Religion

I belive this new intro to religion class is the
one class that is really going to open me up to a new
perspective on life. We only had one class and I'm
already hooked. The professor had me asking myself so many
questions. I believe that the best person to analyze
religion is one who doesn't believe strongly in one type
or view. The I mean what is religion to one person. Is
it the ever growing parent that you can turn to when
things in life don't make sense. Is it the one thing
holding ur days together when u wake and sleep u pray. I
believe that to enhance your life and the people around
you , you have to examine other cultures and take in their
views to really experience life as a whole.
Being a western thinker born in america I am
brought up in a life of competition and the thought that I
am warrior fighting for everything. But I'de like to
experinmce the other views in life where people belive
that all things r living. Essentially because all things
are made from one single solitary neutral material the
atom. We look around and marvel at the living things
animals, humans and breahting life. But when u stop to
think about it all things r created form atoms so from
that perspective everything can be called living. The pen
your writing with, the back pack u carry the car ur
driving all things in life are living. Naturally this is
the view of the australian aboriginist.
Then we have the aithiest who belives only in
things that can be backed up or presented with strong
evidence almost like a relaist if it's there and you can
explain why then you've got them hooked. Now I don't know
where i stand in all this but there is a growing problem
in the world today and it's science.
Religion these days is very passay because science
has answered all the importnant questions like how earth
form and how man evloved , but they still can't explain
one entire subject. They dont' even knoe where to begin
with a phenominom. Thats where people have to look inside
themsleves and asked what do I think happened. There are
abunch of questions that one must answer. Some of these
are do we have a soul? Are we as people predestoned? whats
constitutes a good life? well I can't give you your answer
but by the end of the semester I hope to have mine and no
matter what cosmology you choose to belive in dont' ever
let anyone tell you your wrong because it's just not
possible to be wrong. Religion is a choice of opinion and
you can always belive in whatever makes you happy.Neways
this is on ly the first day of the diary and I can tell
you it's a begining of a ne life for me and I hope
whatever you read , you dont' take an offense to because
im not trying to answer lifes big questions for you I'm
only giving you my opinion of what I fell is going on
around me.
