Hey guys, this is my first post here and well, I think talking to people is a better source than any other media. So, here I am, I am really having trouble seeing what religion is all about. I've been watching many videos on Religion, and Atheism. I've just wanted to see both sides, during my life I've realized that mostly every argument I've been apart of I've been on the losing side, usually because I don't know what the other side is about. So, I've taken it upon myself to learn thoroughly about many types of Religion.
Even in my short life I've experienced many things, sad, and happy. I'm just ready to take that next step to researching and educating myself on the foundations of life, the spiritual, political, social, and just happiness. I've been asking myself what makes me happy, and well I've hit a wall, I don't know, I haven't really gone to church and well I guess I need to be convinced that religion is the way because honestly, if I went to church I wouldn't be feeling the way I feel right now I think I'm okay? But, it's just the fear of hell I guess, I mean if I live my life good will god see it as me being a good person? or is he going to punish me because I didn't ask for forgiveness?
I'm sorry if this offends any of you, that's the last thing I want. I just want to hear it from you guys, I really don't have anywhere else to talk about this. To me I really feel comfortable talking to people online, outside people are great, but the real me can just flourish, no social boundaries. It just doesn't feel that threatening that real life does.
I've reached that point of my life and I just need some guidance or something from you guys. Some tips?
Like I just want to know what keeps you guys going?
What gives you that comfort in Religion?
Does Religion or something else get you out of bed in the morning?
I just want to see your view on like life? Do I need Religion in my life? Will it make me a better person? or can I conduct myself respectfully down here without the consequences?
I am just in the middle right now, in the middle of religion, in the middle of atheism, I honestly think being in the middle is the best place, it's a sense of balance. Either way, I just want to hear what you guys are thinking about life and all of it.
