About this Profile
Hello, and welcome you to my profile on VR. I made this part just to warn you that my profile isn't like the typical profile...It doesn't have gliterry pictures, I doesn't have a background that annoys your eyes. NO. Instead, this profile has text, meaningful words...so if you remain here, prepare to read. It may offend some, i know, but hey this is a free world and if you think that you may be offended by my profile, please leave now. And finally, I would really appreciate those people who take some of their time to read my thoughts about my religious beliefs, because that is how I believe that I will get an honest rating. Thank you.

Beliefs
Atheism
Religion has always been something that mystified me. For me, religion is just a concept to keep people in line, to keep the poor from murdering the rich. It has always been that way, and will always be. I mean, there is nothing concrete that proves that there really is this form of Deity that roams this place, or maybe some other form of existence. And so the believers will then tell me, "But that is why we have faith in our God". Faith. But what is faith really? I mean, how can you believe in something that you do not know is there? What is this, some kind of guesswork? Faith is just believing in something that you HOPE is there, nothing more. Benjamin Franklin once stated:

"The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason" |
And I strongly agree with him, because no one can reason with fate, no evidence, no solid proof, and religion is purely built on fate, nothing more. On the other hand, atheism is built on practical reasoning. And if there really was a God, one has to agree that "he" is long gone or just doesn't give a shit about us...War, Disease, Death, Destruction, Hunger, Filth, Poverty, Torture, Crime, Corruption...i mean, if this is the best God can do, I am really not impressed! Doesn't the bible clearly state that God loves us and loves the world, so why all of this?
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
And even about this praying thing, many believe that by praying to their god they have a chance that their wish will be granted. And so I tell you, why is the chance of praying to your god granting your wish increased, than that of praying, to for example, a tree or something else? Isn't it just a 50-50 chance? No one can prove that praying to a god is more succesful than praying to anything else, or to not praying at all! And hey, technically speaking, if I really pray to a tree, the least I can say that I'm sure that it's really there and that I am praying to something that actually exists, something tangible, something real...but hey, i cannot say the same for this invisible man living in the sky, now can I? And off-the-record, here's an interesting thought...most of this praying takes place on Sunday... His day off! :o
Atleast by being an atheist, I am not killing, torturing or putting people on fire just because they do not believe like I do, unlike the christians...Because I really believe that if there was to be an extra Commandment, it has to be: "Thou shalt keep thy religion to thyself." No need to boast because you believe that your God has a bigger dick than that other guys' god. Cause that's the problem with religions all around the world...just because someone thinks that his God is better than the rest, this someone has to obliterate the rest, and on the contrary to what the 6th commandment says "Thou shalt not murder", history clearly shows us that more people have been killed in the name of God than for any other reason.
And then there is the bible, the so called sacred christian texts and books. You wanna see the bible's integrity and consistency? Then check out this site and start evaluating all of the inconsistencies and contradictions that your bible holds for all humanity...If the bible is mistaken about evolution and how we started, how can we trust it in showing us where we are going...? Then there is the talk about Evolution and Creationism...and the talk between religious people and scientists is this:
Scientific (evolution):
Q: How did life become what it is today?
A: Gosh, I don't know. Let's spend the rest of our careers working our asses off and collaborating with other, similarly devoted, scientists and see if we can figure it out.
Religious (creationism):
Q: How did life become what it is today?
A: Gosh, I don't know. I guess god must have done it. Let's watch the 700 Club. |
But now I'll stop my talk here about my beliefs cause I think I've said enough, altough there is loads, loads more to say, and I really have to thank all those who read and understood my points written down in the profile...I really appreciate it guys.
My point in all of this is that most of us were born with brains, so please do me a favour and use them...think! Don't be a mindless brainwashed robot and believe everything that you were told in the past...Forget the past, we are living in the present now. Stop worrying if your God loves you or not, stop praying for something to happen, stop wondering in superstitions, and finally, start living your life and believe only in YOURSELF.
