Religion is a creation of man. End of story. No I'm not atheist. Yes, I believe in god and the power of prayer. I believe 'church' doesn't have to be in a sacred temple, and no, you don't have to 'worship' anything or follow any goofy rituals, and if I recall correctly, Jesus asked his followers NOT to worship him, but to worship god instead; Jesus was just the messenger and would be considered a modern day hippy.
You got it. Real talk: Organized religion is arrogance. I truly believe in the higher power, but I’m also fully aware of my human limitations. With a God as omnipotent as he is, pretending to understand him is literally on par with expecting an ant colony to understand how to google something on an IPad....even if you demonstrate it many times.
In short: I’m not arrogant enough to think man can speak for God. I prefer just to listen to him.
I've heard about the Gospel of Thomas - which from how I interpret it, it's basically Jesus saying we create our own heaven here on Earth through our own perception of reality. Hence why I say, today, he would have been considered a modern day hippy, the spiritual type that sit on the beach and mediates and shit. But I'll admit that I never put eyes to it personally, just watched videos of people supposedly reading from it.
I'm not aware of Jesus killing people, would you be so kind to point me into the direction where I can find some information on that?. The Nicene Creed, however, is something that turns me off from church worship all together because I legit feel like hearing it being recited is a bit cult-ish.
However, I don't shit on anyone if they want to go because I recognize that it does good for some people.
All in all, life is an experience, hell only exists in the mind from constantly judging ourselves, we all go back to god when life is over, but I'm not a theology expert, I just follow my own intuition and try to live my life with more peeks and less valleys.
