Thoughts on religion.

I haven't blogged in some time...wauw. But I haven't had anything

exciting to tell, other than stuff from my life and that I've begun

to write in my Diary. But just now I've begun to think about religion.

I'm sure that I'm not really a religious person, but I still wonder about

it. What is it that drives a person to rely so much on a 'God'. Something

so fictional that can't be proven. We don't have any documentation

that this 'God' ever did exist. Sure we have bibles, Korans and such

but that's not concrete documentation or evidence. Those stories were

told over and over and was at last written down on paper. 

Misunderstandings would've easily occurred in the constant repetition

of the stories. It's like the old saying. 'One feather easily becomes

ten hens'. So these stories might not even be trustworthy. But then

again. People always need beliefs to keep their faith in life going.

Any kind of belief. For some it's enough to believe in love. But for

others a religion is needed. To believe that someone created the world

just for us to be in it. That everything that happens is his will. That he

will decide where you go, what you do, when you die, what happens

to you, if you get sick or whatever. He decides everything. That 

one great person, who is mightier than us all. But I just cannot believe

that at all. I believe that everything we do has a meaning to it. Yes. I can't

really describe my beliefs, they are quite strange.But I'll try: imagine a family

tree. The log is the decisions your parents make for you and when you

start deciding for yourself, the log turns into branches. Those branches will

be the smaller decisions you make in life. But at some point the branches

will turn into twigs.  Those twigs are heavy choices. When you pick a

 twig/a choice you edit your own story and your own destiny. If you had

chosen another twig you might have ended up a different place. But in the

end you always end up in one place. The place you were always destined

to be. When you end up there? That depends on which choices you make.

And that ladies and gentlemen is my belief. I'm definitely no Christian, 

Muslim, Buddhist nor Jew. I don't know if I'm an Atheist. I just don't want

to put a label on it. Religion is not something that I want to get into, but I 

think it's an interesting topic and something I love to talk about. 

Well. Have a great night everyone!
