Now most people on here have misinterpreted my posts on soul and spirit and have falsely assumed that I am a Christian. I can see a lot of you are good at misinterpreting because you do it every day with the bible.
Now for a very long time I think I was in limbo of being a christian. I was kind of there but then I realized that things are not as simple as just following some set of moral rules that some group of guys came up with. No I am not a christian but from my posts I think you can all see that I am very spiritual and I believe everyone has a soul and I am a very big believer in karma.
Do I believe there is a King of Kings God? No. I don't think thinking of God as a King is right. We humanize God way too much and it is stupid to do that because if there really is a God we shouldn't think of him the same way we think of a celebrity.
I don't know what God is. None of us do. Is it just something in history that some guy came up with? No one really truly knows. Honestly if there is a God I'm sure he is not some humanized gaint being living in the sky as most picture God and as most christians view God. If there really is a God it is way more complicated than any of us could really comprehend. If it wasn't we would all be sure that there really was a God and the world would be united under one guiding force but it isn't like that is it?
I'll tell you how I think things are though. Nature and the beauty of this world have lead me to believe that there is more to life than just being here by accident or by chance. Why are we here? None of us really know and I don't think there is any reason that we should know. We all have at least some type of set morals that we should all follow and that most would agree with.
Reaching a spiritual level and identifying our soul is so much more than religion. It is a personal individual thing that we must all find on our own.
