Before reading this, please note that i do not have all the answers, I simply seek to understand life and all of its intricacies to the best of my ability. This post may seem to challenge your position, and i hope it does, not because i wish to challenge doctrine, nor to prove a point. I merely ask this question as a form of debate. I ask this because like you, and every being on Earth, I wish to understand my place in life and the relevance of certain doctrines that have been placed upon our society. With that being said, I must ask, why did you choose to follow the path of christianity? In fact, on a larger scale, why is it that the western world in general chooses christianity? The middle east, islam? And the eastern world Hinduism or budism? It seems as though the spread of religion stems not from belief, but from tradition. Why is the world of religion is less diverse and more segregated than other aspects of humanity? Ask yourself this, did you choose your religion because it is something you are familiar with? Or do you TRULLY believe in that which you preach? Or did you simply experience something in your life which could not possibly be explained by traditional views? Did something happen Im your life that defied all logical explanation and in seeking the answers to your qualms, you fell upon what was "natural" or "comfortable". I ask because I too have experienced such indescribable phenomena. Events and conclusions that seemed to have defied all that was "logical". Most people in such circumstances would seem to turn to religion as the answer, simply because there was no other alternative that seemed to fit. Or maybe life was just lacking in purpose or "wonder" and religion seemed to be the "perfect fit". Whatever your reasons may be, all I ask is that you dig deep within yourself and ask if you follow religion because you wholeheartedly believe in its substance and relevance, or is it simply because you have nowhere else to go? If your answer is the latter then I implore you to delve further into you research. Look into other aspects of science and spirituality before devoting yourself to an idea. Find what RESONATES WITH YOU. If you're unsure as to where to start I would certainly recommend Jason Silva's videos on youtube. They are short, sweet, and to the point and certainly an excellent catalyst to finding the answers that best suits your life experience. Please understand that I am not here to defy religion, but to expand human growth. If you have questions feel free to message me. I AM ALWAYS OPEN TO NEW IDEAS!!!
