[QUOTE="Kaleion, post: 4121, member: 13"] No religious beliefs here at all, in fact, I pretty much explicitly hate religion. I mean not only do I hate the bigots I was exposed to growing up around Christians and Catholics and think the idea of believing in magic to be downright silly, but I also find the idea of omniscient omnipotent being that has the capacity to help people but actively chooses not to because of whatever dubass retarded explanation any religious individual wants to use at any given time to be downright disgusting, to me personally it's more comfortable to know that there is no control, plan or destiny, that all is chaos and there's no reason for anything than it is to believe that all the awful things I've seen and the ones that I've only heard about have a reason for being. Seriously though, it's like that time a friend explained to me that she knew God was real because her mother had cancer and just mysteriously healed after praying a lot, I just answered an 8 year old cousin of mine had Cancer and as he slowly deteriorated and not only him but his parents, his brother, his sisters, his grandparents and all of my fucking family prayed for him to and then one day we get the news, as his older brother was on his way back home from spending a weekend with friends at the beach they stopped to help some guy whose car was failing and as he was getting out of the car some drunk guy just ran him over, he died instantly, then just 2 days after his grandfather died of a heart-attack and 3 days after he finally died, her mother was so distraught by all of this happening at one that she tried to kill herself, she failed but was internilezed in the hospital leaving the father to somehow have to deal with this and raise his only remaining 2 daughters by himself, I tried to help but I didn't leave in the same city and there ain't much I could do, and I asked my friend, why do you deserve a miracle and they don't? She couldn't really answer me, and that's the thing, it's fairer to think it's all random that it is to think that there's something out there actively making the choices, and it's not like this is the worst sob story, I once had to be stopped from walking into a bar with a pipe because I wanted to kill someone, you see back where I lived Human Trafficking is big business and I happened to find out where you could get a few women for a fair prize and after asking around I found out it was common knowledge, I was so frustrated and angry and desperate that I just wanted to do something, anything and my friends stopped me, it had nothing to do with me or anyone I cared about but you know, I couldn't stop crying about that for weeks, I mean I can't even begin to imagine what those people are going through, and you know in truth, most of them are going to die without ever being saved and they did nothing to deserve that. I don't know, I'm just rambling here, but yeah I refuse to accept the existence of a God not because of science, although there's some of that too but because I wouldn't be able to live with myself if a God existed, because if it does it is most definitely the single most horrible and disgusting creature that has ever existed and it can go fuck itself, and just an extra if you need a God and faith to make the right choice that just means that you are a shitty person. Though I don't believe in God, this Leonard Cohen song reflects on the insecurities I have regarding the concept of a God quite well.
