Please, what do you think I am?

[theuniversallife]

I revised it after some thinking a meditating.

I believe that all people are born good, as they have not committed any wrongs, and are born with a clean slate. I believe that all the inhabitants of Earth share a common bond, the atom, and should always live hand in hand with each other, with man never damaging nature, or any life. I believe that God is not someONE, but a term related to something we can all be, an all loving, kind, wise person whose only purpose is to help others. Sex is something to be enjoyed, but in moderation, as everything in large quantities is harmful to you. I believe that your soul is what makes you, you. Your essence if you may. All humans are brothers and sisters (not in the genetic type) in the sense that we are all one. We can change the world for better, or worse. We should never fight, but only love and help one another. The afterlife, to me, is more a prequel to your living life. It is when your actions, memories, and thoughts carry on and affect others. Whether its heaven or hell depends on the kind of thoughts that you spread. That, to me, is an after life. Now when it comes to our creation, I believe that the main driving force to our presence was nature itself, and that it could be considered a God. Look at nature, it is all one with each other, basically forming a single organism, which would be the "God" that drives life. When I look out the window, I wish that humanity were brought back into that cycle. I believe to never throw the first punch, until it is necessary to prevent serious damage to you, or others. I believe that humans could be called ''lost sheep'', waiting for a leader to bring them back to be one with the world around them.

Hey Universallife,

I'm pleased to see that you've given this some thought. Your post seems to indicate that your "religious" or "spiritual" beliefs can be described as being what can be called "pandeistic" or "panendeistic" (Larry Copling invented these words as far as I know but I'm trying to help get them into circulation so words like "pantheism" and "panentheism" can phase out). I invite you to look at this website here on "panendeism" Panendeism Home. You might like what you read here. As for not throwing the first punch, it sounds like the "libertarian" axiom against the unlawful initiation of force although your previous post had a strong emphasis on social justice. I don't have any comment about the "lost sheep" part of your post; it's possible but I don't have an opinion about it. If you have a strong love of social justice, you might still consider visiting a local Unitarian Universalist church and seeing if this is right for you.

Anyhow, keep exploring and I encourage you to keep asking questions. In fact, keep asking questions and seeking answers for the rest of your life!
