God. I believe, unbeliever

Why write about what has been written about many times? For me it is an attempt to preserve and systematize my thoughts. The moment of time is important. It's like a photo that should capture me, only not externally, but from the inside. Perhaps, in this way, I will be able to find like-minded people and will be willing to participate in the discussion of the topics discussed. In any case, it seems to me interesting.

First, I want to raise the topic of faith and religion. Again, I will cover my personal point of view on this question, so if someone reads my writings, I ask you to take it that way.

So, what do I know today.

There are many different religions and sects, each of which persuades followers of the truth of their origin. In the overwhelming majority of cases, the basis of religion is the evidence of some eyewitnesses about the highest manifestation of the divine forces. Considering this, to search for a rational evidence base is knowingly meaningless, which makes me doubt.

Like most of us, I was told about religion as a child. It was Evdokia Ivanovna - my grandmother. She created the impression of a believing woman. I often prayed. Now remembering her, I understand that prayers were more a habit for her, because She pronounced them hurriedly with a quick tongue, as they say "without investing the soul." From her, I learned that God is a kind and omnipresent ancient spirit who once created everything in the universe, inhabited the earth with animals and like-minded people. After that, he also defined the rules for the existence of people in his world, leaving the right to himself, to observe without limit everything that is happening, to encourage and punish violations of the rules of conduct. This is in brief.

During the existence of major religions, much has happened. People could find a scientific explanation of the origin of life and ascertain the nature of many amazing phenomena. There were also significant differences in the theories of science and religion. The further we go, the more trumps the scientific approach gets. We are curious in search of new opportunities, and it's good that among us there are people making new discoveries. Relaxes believers and discord in the ranks, tk. Every religion has its own understanding of the universe.

I advocate extreme points of view when considering situations.

I will give an example. Imagine, the possibility of dividing society on the basis of adherence to atheism or religion. We will spread these people to different continents, and conditionally deprive them of the possibility of communication with each other.

A whole continent is formed without propaganda of religion, whatever, including belief in ghosts and the like. We set 100% of the educational level of the population as the goal. Children who have appeared here will not receive any other explanation of life, except, established during the time of rational study. Including them will explain the existence of a society that does not share the views of atheism.

Do you see the flawedness of this society? Morality and philanthropy are not of a religious nature. To explain to the child the principles of social interaction is now possible without religion. Using modern levers to manage society, raise children, etc. We will have a prosperous society. Culture and all its components, such as music, painting, etc. will give an opportunity for natural expression to people of art, and an emotional channel for other people.

Will there be another mission in this world? Will anyone here dare to assert that he has seen the revelation of the Lord and knows that an apocalypse is coming. To avoid imminent death simply believe in it, observe the rituals sent and visit a certain building where such initiates gather in the highest truth. The main thing is sometimes sacrifice from the bottom of your heart a little local volition for the development of this institution, in order to give the opportunity to convey the truth to people and save a few more sinful souls.

How do you like this example? Society on another continent does not require my description, we have already passed it.

Today I, born in a family of Christians, in an unconscious age I get a cross on the belly, and an angel by the shoulders. Where is the choice? What choice, son? It is truth! Just accept it and believe it. Only do not you dare doubt it, somehow God will punish you and us, and heaven does not shine to you either.

After all, people always believed, and they believed strongly. Everyone was ready to kill for the faith, and even now there are such individuals. Vikings for valhalla, Slavs for Perun, Greeks for Zeus, Muslims for Allah, etc. And everyone is sure of their rightness.

The gods have their own rating, like on TV. Forgot you, then everything, get out, give way to the young. And those who remain, divide the population of the planet among themselves. Everyone has his own charter, Paradise and Hell, and his apocalypse is prepared. And if I was born a Christian, and suddenly decided to change my religion? Me where? In a Christian hell or a Muslim paradise. Full of delirium.

I want to believe that death is not the end of the path of consciousness, and eternity awaits us all. But for me the explanation of the preservation of the soul is rather closer to the law of conservation of energy. After all, here we have no choice, but we hope for hope. If I leave, leaving a vacuum, I can not regret it, decide something and choose, I'll just stop being. And if not, and I, changing form, realize myself and continue the way? I think it's more interesting. However, my belief in God is unlikely to allow me to avoid the first option.

So I live, I do not digest the church at all, I do not understand the religious impulses of Muslims, I am surprised at the new laws "about religious feelings" adopted in Russia.

The church is an ancient institution. Preaches good, comes to us earlier than even the school, teaches us to forgive and create. However, her body now has more parasites than ever. This is an ancient institution of morality, based on an unreasonable one. Now is the time of rationality. Educate your child in love, give the child an education and the right to grow up without religion. Having matured, let him choose his own god, from the existing ones. If you choose ...
