My religion
When I was younger I was very confused about what I should do... should I believe in God or not? My parents are like most Swedish parents I guess. They haven't talked much about politics or religion with me or my sister, because they want us to form our own opinions. I've always thought that this is the best way to go and I will raise my own children in the same way. Nowadays I know that 'God' can mean a lot of different things. It doesn't necessarily have to be some old dude sitting on a cloud somewhere, it can also be something that represents hope and comfort. But when I was young I almost felt ashamed praying to God, because I felt stupid. So many people around me had told me that it was ridiculous to believe that there was a higher power. And personally I thought that the Big Bang theory made a lot of sense. It had proof, it had evidence, it was logical. But I was scared! I think most people on earth, no matter if they believe in God or not have gone through that period when they think "what if?".... What if we are wrong for believing in God?... What if we are wrong for not believing in God?.... What if there is life after death, will we be punished then?.... No that's ridiculous to believe.... or is it?
I think I decided my religious point of view when I was around 15-16 years old. Back then I didn't even know that my thoughts actually had a name. When people asked me what I believed in I just replied "Maybe God exists, maybe he doesn't. I don't know because I've never met God and I sure as hell wasn't around when the Big Bang came crashing through. All I know is that Big Bang sounds more likely then God. But then again, what do I know. Maybe I am wrong."
Well apparently this religious view has a name = Agnoticism. So I am a Agnostic. I called myself an Atheist for a long time because that was a person who doesn't believe in God. But even though I think the Big Bang sounds more likely, I am very open minded and don't rule anything out. I just don't like making statements and decisions about things that I have no clue about.
