To believe or not
This topic is almost as controversial as life itself and I have always maintained my own belief without necessarily be sensationalized but given all the celebrated topics on the blog lately, I am so tempted to yet again, explore a very sensitive and almost excruciatingly injurious and laborious to the mind discussion: The belief or no belief of GOD.The question is why do you believe? Reasons? And if not, why?
Below is my personal reasons and I have maintained these reasons after so many books I have read and after so many discussions I have engaged with.
I believe because, if the collective geniuses of the world including but not limited to Dr. Neil Tyson de Grazzie, a Quantum Physicist and Dr. Richard Dawkins, both well known professors at well known Universities, can't explain to me in layman's word the origin of this universe and until today CAN'T TELL ME WHERE THE END OF THIS Vast and expanse of space, then I have to give my belief to whom I call: God, and I am just and insignificant being. Having said that, I also believe that yes, there are other planets out there similar with us otherwise, all this space would be such a waste. If we truly are just but a tiny speck on this planet among millions more of galaxies in the Milky Way. (Coincidentally, NASA reports to keep discovering so many planets that are similar to ours but can't be sure about sustainability of life yet.)
Thank you so much for your participation and opinions.
I respect all other's belief (except those that are bent to harm and kill others) and no way am I imposing mine to anyone as I expect them not to impose their beliefs on mine.
Thank you all for your contribution and or reading.
And for the fellow members of the Christian world, may we all have a Happy and Joyful Easter.

Allowing any form of love into ones life
creates a path of redemption
Many screens of religion pass our lives
we cannot look upon one's that do not uphold goodness
The carefulness of deep understanding shall run within the vein
of spiritual knowing
we may not see a sign, but never be discouraged
being empty
will allow
one small answer
You are not alone
Did you just read this and laugh, or try to find the answer?
John is the Anglicized form of the Hebrew Yochanan meaning God is Gracious.
Matthew is a variant spelling of Mattathias, which is the Greek form of the Hebrew name Matityahu meaning Gift of God.
Mark's Hebrew equivalent is Mordechai and one of Luke's in Hebrew is Barak.
I was in Thailand las week and went diving. Te colors of the fish and the shapes of the reef simply made me gasp with amazement.
Some say that god created all creatures, Im not a believer in god..but even so mother nature has done one amazing job, either of the planet and its contents, or that mother nature has given the human being the eye.to see the wonderful colours..and the brain to appreciate the natural beauty it has given us.
So, the brain to most cannot comprehend the earth and how it became, you have to dog deep..who created god..and why does he not show himself...as there are 100's of regions that sprung and morphed from others.
You see if there was a god don't you think he would have sent a prophet to every corner of the earth to ensure we all knew what religion to follow?
My belief is our quest is to find the godly spirit within us. Rather than trying to find Higgs Boson to prove God theory is wrong or the big bang is right. Even if God is just a concept for some, it is a good concept to try and become like.
World would be a better place if we all strive to find the God essence within us. Because what happens after death no one knows. But how we live and try to make this world a better place is only thing that counts and remains left to be seen.
Happy Easter to you!

'And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.'

You CANNOT make this stuff up.
It is beyond(!) hilarious!!
Share me what you think.
I can't top this off. In our deepest, all boiled into one, indeed we are not alone.
Not that I suspect Z to be that way, just how I feel.
My motto: For those who believe explanation is not needed.
And those who don't, explanation is impossible..
Read Desiderata, will you?You'd be amazed.
Eventually of course, my saw how our world is ripped and torn by evil acts and prayed a lot for them.
Love you my dear Usha and thanks so much.
There are laws that are known to us, how, we learn and adapt and change. for survival, we have to fit within the environment that we thrive on. Like I said, all lower forms of animals can be subject for our survival, meaning we eat them. Unfortunately I can't control that, but mutually for man, we do have laws that allow us to put ourselves on top of the feeding order. Now you don't believe because of lack of that responsibility to justify why we do that just makes me cower to my stomach.
But it is your reason. I respect.
Thanks.
