I have read the great works of many atheist that have enlightened me about the fallacies of religion. My mind was opened about my blindness in following a system which has corrupted my true being. Since then I believe in no religion, I don't believe in heaven or hell, nor god or bad. We are not meant to live our lives out of such nonsense restrictions. But then I cannot let go of the existence of God. Although science made it plausible the impossibility of the existence of God I cannot accept it wholly. I find a hole in it. Science can only tackle what can be measured but it cannot hold anything that is subjective. Love for example is subjective, science cannot decipher it because it has no way of measuring it. The same principle goes with God. My perception of God is not what religion has defined it. For me God is not judgmental, He is within us and us within Him. There are more to us than our physical form. And I believe that when we die we will go back to our source, which is God. :-) I used to wobble about the existence of God.

One aspect of death that used to bother me was the nature of the "test" that surrounded it. This was a symptom of being very spiritual/religious. I was afraid that I might die and then not pass whatever test lay for my soul on the other side. Death was about measuring up. It did not encourage enjoyment and peace in this life. Now that I've realized that there is no god and no spiritual realm, my mind is much more at peace. Death is natural, biological, and inevitable. It's not to be feared, because we will know no fear--nothing at all--when we have stopped living. .-= Godless Girl´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/godlessgirl/~3/ZRo3RE3SaP0/">Facebook Fails</a> =-.

I wondered what's the point if you're going to die anyways and how do you find happiness knowing it's all for naught in the end. Then I slowly started to realize that all I have is today and I should enjoy it for it's true worth. Having come to that conclusion I've been able to overcome a lot of my fears by reminding myself of mortality and what I would regret not doing looking back upon my life. Thank you for verbalizing your thoughts on the subject and for the wealth of links. Also, thank you for taking the time to comment on my blog earlier as well. Have a happy new year, Ryan .-= Ryan @ Planting Dollars´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.plantingdollars.com/uncategorized/thank-you-samurai-and-cash-money-life/">Thank You Samurai and Cash Money Life</a> =-.
