This has got me wondering........why......has all of America accepted and is following a faith, spiritual belief system that NEVER originated here in the USA?
Christianity came to Rome by the way of the Old World or ARABIC faiths.......now the last I knew I wasn't Roman nor am I of the Arabic world, so why follow a belief system that is NOT based here?
It's like you're parent asking you would you jump off a cliff because everyone else was doing it? Or would you have the sense enough to say hey wait a minute.
People came here from England and all over to escape religious persecution and to separate religion from state matters. So once again they bought belief systems here not one that was already here of it's own origin.
There is even a lot of Native Americans who believe we come from Aliens. Now I don't believe we come from Aliens. Do I believe that Aliens exist? I don't know but how can I claim I don't when I was taught to believe in God, Angels, Demons and Satan himself ??????? What makes one more valid then the other?
So, why follow blindly of another faith? When I started the deconstruction of belief systems I realized that I pushed away uncomfortable thoughts of a deities actions because it was so widely accepted and NOT questioned....when I did start questioning the actions and contradictions within these belief systems and systems that were just put together nilly willy it made me start really thinking.
Yes, even as far as I know since I'm leaning towards my Native American roots that originated here in the US it is still a system of belief made up by man. It has no written record even though the bible has a written record it was still produced millions of times over and has so many different denominations or sects that no one knows how ORIGINAL it is or even truthful.
And it has got me thinking would I really be better off going along these lines? Truthfully, at this point I would consider myself an Atheist but I don't qualify because I belief in a Spirit, a Source, A Higher power of SOME kind. But truthfully right now it kind of turns my stomach thinking how gullible we all are to a certain point because we want to believe in something better, that we weren't just an accident of the universe and that some higher power is looking out for the good of humanity but I have to cry foul on that end to.
NO God, Deity, Spirit has come to earth to turn humans around.....there have been lots of prophets who tried and look at where that got them, crucified, burned at the stake, killed in some shape or fashion. How many times has it been said, preached, told that the end of times were here, that the world was ending on such and such date and guess what, it all never happened. WHY??????? If all of that was divine revelation, why hasn't it happened? But I will tell you what it has done. It has caused people major anxiety, hysteria, down right panic for their well being.
Something I have never understood about the organized religions, why is everyone so willing and hyped to die? Cause that is what is going to happen when the world ends. You are willing to sacrifice yourself and all those that you love for a so called promise of becoming immortal in spirit??????????
Call me cynical but I'm not so willing to put my faith in a god who is nothing but a contradiction unto itself. The new testament claims that he is a loving and forgiving god but yet in the new testament it says if you dont believe and worship him or aren't baptized HE will send you to Hell. How is that a loving and forgiving god? How is 1 religion the ONLY religion and everyone else who believes differently is going to hell for it? Where is the understanding, forgiveness of that? How is it loving and forgiving God who out right HATES bisexual and gay people ??????????? Why do they deserve to go to Hell just because they are DIFFERENT? Where is the FORGIVENESS, the LOVE ? It's not. Don't we already have enough hate in this world? Why would you follow something that declares this as a written law ?
Yeah the more I think about all of these different man made belief systems the more I want to say to hell with all of them.
