(sorry for the double post)
This is part of a prologue to a book I'm writing.
It’s unfortunate that Religion is so common in everyday lifestyle. The argument as to why we should believe in one religion is strong and thoroughly considered, yet the argument against Religion is often downsized and criticised. Why is this? Why is it so hard to associate life without religion? Is it so hard to have faith in yourself, family and friends, rather than a supernatural being who, by all intent and purposes, has no influence on our lives (if they do in-fact exist)? Granted, not everyone has family and friends and the mental strength to have faith in themselves, but our life is built around a particular book of scribing's that are not proven, are denounced by science and are often contradicted by the actions that take place in society today.
But that’s religion. It would be hard even for a scientific person, not to believe in a higher being, a being that created the Earth, the universe and us. It would be sad to think that after death there is nothing and our lives are unimportant and less meaningful then we make them out to be.
Our lives are meaningful, yet that meaning cannot be distinguished and defined because to do so would be to force insanity onto one self. Life is complexity at its finest with a few extra spices thrown in for some zing and surprise. We shouldn’t need to define the meaning of life, but rather interpret it.
