Religion

Today Pat asked me some questions about religion which i find pretty interesting
During our free time, he was reading his TPJC forum page. I rolled my chair beside him to take a look at the interesting topic being debated. We started talking about religion and he began to tell me about the views about religion as read on the site. Probably some of which are his views.

He asked me 2 interesting questions.

1) If God created the world's most heaviest object [that probably he can't even lift] since he is the creator of this universe, wouldn't it be a paradox if God couldn't lift it [ being omnipotent himself] ?

I just plainly tell him on the spot its senseless. He replied to believers it is senseless but to non-believers it makes big sense. Well i am pretty excited at this point even though the statement or the question sounds pretty odd.

2) God created us. Who created God ? What's before God?

This questions are pretty interesting to know ain't it. I am not sure what they are trying to prove from there because this 2 statments definitely doesn't show there isn't a God. It just shows that there are answers yet to be found. Very simply, i told him that if you know all this answers, there will not be a need for God. You can be God yourself.

Then comes the part where he saw a site on "how to create a religion in 10 easy steps." I would say the author probably state very obvious religious observations that can be easily copied and make into play. Its like making it into a darma with the religious essence or must-haves in it. There it goes ...

Everything is interesting to a point but ..... misleading to many points. Very sadly when one door opens for one's mind, all other doors in our mind will just remain tight shut. It happens to almost all of us. When we so believe that something is true, other beliefs will simply be dismiss as fabrications and mumbo-jumbos. Just as Pat put it, perception of religion views are controversial. But how does that make it invalid?

Controversy might mean to many that things are not confirm. Some can view religion as crap and go "stop whinning" to believers around them. Some can view it as a good fun topic to bust their time and debate with their friends about. Some can just simply ignore and wash their hands clean off it. But i must say that controversial topics does not mean that the the whole topic should be disregarded and sentenced - invalid.

Should that be the case , there will be no need to bother to think about religion at all. Because plainless battle between scholars, scientist and theologists brings out nothing. When we embrace an idea, always give full thoughts to it.

If a religion as simply put by the site above - as a theory, it would plainly be nothing more than a practise and a common belief. The amazing thing that the world has not see is not the religion practise or teachings itself. Its the experience of His presence. That's what that i feel will mightily shape the world.


Wonder what i've been talking about ?
Its just a thought. Wonderful thought. I love to hear more about what the world thinks. And even more from God.
