Disclaimer: this is a bloody long post.. do not read if your attention span is as short as a 5 year old
yeah.. true.. I've always been against everything.. before I was against religion.. and now I'm against the people who are against religion but not necessarily with it.. I find it shitty when people look for logical explanations for religion.. but yeah.. I used to look for logical explanation of god and shit.. but that was when I was still immature.. like 1st year high school.. and yeah.. let's enumerate those who at a certain point in their lifetime stopped believing in religion..
Person A: The "I don't believe in God because there is no concrete proof about his existence" Guy
yeah.. that used to be me.. but I realized that c'mon.. why do you need a proof about his existence? I mean yeah.. sure you can live your whole life looking for his existence.. but c'mon what if you wouldn't able to prove his existence? and you've spent a great amount of time on looking for him.. wouldn't that make you a more miserable chap? you're already miserable because you're looking for his existence.. that has always been the case.. like have you seen a normal jolly person looking for the existence of god? c'mon.. those who look for the existence of god are those who have tons of questions, who are smart and who have a lot of time in their hands. I've always believed in the saying that "ignorance is bliss".. the more you don't know.. the less complex life is..
Person B: The "I don't believe in God because if God existed then why would he let us suffer?" Guy
Ignorance may be bliss but sometimes when things get overboard it tends to get ugly.. like this poor little chap here.. he's blaming god for the suffering that he's experiencing.. okay.. c'mon.. kids like these don't really read the bible much.. maybe he doesn't know the story of Noah's Ark or other bad guys suffering story in the Bible.. I'm not really a Bible buff.. I haven't even read the whole book.. but yeah.. sometimes people suffer because they've been naughty(and sometimes they get rewarded oooh).. equilibrium must be maintained.. like c'mon why expect something if you haven't put enough effort to derserve it? but yeah.. how about the kids who're doing well.. goes to church on sunday but still their mom dies because of some wacko shot your mum in a bank robbery.. cute argument but not really something that would win me over in the whole 'god doesn't exist' thing.. like c'mon.. can you please raise your hand? thanks.. and if you didn't raise your hand chances are that free will does exist.. and if you have free will.. the wacko who shot your mum most probably had free will too.. we are free to do what we want! the only limitation is ourselves.. laws don't really limit what people can do.. what laws really do is to make people put limitations on themselves.. hell.. I can kill one of my teachers if murder wasn't against the law.. but yeah.. laws usually makes sense..
Person C: The "I don't give a fuck" Guy
people who don't care.. the apathists(what a fucked up term).. but yeah.. I don't have any arguments to bombard their kind with.. I think they're not as bad as the Person A and B.. because out of the three stereotypes.. Person C is the happiest.. because Person A would be too preoccupied in looking for a logical explanation on God's existence and Person B would most proably be angry as hell.. Person C would most probably be the guy sitting infront of their PC playing World of Warcraft or something.. yeah.. people like these live like theists.. but they don't spend an hour or so of their sunday in church.. and they don't have over the top extravagant weddings because they can only do a civil wedding.. but yeah.. the only problem is.. well.. they don't care.. and when people don't care it's sorta like a waste of good human resouce.. but who knows? maybe they doing their part?
I used to be Person A and C.. so don't flame me for not including Person D or something because these are all based on personal experiences and realizations and shit.. I used to look for the existence of god.. but I gave it all up after realizing that I can't really prove it.. wise men have tried for hundreds of years but still they're unable to prove his existence.. and what difference does it make? I'm pretty sure that they're waaaaaay smarter than I am.. so why prove something that even greater men weren't able to prove? but yeah.. I don't give a fuck about religion anymore.. believe what you want to believe.. I think religion and it's communities are a great bunch.. they help people, they sorta make a mini utopia.. but I don't feel like being a part of them.. and to quote Bjork "I thrive best hermit style".. but nope.. I'm not an atheist.. you can probably put me in the agnostic spectrum.. but I'm quite convinced that there might be a greater entity than us.. maybe you can call me a religious eclecticist.. because I take different beliefs from different religions and I follow them.. like I get the essence of Buddhism's Four Noble Truths and apply it to my life in a way.. or I'll get LaVeyan Satanism's Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth.. yeah.. I believe that LaVeyan Satanism is a great bunch.. not to be confused with Theistic Satanism they[LaVeyan Satanists] do not worship Satan.. but they just use Satan as a symbol of people's inner desires..
yeah.. this is a world record breaking feat
