Religious Fanatics and Fanatical Atheists
There are two kinds of people that annoy me the most - religious fanatics and fanatical atheists. I don't know what it is, but for some reason it annoys me when people are too religious. But what annoys me more is people who don't have faith at all. I can't bring myself to preach about God........yet when I meet atheists......I can't help but feel sorry for their souls.
Religion is a man-made thing. When people are enlightened by their religion, they believe that the only way others can be saved is through their beliefs. But how many religions are there that claim that they are "the one" right religion? Then wars happen over differences in belief and then people kill in the name of God. But then that contradicts any beliefs at all. We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another. Why is that?
Then there is reincarnation........it's possible. Anything is possible. I don't think we were put on this Earth to figure out what happens to us when we die. I really don't think we were meant to know. For thousands and thousands of years people have been trying to figure out the after life and what pleases God or the gods. And for years and years there have also been non-believers.
I'm neither a believer or non-believer. I just don't stress out about it. I do believe in God or some kind of higher force. I even believe in reincarnation. I believe in spirits and ghosts and angels and demons. And at the same time I am a strict believer of evolution. I am not, however, an atheist. Far from it actually. I don't consider myself being part of any religion, nor do I disagree with other people's beliefs. I just think it's better believe in something than nothing at all.
I believe in science and evolution, and I also believe in God but have no religion. Is there term for that? I just believe anything is possible.........that's all.
Speaking of religion.......this is an interesting Catholic quote:
Come down and redeem us from virtue,
Our Lady of Pain.

I really like your blog. Almost everything you've written about (that I've read!) seems to be a topic I agree with. It's almost annoying me that I didn't write about it first!
I've been saying this for years about religion. I'm quite inclined to believe in reincarnation, and if I were to choose a religion, buddhism would be the one I'd incline towards.
I also agree about your views on life and love, but that's too long a topic to get into in the comments page...
Keep up the good posting, it's very interesting to read about someone who seems to have the similar views to myself, on the other side of the world!
I really should write about more ummm sensible(?) topics like you do, but instead I seem to be drawn back towards toilet humour. You seem to hit the nail bang on the head with a lot of topics. I wish I had your clarity and focus. I could write about the same topic, but I would end up going off on bizarre tangents, and missing the point entirely!
