I believe every word that man just said.
If God EVER existed then we wouldn't be so incredibly confused on the entire nature of religion and by thy name of God or however the Old English language people say to make it seem more important than it really is ever proven to be. I'm certainly not confused about this World's past. I'm not confused on our founding presidents. I'm not confused on our World Wars. I'm not confused of finding fossil's and bone structures in the ground that resembles the yesteryear of the dinosaurs. None of it is confusing because it's all documented and proven in a logical and convincing way.
To me it's this. I've grown up in a place to where even though Religion wasn't forced upon me, I still believed in God because that is the politically correct thing to do as a child. You hear it from everywhere even if it wasn't forced in a family house hold. As my years went on and how incredibly insane and flawed the entire story of God and the Bible is, I've came up with my own conclusion that I don't believe a word of it or the moral's of "life's rules."
In fact, it was NEVER forced upon me until I met my girlfriend who is hardcore Christian. Her family sure does try to coax me into manipulative situations regarding the fact and it's very difficult because I care for her so I attend Church service's to try and be open minded and do it for her. I leave there every time hating it even more. It's just so ridiculous to me in every sense of the word. People falling on the ground saying their healed, saying they just graced the touch of God. It's just all wrong to me.
I feel VERY uncomfortable in a place where it's designed to make you feel good. Praying out loud and yelling out, lifting their hands in the air and fainting. Freaks me out if anything else and the stories being read by the pastor doesn't even make a tad bit of sense and I'm a person who has great comprehension skills.
Religion was set up deep to the point to where there's a perfect fix for everything. Surgeon removed my gall bladder? God sent the doctor. What about the filth in this world? That's the work of the devil. Something tells me there's a hell of a lot more bad and corruption in this world than there are miracles and people living in mansions with great health.
If that's the case, how come God can't over power the Devil, something HE created since he created all things that exist in this universe? This is God's plan, yet, the Devil is the reasoning for bad. Really sucks to know that our own creator of good doesn't even have a handle on things. I still don't get why he made his own off-spring so frail.
Jump off a 5 foot ledge? Busted ankle. We can't even live in the climate within our own body temperatures to survive in the place HE built for us. Jesus? Lets make him walk on water and heal the sick by the slightest of touch! And if Adam and Eve were white, then where the hell did black people come from? Disturbing. I'll believe the theory of the BIG BANG and its big creation over time of matter, atoms, and energy that one day exploded into a big ball of matter that fed off each other which created the uncreatable. Better that than a mystical man in the sky who just happened to create us out of boredom one day and waited centuries to release us and send his son to save us whenever the time was right. The idea of God is just TOO easy in a complicated reasoning. Nothing is that easy and God is just that, easy to believe he just created everything END OF STORY.
