My belief system
First of all, let me say that I respect all religions. However, I am unsure as to whether or not any of the major religions are right. I have decided that the Old Testament is just a well told mythical story, but I respect anyone who reads the Bible and has faith. It is a good thing to have faith, whatever you believe. Vinyar, I'm glad you have faith.
I am unsure if there is a god. I haven't studied religion that much, but I am beginning to study it more and more each day. I am in the process of reading the New Testament. While I can't prove anything false yet, I am waiting to read until the end to decide whether or not it is a good possibility. There are some inconsistencies in the Apostle's stories, but I know this book was rewritten so many times, and that the stories are not totally a contradiction.
I hope one day, be it to follow the New Testament, I can find a good faith system that more people can relate to. Right now, I follow my own beliefs, and I intend to follow them until the day I die, whatever I decide to have faith in. These beliefs are that there are driving forces in the universe which embody us all. The Light, Life and Love have always been my gods. I strive to drive out The Darkness, Death and Hate.
You are probably wondering how I am to drive out Death when it is an absolute necessity. It's nature is universal. It is shadow. It is wind. It is inevitable. It is inescapable and unrestrainable. In the end, nothing can halt it's cool touch. However, I believe that you must strive against it still. You must shut as many doors to it as you can. If I'm to die, I shall die fighting.
