I've lived a pretty dogmatic life. I haven't known much else. I started talking to a friend who's a philosophy major, and he up and tells me he thinks we just disappear after this. We have no soul, no spirit. We just live and die, and decompose. Like we never existed.
It's kind of pointless then. To live a Christian life. I've been trying to get away from it since the end of high school. Christianity, I mean. But no matter how hard I try, it's so hard for me to believe that this is it. That there's no heaven or hell. Then I think about all the years I've wasted going to church and essentially just talking to the ceiling in my room. It's just as easy for me to doubt it all. Anyway, the point of my topic. If you've grown up in a church, you've probably noticed how much stronger the fire is in the newborn Christian. Growing up with it... it just makes everything mundane and routine. Have you ever denounced Christianity, just so you can have that newborn fire? Do you think it's a sin? To want to experience the world and gain some sort of insight before blindly following the faith? |

So, do you think religion versus science equal to ______?
As a philosopher, they do a lot of scientific thinking. Maybe that’s why he didn’t think being Christian is that great because the proof of God's existence cannot be discover. Religion and science are beneficial in many ways. First of all, religion changes a person’s life through the rules of the bible and influences from one another. This means, the religious ideas actually protect people from wrongdoing actions. Science can also protect people too! That’s why we have pills, drugs, sexual protection, and medicines. Basically, it has something to do with logic explanations, proof , evidences, and common sense, not religion's existence. |
