I do believe that there is a higher being. A God if you will, but I don't follow any particular practise. I enjoy seeking the truth and I find that more and more to be in history and what we uncover about our past.
The "telephone game" was never a very reliable one, was it? (i.e. the bible)
In the end, I think it's important for a race like ours that we really need a belief system and the stories of Jesus and the like help many people find comfort when thinking of the unknown. |
I totally agree with all this, except, I'm not convinced there is a "God or a higher being". I am more of the belief in a "Universal Energy" that everything (and I mean everything,down to the last little molecule) moves in and around and is highly influenced by. It's this same energy that created the earth. This energy is neither negative or positive, but can be harnessed for positive or negative influences in one's life.
Basically, none of us are victims. We create the life we are in and we can choose to uncreate it. It's just a matter of how you use the energy.
Simplistically stated.
