I feel the EXACT same way. And Chris, this will indeed turn into flamefest if we don't keep close watch on it. Because it's basically inevitable someone is going to bash someone else.
But yeah. Basically, I feel like if religion was WRITTEN by man, then well.. I don't exactly trust it. If history "itself" was written by Eastern European white males (A good chunk of it) what're the chances shit is going to be changed / mistranslated / misinterpreted? It's a pretty good one, I'd say.
I like to think nothing of it, honestly. It's far beyond mine or anyone elses comprehension. I just live life how I think I should and not worry about things. A little naive some people may think, but I don't believe in religion.
Aggreed, I'm a bit lazy to totally say what you said but I feel that EXACT way.
But I would like to consider myself that I believe in god but I don't. So I guess that makes me aitheist since I don't see any ponit in EVERY SINGLE religion besides an outline but that's not what they started those religions anyway.
I think I'm gonna buy evey religions official book/"bible" thing just to have some knowledge and be able to quote and debate in this topic.
I'd also like to believe in evolution but I have two flaws in believing that:
1.) I don't think we came from mokey's, I'd rather like to believe it was from neandrethals or however you spell it but that's still evolution....?
2.)If the monkeys made us why are there still some monkeys. But, one monkey making us doesn't mean all monkey's have too.
I love this topic so much, actually. I don't like it, well IDK. It's just such a "great" topic to talk about you know.
So I kinda sound one sided in a lot of areas but right now I feel undecided.
