I Beleive

I believe that God exists. however I don’t think that he is the only one. I don’t believe that one single being could create a world with so much harmony and amazing beauty as ours. I believe that there are other gods who helped to shape our world - one who helped nature to bloom into what it is, one to shape the earth and another to bring shape to animals, things like that. Everything takes a team and I don’t believe that even God could escape that.

I don’t believe that anyone could ever be totally sure about what or who or how god exists but only that he does exist. I believe that the all the holy books (the Bible, the Koran, ect.) of the world are versions of what I’m writing now, someone’s personal beliefs. Mine are hardly accurate and theirs couldn’t possibly be either.

I believe that we should just live our lives and not worry about trying to make God proud. We should live our lives to be proud of ourselves. If god truly did make us in his image then he’ll be fine with what we’ve done and we will find absolution in his loving embrace. and maybe we already have. We should be thankful to be living in a world to great as this, not be worried about what’s to come next.

Whenever you tell a story you get a little bit wrong and I believe that’s what’s happened with religion. at one point we had it right but now it’s like the end of the line of a game of telephone - slightly off. I believe that the best I can do is try to make sense of all of them. I believe that if none of us are right then none of us are wrong.

I believe that I want my beliefs to be private because of afraid of being persecuted for them. I don’t agree with organized religion and I don’t ever want to be a part of it. I believe that organized religion leads to a “we’re better than you” mentality. If nothing else, it excludes those who don’t believe in exactly what that group believes in. I find that I am more passionate about my beliefs when I don’t have to defend them. if that means being alone in them, then that’s fine.
