Of Religion and Life

People always talk about civilisation, human nature, cultures, language, politics, economics, and of course, religions. But religion is always something different from all other things. Well, I'm always having contradicting thoughts on the question "What is God?". Actually, it's more towards 'what God is to me', rather than what is God in general, or what present religious institutions say about God. Of course, I've been listening to people talking about their loyalty to the only and ultimate God at all times, but i never heard people talking about God as if God is the creation of human and not the other way round. It's seems daunting to question even the nature of God. The question of What it is, who he/she is, where, when, how...... never questioned. Of course, there is the Atheist, but Atheist are just against such beliefs.

I'm on the other hand, still open to ...well literally everything. I'm just a soul seeking for answers in this universe. I'd like to see the term God as something created by human itself and that God is also something existing beyond human, and everything else in this universe.

Life is simple, you choose to believe in God, and you go to heaven. Otherwise, you go down. But how true is the truth that lies upon us? What's the reality and what's not. There is always a reason for everything but there lies no answers to everything. I used to have a friend who told me that he chose to believe in God because he rather not go to Hell in his after-life. He believe that if there is no God, then it's fine, he's got nothing to lose even if he believed in God. He's 'preparing' himself for the uncertainty. Deep down I thought, "right, u gotta be kidding me, seriously?" But after second thought, i think he's right in one sense. But i'm still confused. In terms of why would i want to think about all these when i have my whole life spread upon me and it's up to me to live my life. (sound Atheist? not really) At the same time, I realised that, i'm just being ignorant, about the future.

Uncertainties and questions that are not answered rules the universe. Here i am telling him that i'm looking for an answer in this world, that i shall live my life the way i like it without fear to God and just live in the present without fear of the future uncertainties. But, honestly, I'm terrified. Is it human nature? God knows.

So when talking about life, people tend to relate life to religion, in terms of the way they 'should be' living to praise God. I personally respect that a lot, because at least they have a motivation, a belief.

People always, perceive religion as if it's some 'thing'. You always get people saying, look at them Christians, ask for forgiveness but keep committing crimes, oh there goes World Trade Center, these Muslims scums. Did they ever realise that Christianity, Buddhism, Islam and other religions are RELIGIONS and not Christians, Muslims, Buddhist. Perceiving religions based on the worshippers are just wrong. Humans, i say, always act on animal instinct, and judging religions based on human natures, is just finger pointing. There's always looking out for something to be blamed for what human did.

Sigh, i wonder if you understand what i'm trying to say so far. My whole point is, the differences between civilisation, human nature, cultures, language, politics, economics, and of religions. Are they of very much different? or religion is purely, something beyond human nature?

So. what say you?

Creation of God or Creation of Human?

Think twice before you choose

Mind you, choosing the former, you are actually on the latter
Choosing the latter, you're actually on the former.
