My belief isn't for sale...It's free. Jesus purchased it for us when He went the way of the cross. It's by grace through faith that we are saved (Ephesians 2: 4-10) You might also want to read and ponder the well known John 3:16 and the 23rd. Psalm.

I can't sell you a belief. You have to come to awareness of your own. There isn't a way to explain it to you. When you know you have the right beliefs than you feel comfortable in following the ways in which your beliefs may lead you. Good Luck and God Bless!!!!!!

I believe that "God" is not something to "believe in." It is just the name that we humans give the things that we can't understand and make up stories about.

I also believe that while there is a strong spiritual and non-material supernatural energy all around us, there are no pearly gates in Heaven waiting to open for us. Therefore, the whole idea of a "Kingdom" is ludicrous to me.

I think it's wasteful to declare that you know what will happen after we die because you don't know and the ones who do...well are sworn to secrecy because they're..dead.

I do believe in astrology and numerology because like I said I don't think that we're not connected to the whole world around us. Even if there was just a "Big Bang" there was energy that gave us life and it is a good thing to remain connected to it.

And I do believe in ghosts because I and people I care about have had experiences with them and other energies that the deceased give off. I don't know why they're still around, but I think it has something to do with their energy not being released from this earth.

What happens to the energies of the dead once they are released from our world? Maybe they get reborn? I do wonder sometimes if after I die, who will see things from "my eyes," and who did before I was born?

Energy can't be made or destroyed so it's not like "nothing" happens.

I don't know. Does it matter? But it's most likely not a waiting room or prison where we'll all be reunited and have parties or lament our pasts.

Oh well...I tried. I think I'm right, so that's all that matters to me.

"35 Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The similitude of His light is as a niche wherein is a lamp. The lamp is in a glass. The glass is as a shining star. Kindled from a blessed tree, an olive neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow forth though no fire touched it. Light upon light, Allah guides to His light whom He will. And Allah speaks to mankind in allegories, for Allah is knower of all things.


[Quran: An Noor, Chapter 24]

Light is not light without the darkness. The visible is not visible without the invisible. Manifest is not manifest without the hidden. Good is not good without the evil. Heaven is not heaven without the earth. East is not east without the west.
The point we are making here is that everything has an opposite. If there were no opposites, there would be nothing but Allah. Neither you nor I would be here! Allah has created everything in pairs."

To me, religion is a tool - designed to help us get through life with minimal difficulty, tools or techniques for hard times and peace about what happens when we die. To that end I have lovingly hand crafted a religion of my own design based on a variety of sources.

I believe in God, in so far as I believe that there is a creative energy that powers this existence. I think of it as energy and I believe I am a part of that energy. If god is an ocean, then we are individual glasses of God. I think we come here with a plan for education - we are here learning about relationships and how circumstances affect them. We choose what we will look like, when we come and our path to learn specific things. We often come with our friends - taking turns being parents and children, lovers and rivals - and we come again and again.

I believe we have the power to steer our existence and to get help from the Universe while we are here on earth. Whatever we dwell upon in our hearts and in our minds is what we get in our lives. If we dwell upon lack, the Universe thinks the course must be too easy and they send more lack. If we dwell upon what we want and what is good in our lives, that is what we get. It is not enough to just think it often times - it usually goes along with how we feel, which is why joy and gratitude are so important. Those feelings shine so strongly that the message is sent loud and clear.

I believe that we return home at the end of our incarnation - to rest and watch the rest of our friends complete their journey (even help them at times) and then we make a new plan for the next trip. I think we revert to an energy existence - one in which we are much more closely connected to others, intuitively. I think that is why it sometimes seems so lonely being human.

I think that having a light heart during and at the end of our lives is essential for finding our way home. I think that those of us who are burdened with doubt, fear, anger or regret become so mired in their own private hell that they fail to see the way home and they can remain here in an energy existence in the physical plane wasting time and languishing. They have only to look up or ask for help to find the way - and when they are ready, they do.

Peace!

Mine is not for sale.

I advocate for everyone to form their own questions, seek their own answers, and to always re-examine them.

Atheism. No evidence for God. No need for religion.

Oh wait, until that guy dies and winds up in front of God and says what ... uuhhhh uuhhhh you dont exist. Yeah that will go real well.

Dont settle for easy answers, find out for yourself with fear and trembling.
