Great thread, I'm all over it. I like the idea of stopping in atheism for a while, and the idea that you can't stagnate; you're always going to change and review your beliefs. If God isn't man enough to accept this kind of doubting, would you want to share heaven or life forever on earth under those kinds of rules anyway?
I love life now, that's a great start for me.
Welcome Willow Tree.
I felt like you did for 10 years as a pretend JW. But I actually now am prepared to believe in God and appreciate him. What I have found comparing the commonality of religion is that there is spirituality and there is intelligence in life. Maybe Buddha was closer to the reality, that we can not be definite about who God is, so more important is to appreciate each moment of life.
I personally like the religious viewpoint of the Eastern religions, that of Yin Yang. There is good and bad in everything and understanding that prepares us for the next life. I believe I am here to learn. I will go on to an afterlife, though am not sure what it will entail or really care. But I do know that the more I learn and the better i become as a person the better equipped i am to enjoy this life, and hopefully the next.
Hi, thank you all for your responses. :)
