It's all a gray area

How much of religion is just people wanting to believe in something? How much of it is people grasping at straws? How much of it is people wanting to have something that helps them explain things they don't understand? How much of it is people looking for an excuse or a way out? How much of it is people blindly believing what they are told? How much of it is children doing as their parents did?




These questions are not me questioning my beliefs. It's true, I haven't quite worked out in my head what I believe in, but I know what I don't. I know that I don't like the idea of most organized religion. I don't like being told I have to believe exactly that doctorine or I am wrong. I don't like how so many religions label things as 'evil' - drinking, smoking, doing some drugs, premarital sex, homosexuality, etc.

I have faith in something - some one or thing or multiple for that matter - but I can't put into words what it is yet, and I'm not really sure I want to. When you start putting down your beliefs they become a target for other people to find how you aren't adhering to them.

Anyways, I guess I was just noticing things again and I wanted to write down what I was thinking.

"So everything that doesn't fit into some stupid idea of what you think God wants, you just try to hide or fix or get rid of? It's just all too much to live up to. No one fits in one hundred percent of the time . . . Why would god make us all so different if he wanted us to be the same?" ~ Mary (Jena Malone), Saved!
