[QUOTE="Ralan, post: 5654, member: 35"] [b]Religion[/b] Grayson, you have some great ideas. I share a lot of your opinions on religion, especially those about its origins. StarLord, when reading this thread I was never sure if the things you say are fictional, or if you believe them to be true, and if you can prove them to be so. Here is my personal take on finding your beliefs, and my own philosophy. What other people can tell me, what they believe, what books and accounts and history can tell me; I was affected by and considered all of these things when looking for my beliefs. But the most important thing, however old a book is, and however powerful a preacher is, was that I detatched myself from these things, and looked at the universe around me, observed life independantly, and greatly based my beliefs on the truth based on what I could see without anything interfering with it. I saw that most beautiful things, which I had taken for granted, and the most terrible things, which had been hidden from me. This method of looking at what I saw to be the truth rather than what I was told was the truth lead me to the philosophy of modern humanism. I see no evidence for a god, God, life after death, heaven, hell, or reincarnation. I see that there are things we cannot explain, but also that there are things which we now understand, through science, the great gift of sentient life, which we did not understand in the past and simlarly used as evidence for a greater being. I honestly and earnestly yearn for every human to be happy and for the world to be completely at peace, and for every human to treat all other life well. [/QUOTE]
