This is my view on god and religion…please keep in mind that I mean no offence to any of you on the basis of religion..these are just my views and they are to be ignored if they cause any offence.

Religion…….it has been existent since the first records of  our great race…… it is one of the things that makes us who we are…… and sometimes………its is one of the things that leads us to our doom….but I ask you….. Why did religion really come up?? On what basis was it?? Science or fiction?? And the greatest question of all…….. Does god exist??? I am not afraid to question what our ancestors have put down…so if you …like me…want some real answers…please read on….

Every living thing on this planet…..has faith….in something or the other. It does not have to be faith directed at a specific being…but just faith by itself. You can call it hope …you can call It luck..But in any case….faith resides in all beings…

For example…a tiny plant…when it starts out as a sapling…so delicate and frail…..tries to grow and prosper wherever it resides …be it a grassland or a urban jungle…. Even if its odds of survival are non existent…..it still tries to propagate……why??

Why doesn’t it just die?? What keeps it from just giving up?? The answer…is faith. Blind faith….but faith nonetheless. Even a tiny deer…will try and give its all to survive…..so even it has faith…but what about us??

Ah…this is where it gets interesting……one cannot meddle with faith and sentience ….as the result is quite unpredictable…..as a result…we have blind followers …preachers….or just silent believers….and off course non believers…but I ask you this…even if you do not think god exists…..do you not have faith? Or hope??

Do you know what god is? Do you really know?? God is a faith personified. He is the embodiment of our earthly wants and wishes….given form by our vivid imagination…and over the years…his appearance…powers ….and very nature have changed due to this ..But all the same….. he is faith personified….given a near human form by our forefathers….

 

So he does exist….but not in the way you would think…….so in a certain point of you…there is no such thing as a non believer….

People do radical things in the name of god…but these are just passed down acts…..sins committed by our forefathers….in god name…faith was used as an excuse…and the effect was passed down through so many generations….

So many people die in the name of religion and god…if these fanatics knew the consequences of their actions…they would never do anything…but this is beside the point.

We live in a world where we are responsible for our own actions….everything we do has a impact on our surroundings….always remember that  …no matter what you do or where you go….always keep that in mind.

    AgentX—good to see you back. Jeeze! You never do light-weight subject matter, do you?
    An interseting piece, tho I think you have faith and faith in god, a little blurred here.
    My one niggle with it is that you start with an apology, about offending. That, somewhat offsets conviction in your piece. Offend and be damned—be controversial and let the offended voice their point back at you.
    I mean when was the last time you read a poem about god and the rightious and the author apologizes for the fact they might offend an atheist?
    Still, like I said—glad you\’re back. Enjoy reading your stuff.
