Religion is usually a topic I try to avoid, because lets face it, it can turn nasty pretty fast. The other day I saw a show on TV about God, made by Mr Jonas Gardell. It was quite interesting, the way he talked about God/gods and how the God of christianity has evolved over thousands of years. And of course it made me start to think (always a scary thing, I know) and once again I found myself thinking about my own relationship to gods and religions.
I am not a believer. On the other hand, I am not a non-believer either. I got a lot of respect for religion, or rather, for faith. I can really envy people that do believe, it must be nice to always have somewhere to turn, to be so sure in something. I can't really believe however, and I have tried! It's just not me. I don't go with the "You can't prove there is a God" crap, if you knew it wouldn't be faith now would it? But you can't prove there isn't a god of some kind either. Maybe there is, I just got a hard time seeing it. At least the modern version God, all knowing and kind and so on and so forth. I guess I can believe in something, but I wouldn't want to call it God, or any kind of god. Maybe there is something out there, something that makes things happen, something that made the big bang go bang. But I can't get with the idea of a personal force, a she or he that cares about puppies and stuff. Not something you can pray to, no angels (and now those I wish I could believe in... wings... *drool*) to watch over us. I guess I am more of a Gaia person than a God person.
Does this make any sense to anyone? Because it doesn't even make much sense to me.
Over and out
