I forgot that I had this blog. It's been quite a while since I have used it. I only have one follower. But sometimes it's just nice to be able to put my thoughts out there are get them out of my head.
Lately I have been noticing a lot of discussions about belief. I don't know if it is just something that people are now talking about more openly now or if I just never noticed it before. Last night I was watching Glee and the theme of the show was spirituality and religion. They were shocked that the one boy didn't believe in God or anything at all.
In the past week, reincarnation, ghosts, soul mates, and guides came up.
In the past few months, it has been religion, God, aliens, karma and evolution.
I have opinions on some of these things, but not all of them. Some of them I would have to see to believe. This post isn't for me to discuss my beliefs though.
I just find it interesting to hear what other people believe, but more so why they believe it. When discussing God a few months ago an atheist asked me how can I not believe in evolution. I think that everyone is entitled to believe what they believe, as long as they have a reason for it. I would never just believe something just because.
The theme Glee was that it didn't matter what you believed, as long as you believe in something. They felt that everyone needed something to hold on to.
I tend to be very logical. But I don't necessarily do a lot of research, so my belief system does not extend very far. Some of the things that have been brought up, I merely don't have an interest in, or feel that I need to figure out in order to live my life.
Sorry, this is a random and pretty botchy post...
