Blog in between posts, I think... Well, that being said we will just get on with it. Enjoy!
It seems lately that I have had severe writers block given the time gap. Actually, maybe it has been because I had nothing to talk about regarding this Blog’s topic, per se. Whatever it may have been I do have something to say now, sort of... If you say Atheists do not know anything about religion you would be dead wrong as I have pointed out that out previously, Google it. They statistically know the most about your religion than you do... Another unique and related fact is one that I have also mentioned before, typically the higher educated you are the less likely you are to practice a Faith. I find that stat very interesting... but I digress, let me get to the thing I want to say versus things I constantly repeat...
I have recently been to being a complete Atheist in my mind, but to many I am already, but I am in a unique situation as my closets beliefs are Eastern and God(s) are less, or not at all, important, or a factor in religious practice for many. I do believe in Gods (devas) in the higher levels of the Samsara, however, there is not 1 deity that has making everything happen for the past 14 billion years. As what I and many others refer to it as is a belief in 1 and only “Creator God.” If there is and he/she allows suffering like there is in this plain that I would not have good feelings about that deity and you are suppose to blindly follow him and be willing to die or kill for that? You are crazy if you feel that way. If we are like him why the suffering monotheists? The proof truly is in the pudding and we have a very clean container in that regard (facts), at least that is how I feel.
Sorry about the above rant, I try to always look at it subjectively but I am proof of a fact no one can deny, I am not perfect. Okay, back to looking at things with a subjective perspective...
I feel torn in my belief structure at the moment. Actually to the point of coming up with my own Faith, which is actually the root reason for this Blog in the very beginning but the manifesto never came forth... or maybe it did and I did not catch it... we will never know... and who cares? However, that is what is happening. I believe in that religious truth is an equation and the all religions out there in some ways answers some of the equation, some a lot more than others, but none are truly are the solution to the equation and I am not sure if we will ever find one... and only time will tell... Who knows I might burn in Hell or be on a high plain after this life. Will I even know? I do not know... and I do not think I need to in order to believe it or it to be true, or of it being possible to be fact, as many of the things you believe may be too, until disproven by science. I am a good person so logically I should go to a better place, as in my word there is a big ladder to climb (Samsara), that is how I look at it.
Sorry this post was so short and for the lack of substance... it really sucked, in my opinion, but was a decent attempt to break my writers block. Hopefully I will find that spark again and write a post that will be thought provoking... again time will tell...
