whatever exists or does not exist, will not be convinced to do otherwise, by whatever people are able to convince each other of. either way, certain things, things that really count, are up to us. not whether what exists or doesn't, but how we treat each other, and the kind of world we create by doing so.
I stopped believing in God when I was five years old. Nothing bad happened. I was just a skeptical child.
i believe nothing has to be known, or even imagined, in order to exist. so in a way i believe in something some might call a god and some might not. whatever anyone wants to call it, i wish it the exact same love and happiness i would anyone else.
i believe in that nothing has to be known or even imagined in order to exist. that is the kind of god i believe in. it is not dependent on, or even strongly related to any one or several beliefs. god isn't something i claim to know. it is more of a generic term for something big, friendly and invisible, that i have from time to time felt the enjoyable company of.
