Agnostic
I believe that I am agnostic because I donÆt know what to think about religion. When it comes to saying whether I believe in God or not, I feel that I have not yet come to a complete understanding of GodÆs existence. This tends to be a vicious cycle which constantly runs through my head. Ever since I can remember, I was taught through my family and church that this being does exist, but as I grew older I began to question whether this almighty being really does exist. How can I believe that this being exists when every day I watch the news and hear of all the tragedy that is happening in the world. I have been taught through my family and church that God is the creator and supreme ruler of the universe. They also taught me that he has set up certain guidelines or rules for which . . .
If we as individuals pray and hold God to be the almighty, How can we make sense of all of the bloodshed, disease, evil and hatred in this world which we live. In my opinion, God is an image for all of us to look up to or strive for his perfection. If God creates, why would he create murderers, thieves, and rapist? How do we except all human beings dying from diseases such as cancer and aids. Where as Hell is known as being a prison for evil doers. Furthermore, if we follow these commandments, we will go to heaven and live in peace eternally. We have been told that if we disobey these commandments , we will ultimately go to hell. I have seen far to much evil in this world to be totally sure there is one almighty being watching over and protecting us. These are commonly known as the ten commandments. When in reality, there is no insurance to keep us safe from evil. I do believe that they are still a good set of standards and values for everyone to live by. Everyone wants to be as perfect as the way we perceive God as being. We all basically have the same perception of what Heaven and Hell are like. Can we really state that there is a God, when so many of the young have died in war, or who can account for a creature such as Hitler.
