Wow. What a difficult topic. I find my believes about god ever-changing. I loosely believe the bible, that some stories are real and others are stories to express a point. I like to believe there is a god and sometimes I believe this very strongly, but other times I find myself doubting it very much.

Even thinking about our existance makes me feel sick. I can hardly begin to describe the thoughts I get when I try to figure it out. I doubt very much that the bible is true in this aspect, implying that some mystical being (God) just made things happen in 7 days. Especially since a day is the amount of time that it takes the earth to spin 360 degrees when the Earth did not even exist back then. I have no idea what this thing, life, actually is and frankly even thinking of it scares me.

Then there's the thought of what happens when it's all over, when we die. What happens then?

I believe religion is something people make themselves believe to make them feel save, to give them some idea of what will happen after death and rules by which to live their life. But of course then there's all these miracles and holy visions which tend to make me believe there is a God.

I suppose I think the human body is not supposed to be able to comprehend these extremely complex topics. I try to think about them as little as possible. Delaying the inevitable I suppose. I like to just live life as I think appropriate at the time, trying to keep things simple.

I do believe Jesus had some sort of religious significance, I'm just not sure what to think of him. I think calling him "the son of God" would be wrong because I don't have any idea what God is, and I doubt God is anything that could have children.

Oops, I didn't intend to write that much, I didn't really notice.
Well let's hear some other people's opinions shall we?
