Thats nice. The start to what though? The start to just accepting that everything is infinity, except god?
except? God IS infinity. And we are part of that infinite possibilities. That everything that is everything was created, except god?
I guess i just have a difficult time grasping the concept of faith, because that seems to be the only way for anybody to be able to rationalize the idea of god.
This is a misnomer, imho. What it does take is a paradigm shift with how you relate to the world. Everything in this universe exists. How absolutely weird and amazing and beautiful is that concept? To me, it takes more faith to ignore the fact of God than it does to recognize it. By saying its right. All you have to do is just think so for it to be so? Does this mean that the true meaning of life is Faith?
I wouldn't be bold enough to tell you the meaning of life because I'd be kidding myself if I truly knew. But what I can say is that the little voice in your head? You know the one that goes "don't do that" and "do that"? Seems to me it knows a lot more than "I" do sometimes...
To me i don't see a difference in believing god, and not believing in god. Either way your decision is based only on what you choose to believe, or have been told to believe.
Although you're right in a WAY, living a life with a relationship with a concept of God (for me its infinity and possibilities for creation) is VERY different than one without ever conceptualizing that. In the end all you really can do is wait for your final moment to see who was right .... if even anybody is.
That's not true at all!!!! You'll never know the answer but that doesn't mean you shouldn't/can't live a life that you think is condusive to God.
I guess it comes down to what you think happens to you after you die.
1. Accept the possibility that out of all of our lifes great accomplishments we become nothing more that worm food.
Nothing in the material universe (that we are part of) can ever be destroyed or created, merely changed. Energy, matter, it all works the same. Think INFINITY now okay? never ending possibilities...by DEFINITION, what you consider "you" will be back. Otherwise it's not infinity, it's limited. Of course, it might be in 3 quadrizillion years, but still...remember, time is a construct of humanity. At least what we consider "long" and "short" 2. End up in heaven, and play mario kart with god for eternity while jesus brings an unlimited supply of rice crispy treats and tang,
Biggest misconception ever, imho. CAN YOU IMAGINE eternity in the same place? That's HELL. Heaven, it would seem, would be to live life again and again in endless variations. or 3.(insert other beliefs here, because it really doesn't matter as long as you believe in it.) :
