GOD ONLY KNOWS AND WE SURE AS HELL DON’T!
...we all contrive stories to explain why things happen and are the way they are. but we don't really ever know, we are not gods or omnipotent. we are human and limited in our understanding. we can strive to maintain faith in a loving universe that provides for us, and what appears to us as good, bad or ugly conforms according to divine plan, chaos theory, or whatever you want to call the force(s) you believe in.
what if, we really are immortal and after our deaths, regardless of whether we think of them as untimely or tragic..we come back? we live in god’s world and not one of our own making. the game goes on and on and on, life after life after life.
This idea doesn’t at all sound strange compared to the many systems of belief that we indoctrinate ourselves with. Born a sinner having to repent and be perfectly good (whatever that looks like) so we don’t go to EVERLASTING hell after we die. Why the fk would an after life last eternally when the one we know is so short?
Who developed these beliefs; especially the ones with a cruel and punitive god. thank you for writing a horror movie for me to live in disciples of Christ or scribes or ghostwriter altogether. What nonsense. Harder still to understand is how we can go on believing even slightly that there is hell and damnation if we don’t behave exactly as some dogma written by some imperfect human proclaims.
We are kept in our place by fear. This is the way societies control the people. And the more frightened the people become the greater their own need for control, for rules, for ideas of right and wrong. The result is that we live our lives founded in fear instead of love. Judgment instead of acceptance.
But if we are immortal then what is there to fear? Death is just a new beginning ya? Isn’t this idea as valid as any other? Perhaps even more so since energy is neither created nor destroyed but only transformed time and time and time again.
I dunno. What would it be to go through life feeling completely safe in the wisdom of insecurity, never knowing what will unfold next? If not for our fear, isn’t this the adventure we would all like our lives to be?
