Just Wondering...
Did you ever think that maybe we were just a figment of some other being's imagination? Our whole universe, everything in existence, might not even exist, except in someone else's mind? What we know as millions of years could be just seconds to that being, and the minute they became bored, they could end our existence with the blink of an eye.
This almost begs the question, do I believe in God? The only way I can answer that is, I don't know. I don't know if there is a higher power. I can't prove that God exists and I can't prove that God doesn't exist. I like to think that there is something more to this life, to this universe. It would be a big waste of space if there wasn't, but I can't prove that there is anything more.
I guess what brought this thinking upon me recently was how I seem to always be hearing that if we were to bring God back into schools, the violence and drug abuse would end. To me, that theory is complete bullshit. Putting religion back into school is not going to make people stop hating each other. Maybe I think this because I equate religion with much of what I dislike about this world. I see so much violence with religion, and no I'm not referring solely to Islam. There are people who follow the Christian belief who are very racist and homophobic. The KKK burns crosses to "strike the fear of God" into minorities. People shed blood over the argument of whose God is superior. I just cannot fathom what these people are even thinking.
Am I against people believing in a higher power? Absolutely not. But I think there are too many interpretations on how to appease that God. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding the entire concept.
