    Why did a religious experience have to turn you into a christian? In order to believe in a god or a higher power, you don't have to believe in christ or any other religion.

    I think anything is possible. That's why I never understood how anyone can just accept one thing. That goes for religious people and atheists.


    One thing that's always bothered me about religion is most people adopt the religion which they were born into. There is no thinking for yourself. For example, if you are born into a christian family, odds are you will become a christian, not a hindu. People are born into and then accept it as reality.


    I think approaching everything with an open-mind is essential instead of accepting something that you will never know the answer to (in this life anyways).

    Just the circumstances surrounding it. Its a bit personal so I won't go into details, but after I accepted that God existed, I did an intense examination of self and realized alot of fucked up things I have done. I spent the rest of the trip just reading on the internet about various religious beliefs and the fact that Christ died for our sins was a truth too powerful for me to refuse.

    i think that it's most likely that nothing happens after we die.

    i'd LIKE to think that there is an afterlife of some sort. maybe reincarnation. maybe the energy that is our conscious mind is taken somewhere else. who knows?
    i wanna think that b/c i'm scared of the nothingness after death. kinda silly to be afraid of it though..you won't exist, so you won't care that you don't
