| You are an Atheist |
 When it comes to religion, you're a non-believer (simple as that). You prefer to think about what's known and proven. You don't need religion to solve life's problems. Instead, you tend to work things out with logic and philosophy. |
i always thought i was agnostic. because, you know...all the evidence we have don't prove anything. at least, not to me. but i still haven't turned down the idea that there *is* no god.
i've always thought that god was created by people because of the lack of something to believe in. like, just to have hope that there's someone out there who cac solve all thier problems. they need that to go on on their darkest of times, right? something to believe in...something to have faith in...something to hold on to when all seems so slippery.
i can already hear my religion teacher telling me off. actually she's partly the reason why i don't really believe in god (i mean, i don't blieve, but i also don't *not* believe. get it?) she shows me how narrow-minded christians can get--especially with The Da Vinci Code incident. I MEAN, SHE PRACTICALLY HURLED THE BLOODY BOOK TO THE FLOOR. doesn't that tell us something? because whoever said we actually believed it? i mean, she said it herself: IT'S BLOODY FICTION. so what's she ranting on about?
and whoever said i believed in the whole christianity thing? i mean, when it all comes down to it, christianity's just like paganism, hinduism, buddhism and all those other -isms. it's just that there are more of them in the philippines. so why can't they respect what other people believe in? i mean, they've always said it's a free world, right? and just because they think they're right, they aren't necessarily. because as far as i know, some of them aren't.
plus, christianity is so sexist. i'm just saying.
philosophy provides me more plausible answers to all those stuff that bug me--like, what does 'meaning' mean, and who decides what has it? what's the gauge of intellectuality, and who sets it? at some point, could something have come from nothing? i could go on forever---but i've got to die sometime, so i'll stop at there.
i'm not saying anyone will agree with me, but this is just how i feel. please don't bash me or tell me i'm going to hell. because as far as i know, tartarus is much cooler. and if ever i go to heaven and have to stay with my religion teacher there, i'd say, "no, i'd much prefer to be a ghost, thank you very much, and observe living people for all eternity."
