I have to spend a lot of money tomorrow.
not looking forward.

First let me start by saying this is not an attempt to slight anyone's belief's or religious teachings, I am in no way a specialist or "know all" in this subject and my idea's and thoughts should be taken simply as my interpretation of the world and its inhabitants.

I don't believe in anything. That's not true, I believe in everything (to some degree, you'll see what I'm talking about in a second.) The expansive canvas of the universe is infinite. It is impossible for the human brain to conceptualize this idea because, unfortunately for us, our bodies decay. Our minds have boundaries in space and time. The "space" part should really be changed to influence, time can stay the same.

The limit we have with influence and time exist together. By which I mean our ever changing surroundings and the events we experience throughout the time between our birth and our death define the limits of the human brain.

I can not know for certain anything that cannot be explained by science. However, thoughts and idea's conceived by a human brain (or any mind/persona/ego with limitations on either influence or time) have some chance of existing in the infinite past, the infinite future and even the infinite present.

There are many religions around the world with many separate beliefs. Some can coexist, understanding that one person or group's beliefs do not necessarily have to mirror their own. The extremists of most of these groups cannot stand each other and they believe that only their interpretation of the universe or how they understood some holy book is the only way to look at something. These people seek to control the population and should you ever meet one I would approach with caution. These heavy handed prophets fear change and don't understand defiance.

This controlling side of religion was once very necessary for our civilization I believe. We needed to be able to build cities and live together with some sort of moral referee so that we didn't evolve into another unintelligent animal.

...None of this is a cohesive thought nor is there any structure, just thought i'd say that before I continue...

In choosing not to believe anything and to also believe everything, I have come up with a few things I like from a couple religions and my way of looking at them mixed with a few of my own ideas.

First, I like "Creation" and the whole 7 days thing. Not because it's at all accurate in the way they teach it at church but because it may be a way of finding out where "god" is in the universe. Time is relative so maybe what we're suppose to figure out is how far away would something have to be for trillions and trillions of years to go by in a matter of 7 days. The only missing data would be which way? and how fast?

I also have found myself muling over the idea of rebirth or a continuous cycle of life. When I die I turn to the soil and feed the earth and my spirit is reborn within another creature. I really live by this, you can tell when you're meeting somebody if they have a particularly old soul. I think the earth is like a big blue catchers mitt for souls zooming through the universe.

You can see new souls arriving to earth on clear nights. They come attached to little space rocks flying into our atmosphere. The stones burn up in the black sky and somewhere on the opposite side of the earth a baby pops out of a pregnant woman, or a blade of grass sprouts. (The same thing happens whenever anything dies.

Or perhaps there's some sort of waiting list to get back to earth and you have to take a ticket and sit in a waiting room.

There are too many problems in the world that can be fixed just by being caring human beings. It hasn't been proven that prayers do anything more then direct positive energy. We need to be proactive and move out of our father's basement so to speak. Our humanity has come a long way and I believe the next stage will be us realizing that earth is our home. Not only that but we also have the share it with everyone else.

I'm done writing for now. It is quite late and I am waking up fairly early.
